running away again

Here's a new picture of the boy. He's a big fan of auto racing. He can say Schumacher correctly.















Off to a conference for the rest of the week.

illegal activity by the Vice Pres. Press yawns and ignores.

Lawyer: Cheney Visitor Logs Not Recorded

We should be very thankful for CREW. If it wasn't for their diligent digging, much would continue to be covered up and ignored.
Really, impeach and jail Cheney.

18 months out.

Los Angeles mayor to endorse Clinton

The primaries don't start until January. 7 months away.
I'm already getting really really really sick of all of this.

More stupidity.

Ky. Creation Museum opens to thousands

Speechless.
This place cost $27 million. Imagine the good things that could have been done with that money.
According to the article, there's an exhibit in the "museum" that asserts that all animals were vegetarians until Adam committed the original sin.
Really.

Batshit insane woman laughed out of court. Again.

Ga. judge: Keep Potter books in school

Seriously. She's still never bothered to actually read the books!
And now she plans to file a Federal case. You'll be shocked to hear that she's representing herself in court.

And another example of stupid crazy!

Activists: U.S. to reject climate deal

I'm starting to lose my patience with the crazies who are in charge of this country.
Okay, let's be honest, I never had much patience for their bullshit in the first place.
But these days, I've stopped giving Repubs even the benefit of the doubt.
They are harming the country and they are harming the world.

new museum for the stupids opens

New museum says dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark

Just simply stupid.
This is some sort of embarrassing nightmare of a joke.
I refuse to respect this sort of delusional crazy talk. They're idiots.
Babbling twits.

I don't see the same honor coming Bush's way, do you?

Kosovo to honor Bill Clinton with statue

Yeah, that's not likely to happen for Bush in either Iraq or Afghanistan is it?

Asshat.

Gay bishop snubbed by Anglican conference

Doesn't your God say to love everyone? Hypocrite!


Yes, I am in full on cranky this afternoon.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Hoyer: Iraq timeline not in new war bill

WHAT IN THE FLAMING FLYING FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!??!?!?!?!!?

I am so GOD-DAMMED SICK of this shit!!!

Listen to me you cowardly, craven Republican appeasing Democratic cowards (I know I used it twice, that's how cowardly they are and angry I am): BUSH IS NOT POPULAR! YOU DO NOT NEED TO PUT UP WITH HIS BULLYING GARBAGE!!!

Do you remember back in November? We elected you to get the troops out of the massive, dragging quagmire that is Iraq!
Why can't you do that?!
Do you not pay any attention to what your constituents tell you?


I'm absolutely serious about this. At this moment, not one sitting Senator or Representative will be getting my vote next year! NOT ONE OF YOU! Obama, Clinton, Biden, Kucinich, Dodd. NOT ONE OF YOU!

update: I see that Dodd is not backing down. He goes back on the good Democrat list. Dodd and Feingold Fighting The Good Fight On Iraq

Still pissed off, though.

Really? Well my friend says the Army is full of shit!

Army says Dragon Skin armor falls short
Body armor about to hit the fan - Part I (Updated w/NBC info)
Body armor about to hit the fan - Part II (UPDATED)

My friend, Occam's Hatchet, has been following the story about the Dragon Skin armor for about a year. Maybe more. He's very detailed and thorough. And, somehow, I find him to be a much more reliable source than Bush's Army.

liars and cowards

White House lawyer criticize Plame suit

I really want to use a huge number of expletives to describe these creepy Republican bastards.
They're wrong. And their actions were illegal.

New from Michael Moore

'Sicko' stars thank Moore for Cuba trip

Looking forward to seeing this.

a minor grouse

So. The elections are what, almost 18 months away, right?
And I've added my name to a couple campaign's email lists.
But I'm not committing to any one candidate at this time.
And I'm not giving any money to any one either!
And yet, there is one candidate from whose campaign I regularly get mail.
And whose campaign has been calling my house at least twice a day for the last couple weeks (thank you caller id).
I haven't signed up on this candidate's list.

The people whose lists I've signed up on email me a couple times a week. They don't ever call me at home.

update: just to be fair and to be clear. I have absolutely nothing at all against the candidate in question. In fact, I think they'd be a great nominee and I would very cheerfully work to get them elected as President. I just think it's way too early to commit to anyone.

See ya!

Wolfowitz resigning from World Bank

Hopefully in a war crimes court somewhere!
They allowed him to leave with way too much of his dignity intact.

Interesting.

Dems seek no-confidence vote on Gonzales

Schumer says that he expects that they could get 60 votes. Interesting. It should be a pretty straight forward thing, I would think. Gonzales has proven over and over again that he's nothing but a Bush lackey do nothing Attorney General. Any person with a bit of self awareness would have resigned from the simple shame. But Gonzo lingers on.

Happy Anniversary

Happy 38th Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Don't toy with Shayera!

Wolfowitz to Resign This Afternoon?

To paraphrase Yoda: Do or do not. Don't dither!

Comey's got some things to say

White House pushed Ashcroft on wiretaps

James Comey is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee today.

Hey McNulty, are you paying attention?!

Gonzales: Deputy was pointman on firings

Do you notice how Gonzo's turned on McNulty within one day? And seriously, Gonzales has got to be the worst AG ever. He never seems to know anything that goes on in his office!
Loyalty has to have a point where you say enough is enough. Is McNulty going to allow his reputation to be smeared?

Are they kidding?

Wolfowitz mistakes no firing offense: White House

Guy used his position to get his mistress a tax free promotion. And I love how the article refers to her as his "companion." Wolfowitz is married. She's his mistress. I hope they fire his ass.

Pictures

My Flickr pictures

I put about 100 pictures of my trip over on Flickr.
There's a neat Flickr widget somewhere on the sidebar. Come and take a look and leave comments.

Throw some people under the bus on your way out!

McNulty, Justice Dept. No. 2, resigning

They've been setting him up as the fall guy. I hope he names names.

Feingold's bill coming to a vote!

Senate to vote on ending war funding

Excellent! Of course, the article pulls the usual, "it's not likely to pas blah blah blah", but it should still be voted on!
I want names baby. Names of the Senators who don't think it's important to actually end the war.

I'm back!

Guess where I was!
Normal blogging to resume after all the unpacking and house cleaning.
And I'll put some of the pictures I took onto Flickr at some point. I took 900 pictures in the 11 days I was gone.

thank you Captain Obvious!

Cheney: Iraq remains a dangerous place

Hey everybody! Look who got slapped upside the head by the clue stick! Next thing you know, Cheney's going to be remarking that water is wet!

I'd run first!

No Schwarzenegger White House race, Republicans say

Good thing they dropped this stupid thing. Trust me, if the Constitution had been amended to allow the Gropinator to run, I'd be tossing my (completely unqualified) hat in the ring.

Spines still in evidence!

Democrats not backing down on Iraq

Wow! Looks like negotiations have to go on.
Pretty positive developments, I say.

Popping In

Hi all!
Greetings from my vacation! I'm having a fantastic time and taking massive amounts of pictures!
