A Quick One While She's Away

Rumor has it that Iranian Security Task Forces are trying to find bloggers by searching by time settings on Twitter, Blogspot, what have you...

I don't know the validity of this but you can show your support for Iranian free speech by setting your Twitter or Blog time setting to +3:30 (Tehran). I'm not sure what it will do, but what the hell.

Guess who's back, back again....

OH HAI!

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It has been 8 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days since my last blog post...

I admittedly have not put much thought into where I'm going to take this bad boy not that we can smell what Barack is cooking and all Sarah Palin has to contribute is a petty flame ware with David Letterman, or as like to call it Natural Gas Pipeline Distraction Tactic #286. It may stay political- this Herenton-Cohen thing could provide some quality fodder, or it could start falling back towards a much more random mishmash of recipes, green living tips, and general observations inspired by bickering matches with Dan Russo. The jury is still out.

If you have any ideas, links, upcoming events, or kickass rock and roll tunes you'd like to see me share, feel free to let me know.

And now, I leave you with the excellent joke I heard this morning:

Two cows are standing in a pasture. The first one looks at the second one and says, "You know, even though pi is usually abbreviated to four or five digits, it actually goes on infinitely." The second cow looks at the first cow and replies, "Moo."

*Forgot to mention, there are a few tickets available for the Oblivians/Gories at the Hi Tone this evening. You can show up wicked early to try to get in or contact Jonathan Kiersky in advance. I highly advise the former.

Feel Good Friday- Ralph Stanley

In honor of far and away the coolest ad of this entire election cycle.

Just to make myself clear...

I want to amend my previous post. I'm not letting Pelosi off the hook. The end of her speech yesterday was a not so subtle kick to the balls of the House minority. It was stupid, irresponsible, petty, and inappropriate.

That being said, the House Republican's response was in turn stupid, irresponsible, petty and inappropriate.

Is it just me or are the inmates running the asylum?

What It Feels Like to Be Fucked in the Ass by an Elephant

I have very little to say about what happened yesterday.

The only thing I really want to comment on is the complete transparency of the excuse laid out by House Republicans. Nancy Pelosi hurt your feelings so you didn't vote her way? What a bunch of bullshit. It's an election year, your party is tanking, the entire country hates your president, so you voted against his bill so that you can be re-elected. Talk about putting country first and not inserting politics into the process!

I'm exhausted and too terrified to really get in depth into theories and pick apart everything every pundit has written today. I just can't do it.

Y'all have a good one.










Oh, on a funny note, apparently Dennis Phillippi thought I was a Republican. The record has been set straight.

John McCain- Putting the Troops First

This was 15 years ago, on the declassification of military documents to locate MIAs on behalf of their families. The Vietnamese were softening and becoming willing to work with the US to return bodies and release information.

This committee was formed to aid this process. McCain was on this committee, all was going well, and then the subject of declassification arose. Eventually McCain passed legislation permanently classifying all of these documents.

John, could you be hiding something?

DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN

From the nytimes.com:

Mr. McCain’s campaign had actually declared victory as early as 10 a.m. Friday, hours before the debate here and even before Mr. McCain had committed to attend. In what aides said was a mix-up, The Wall Street Journal posted an Internet advertisement twelve hours early showed Mr. McCain proudly looking into the distance the words “McCain Wins Debate!”

A reader of the Washington Post spotted it and alerted the paper’s blog, The Fix, which promptly posted it before the red-faced McCain campaign removed it.
