Finally, it’s Friday. What a long goddamn week this has been. Thank god there’s a three-day weekend coming up. It’s gonna take me that long to clean up the house.
Pretty crappy week, fer sher. I was happy that my AIPAC congressperson, Nita Lowey, voted against the Iraq bill. Looks like Pelosi let some of her angry troops vote against it on self-protective grounds. Not one GOP voted against it, except for Ron Paul, and even Freedom Fries Walter Jones, who is against the war, voted for. The authoritarian impulses that rule the GOP are truly frightening. After seven years of being treated like shit by the White House, these lemmings don’t have any other gears – they are genetically incapable of standing up for principle. Boehner had a melt down on the floor
Think I’ll brush my teeth now with my toothpaste from china. Have a nice weekend. :sammy:
Pelosi voted against it, too. At least there will finally be a raise in the minimum wage. It isn’t enough, but it’s better then nothing – and the first raise in ten years.
Not so good for the people over in Iraq, though. Those guys from the 10th Mountain Division that got kidnapped are based in Fort Drum, about an hour north of here. They’re “our” guys. The one that they found floating in the river was only 20 years old, and they say he’d been over there for a year already. Just a kid.
How many more?
Gee, they did a study to see if going to college increases the likelihood that you’ll “overindulge” in alcohol. Duh.
Hope they didn’t pay a lot of money for that one.
Bush In Line of Fire
ABC’s Ann Compton reports: An outdoor news conference in perfect spring weather, with birds chirping loudly in the magnolia trees, is not without its hazards.
As President Bush took a question Thursday in the White House Rose Garden about scandals involving his Attorney General, he remarked, “I’ve got confidence in Al Gonzales doin’ the job.â€
Simultaneously, a sparrow flew overhead and left a splash on the President’s sleeve, which Bush tried several times to wipe off.
Deputy White House Press Secretary Dana Perino promptly put the incident through the proper spin cycle, telling ABC News, “It was his lucky day…everyone knows that’s a sign of good luck.â€

I wonder what the lift capacity of a sparrow is??

In a related story, Alberto Gonzales had the sparrow waterboarded, then Dick Cheney bit its head off and drank its blood.
ABC reporter Ann Compton was stripped naked and shackled to a wall in the White House press dungeon as punishment for reporting this crime against our savior Jesus H. Bush.
:fu:
Hey guys…did you look at HuffPo’s lead story and then the coments section??
The first comment is t.s. elliot’s the hollow men poem….
fantastic!
These fuckers are sending around self congratulatory emails and trying to fund raise on this….!!
Is it some kind of sick joke?
I think that in reality they have more of ahold on things than we know, but the disinformation campaign must be making herr rove proud!
Nova M Radio announced today that veteran talk-radio programming/operations specialist John Manzo has signed on as their new Chief Operating Officer.

WINO WATCH! :alc:
Amy got MARRIED! And she may do it AGAIN! :omg:
http://tinyurl.com/35r7ea
These people need to update their files. That picture is about four years old, circa her first album when Amy weighed a little more and carried a lot less ink. :no:
Speaking of ink, the lucky groom is the guy whose name is inked on Amy’s left breast. I guess she decided matrimony was preferrable to tat removal.
:rofl2:
I just noticed that the marriage took place in Miami. She could have at least scheduled a few shows in Florida while she was here. Damn.
I’m no fan of the view but I think this is worth a watch.
When you know the vote ahead of time the “leadership” can make them selves look good by making it look like they voted with public opinion in the mean time they were waiting for that campaign contribution from the Exxon Mobile CEO.. :gate: :omg: :jason: :jason: :fist:
The “game” in DC has aways revolved around adding legislation to bills that must make it through both houses and get signed by the dictator and chief. The war is now becoming the fulcrum around which they will force legislation to get passed .. instead of doing the right thing its always been about making the compromise such that the “they” have to accept it to get their pet project/war passed too.
I don’t know if that is true elsewhere ( in the Eiropean governments for example) or not ..
It would be interesting to see what it took to get the EPA approved.
Using an illegal war for the fulcrum is cause for :gate: :omg: :jason: :jason:
The demodorps have been treating this as business as usual as if it were 1985 They live in the inside the beltway vacuum.. one way to relieve the negative pressure would be to blow a few holes in their containment vessel :tommygun:
Cheers Fred, I agree!
and KevinM …Sorry awwwwwww

