Yo. And Family Circus
I haven’t really been blogging lately, and I apologize. Sometimes the spirit gets me and I have a lot of things to say, and other times, not so much.
It’s one of those other times. So while I recharge, enjoy a totally bizarre, totally not doctored Family Circus.
I never realized “Daddy” was actually Captain [...]
Read More..>>I Am Smarter than Charles Schumer
On November 9, 2007, I wrote a post calling out Charles Schumer in incredibly strong terms for his support of Michael Mukasey.
I hope one of your kids is arrested on suspicion of terrorism, imprisoned secretly with no access to a lawyer, and waterboarded.
You are scum, Senator Schumer. You are a bad Jew, a bad Democrat, [...]
Steven D. Runs for Office
Steven D at Booman Tribune has decided to run for office as a Republican. He has promised me the position of Secretary of Homeland Security.
Our platform? Blowing up lots of people with neutron bombs to protect and secure our interests, including Iraq, Americans without health insurance, illegal immigration, the housing and mortgage crisis, and [...]
Why I left the Democrat[ic] Party
Well, I finally did it: I re-registered as unaffiliated today, and will post pictures of my form later this evening. I have left the Democratic Party, because it has become the Democrat Party (or as Booman calls it the “Don’t Call Me Soft on Terrorism and Keep that Telecom Money Coming Party”). [...]
Read More..>>The Stimulus That Isn’t
UPDATED BELOW
I’ve been reading a bunch about the economic stimulus package the Democrats and Republicans are putting together as fast as they can.
Democrats said the centerpiece of the plan would be a widely distributed tax rebate, perhaps totaling as much as $96.5 billion or roughly two-thirds of the total amount President Bush has [...]
Here We Go Again
George Bush’s best friend in Congress, Harry Reid, is at it again, trying to force through legislation that would give AT&T and Verizon retroactive immunity for breaking the law by participating in Bush’s illegal wiretapping program.
However, a campaign is underway to get Obama and Clinton to return to DC to help Senator Dodd filibuster this [...]
Not a Failure Anymore
With the news that the Democrats will not pursue contempt charges against harriet Miers and Josh Bolton for failing to respond to a Congressional subpoena, I am retiring any language about “the failure of the Democrats to do this or that”.
It’s not a failure anymore. It’s a DELIBERATE PROVOCATION
Mood
I’m in this weird angry mood right now and I don’t know why. Christina asked me if it had to do with Sam leaving, and that probably has something to do with it but only at the very deep subconscious level. The drop off was fine, and my ride home was literally one [...]
Read More..>>Recession
Everybody’s writing about the recession.
So I’ll add my two cents. What worries me the prospect of unemployment, because it’s harder to find work in a recession. As for the rest? As Christina mentioned last night “we don’t have much in the way of investments to lose and you chose a really cheap [...]
The Jersey Girl
I met a little girl in Knoxville
A town we all know well
And every Sunday evening
Out in her home I’d dwell
We went to take an evening walk
About a mile from town
I picked a stick up off the ground
And knocked that fair girl down
That’s the first couple of verses to “The Knoxville Girl”, a particularly bloody murder [...]
