Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

When I was faster i was always behind.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Bark louder, little dog.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

John Kerry, Vietnam Veteran

[sarcasm] Wow! John Kerry is a Vietnam veteran? I didn’t know that. [/sarcasm]

Honestly, folks. Is there anyone on the planet yet unaware that John Kerry is a Vietnam veteran (and for that, regardless of his uncanny ability to be on the wrong side of every political issue, he should be honored as a legitimate American hero)? I think he feels the need to keep repeating this, but it is so tedious, so cumbersome, that after a while, it wears thin. I am not sure why he even bothers- anyone so dumb that they don’t know by now he is a Vietnam vet is going to be voting straight ticket Democrat in 2004, anyway- if they can find their way to the pollbooth and read the ballot.

Another Suit Struck Down

Does anyone keep track of all the unsuccessful lawsuits filed against Presidents? It would be fun to see who had what filed against them. Here is another one against Bush that failed:

A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by a former congressman alleging that President Bush violated the 1973 War Powers Act by attacking Iraq.

Former Rep. Clair Callan had no legal standing to file the court action and failed to show that he would be personally injured by Bush’s actions, U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf ruled.

Surely this legislator should have known he would have no legal standing. Congressman understand the laws they make, right?

The Long and Winding Road

Here is a draft of the Road Map for Peace:

PHASE I:
ENDING TERROR AND VIOLENCE, NORMALIZING PALESTINIAN LIFE,
AND BUILDING PALESTINIAN INSTITUTIONS
PRESENT TO MAY 2003

In Phase I. the Palestinians immediately undertake an unconditional cessation of violence according to the steps outlined below; such action should be accompanied by supportive measures undertaken by Israel. Palestinians and Israelis resume security cooperation based on the Tenet work plan to end violence, terrorism, and incitement through restructured and effective Palestinian security services. Palestinians undertake comprehensive political reform in preparation for statehood, including drafting a Palestinian constitution, and free, fair and open elections upon the basis of those measures. Israel takes all necessary steps to help normalize Palestinian life. Israel withdraws from Palestinian areas occupied from September 28, 2000 and the two sides restore the status quo that existed at that time, as security performance and cooperation progress. Israel also freezes all settlement activity, consistent with the Mitchell report.

New Addition to the Family

Today was Tunch’s one year birthday, so I went to the pound and rescued another cat so that he would have a play friend. I now have two one year old cats, and I will not be in the market for another one anytime soon.

Things went relatively smoothly when I introduced the two- there was a lot of tension, some high pitched yelling, and hair everywhere- but enough about me. Tunch and Oliver (and no, I did not name him after Oliver North- when I saw him at the pound he just looked like an Oliver to me- and that seems to be as good a way to name a pet as any other, so it stuck) seemed to hate each other at first, then after a few hours their behavior turned into a sort of almost French indifference (“Yes- I see the stinking cat. What about it? He does not bother me. Give me a Pounce treat. You bore me, human.”)

After ten hours together, I am now John, the human Jungle Gym. The couch is now kitty high hurdles. I don’t know where my cell phone, my keys, any of my pens, or the remote controls are hidden. In other words, I am now servant to two masters. I will post some pictures when I borrow my friend’s digital camera.
