It's slow at work (finally) and not being the fool some think I am, I'm laying low, incognito-ish - trying to carve out enough time to load up the water pistol:
- Lots of love for the French all of the sudden from the most unusal of places; the election of conservative Nicolas Sarkozy as president has the American right feeling vindicated ... about something. Right wing word processing programs nearly self destruct after not having to spell check the word surrender for five days in a row. Imagine the relief in Paris when they heard that Bill O'Reilly had lifted his boycott against their country. Me, I find the 85% turnout rate the most interesting detail. That's a serioulsy high level of voter participation. (We had 55% turnout in 2004).
- Caffeinated soap - for those who need that morning cup of joe but don't have a cup?
- The right continues to spew out the traitor label to members of the party that represent the will of the vast majority of Americans (go to end of page), so it's more than a touch ironic to see Republican Congressman from Texas, Ted Poe, quote Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Grand Wizard of the KKK and leading General of the Confederate Army, on the floor of Congress. Memo to the right; opposing political views do no make you a traitor, taking up arms against your country does.
- On news of the resignation of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Gawker.com said it best: "U.S. Puppet Departs Position "Running" Tiny Island Nation"
- If you should find yourself at the Ritz Carlton in Isla Verde, PR, make your way over to the bar at BLT Steak. A young woman there by the name of Melissa is a great bartender and can score you a prime table at an optimal time. I recommend the filet. Good oysters too.
- Should Rudy be excommunicated? The Pope's latest take on the matter of Catholic politicians who support abortion seems to indicate he thinks so. They tried to do this to Kerry a few years ago. Do "real" Americans give a damn about the Pope? And by real Americans I mean the 30% of our nation that comprise the Republican base.
- It's Friday's Eve - go out and celebrate.

O'Reilly and Rudy are the biggest fucking hypocrites. O'Reilly just bullies all his guest, even those that agree with him, so that he can rush the discussion to his viewpoint. Why can't hip-hop thugs fuck him up when he disses rap/hip-hop but they are quick to kill another artists? fucking pussies.
Rudy can run all he wants for the GOP. the multiple marriages, marital affairs, abortion position and true story of his response to 9/11 will help GOPs lose.
I saw McCain on Jon Stewart last week and he too failed to come correct with the traitor label. Disagreeing with our failed policy on Iraq is not being a traitor. Leaving Iraq is not surrendering...if we continue to led the debate use such terms (traitor, surrender) we will never come to grips with the problem.
First it was about taking Saadam and his WMDs. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld assured us that Saadam was a threat with WMDs and an evil tryant. Cheney said we knew were the WMDs are and would find them soon enough. They assured us that the country we greet us as liberators....here we are 4 years later and there were no WMDs, no yellow cake, no absolute rejoycing in the streets and no stability. the goal with this presidency keeps changing. Do we really think we can topple a countries leader by force expect that leader's followers to just stay silent? what fucking crack are we smoking?
we will realize 2-3 years from now, that only a diplomatic solution involving all the powers in the ME will stabilize the region. Sadly we will waste billions of dollars, sacrifice thousands of US soldiers and tens of thousands innocent Iraqi people before we wise up.