I do not have Time to write (type)so just succinct:
— STAY DEM BUT TAKE OVER YOUR LOCAL DNC!
Get friends and family to stand with you…then move into power of DNC
— Change to Independant Party:
(Yet always vote Dems AT THIS TIME. Stay focused! First get rid of RETHUGS.)
Work for voting for a #2 objective — demand it, although in this society one only has time to care for Your Children and WORK and just MAYBE one has time to send an email – yet THERE ARE SO MANY CAUSES! 🙁
If Independent Party, then DEMS “Have To Court You” for their vote and will not take your vote for granted.
BOXER VOTED NO. “FineFUCK” voted YES, thus VOTED and STOOD FOR RETHUGS. And I even, at one time, beat the bloody streets for that arrogant whore.
GET INVOLVED:
*send at least EMAILS REGARDING YOUR DISSENT
*send spay/neuter post cards with a succinct (for me, angry) message.
*and keep sending cards and letters 😉
…And this is just the beginning!
BRAINSTORM! (even on this blog) and add your ideas.
Ni Neart Go Cur …. (part quote meaning) from Book Of Kells
IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH.
I wish even MORE would have voted for Gore.
I FEEL USED AND ABUSED AND I WILL GET EVEN. I have not said “DIE” Yet or Ever!
Can you imagine how I feel, even when many here “divided and got conquered”.
This is a battle we will win the war (against rethugs). I was sad, now i am MAD. I am just so sorry that so many youths are BEING SACRIFICED!
(I just found out that besides the Irish blood in me there is Apache and Mexican — either way that =’s YAAAAAAAAAAA = BATTLE CRY!
AND I HAVE BEEN CALLING SINCE THE 9th of May
re NSPD-51 …ass(istants) for whomever WERE IN DENIAL. (but i didn’t have number of Order, but I do NOW and have been calling AGAIN.) At least this time they cannot feign innocense.
ARREST! IMPEACH! VIGILANCE!

When the United Fruit Company encouraged the SBR to provide advisor’s and train the army of the United Fruit Company owned government in Nicaragua in the 1980s they started what was described as a civil war in which over 200,000 people mostly peasants were killed.. The tactic was that the people would eventually get tired of the killing and surrender to achieve peace.. What actually happened was that the the peasants put up such a strong opposition that their government compromised and RayGun was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It sill took until last year for the populay supported officials to to regain power. The typical citizen of the SBR being a STUPID MORON who watches the TeeVee for his infotainment is still clueless about what is happening in IRAQ.. If American Idol and Football were to disappear from the airways they might pay more attention. :tommygun: :tommygun:
On the other hand they may just go to bed earlier. :reaper: :reaper:
I think that once you make a phone call or email your congress hole on a particular subject you are put on ignore.. I think that was proven during the Supreme Court Judge conformation hearings.. they want to hear from more than just a few fanatic constituents. Unfortunately most Amerikans are STUPID MORONS :reaper: :reaper:
Fred, GOOD WORDS AND WISDOM…yep, Plan two thru Plan A-Zillion….
I keep remembering the good and WISE ol’ words:
KEEP ON TRUCKING!

No power here. Estimated repair time not til after eleven PM. This blows. Sorry sed radio fans. If there’s no thread in AM you’ll know why. Shitty way to start my first weekend off. At least I get some practice with the blackberry.
I remember when a lot of people said that battery backed equipment only had to hold things up for two hours or less because anything longer would be an indication of nuclear war and no one would care if it came back up in 20,000 years … :reaper: :reaper:
Ah, that’s better. Guess they got things done a bit quicker than they thought. I don’t know how long it was off. Long enough to drain my 1200VA UPS completely, anyway. And that was before I got home at 4:45 or so. I sure hope it stays on. I was kinda looking forward to just laying around with the dog and watching some teevee. Already missed my SG1 repeat.
I’ve been laying around the pool waiting for my dividend check. The water is lovely! :yippee:
But no dividend check 🙁
Hey all…baby bird is alive and kicking…Im hand feeding every 2 hours…jeeze…
I believe I have to do this all night…maybe will stretch it to every 3 hours at night.
What a day…and I just had a big fight with my Mom because she was giving me the chris matthews line about the dems…as opposed to the move on guy saying that they made such a mistake…
This idea that the dems had no choice because it was impossible to get the word out to the american people is just so much bullshit. Obama and Hillary both could scream this from the rafters and every newsmagazine in the country….
Why werent they screaming that this was about funding the surge??
meantime, Mom was calling me to tell me about how they are trying to slime Hill with the 2 new books…and I kept saying that she has made such a mistake to do this vote so last minute and not talking about it first…so cowardly!
And she kept saying that one thing has nothing to do with the other…and I said well, actually her electibility is gonna be effected by all of this, be is a swiftboat book or screwy voting and positioning herself so stiffly and carefully…
God I am so mad…
Krista is at the cee-ment pond!! :yippee:
Now thats how to live!! Just wear your sunscreen!
Having a pool here is awesome! Some friends’ kids just came over and had a blast. I need more pool toys.
“baby bird is alive and kicking” !!!
yay! best news i’ve heard today!

check this out all you dog lovers:
Buy a Dog
If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never says its not quite as good as his mother made it …
then buy a dog.
If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour, for as long and wherever you want …
then buy a dog.
If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn’t care about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies …
then buy a dog.
If you want someone who is content to get up on your bed just to warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores .
then buy a dog.
If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn’t care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves you unconditionally, perpetually …
then buy a dog.
But, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never come when you call, ignores you totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night and only comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness
then buy a cat!
