heading out, across the sea
Later today, I leave for a 10-day trip to England. sprite and I will travel around southern England (with a quick dip into Wales), soaking in the scenery and having fun. I’ll post when I can. Until then, enjoy the randomness.
nola: karen hughes is a hack
Karen Hughes, “image czar” for BushCo, says that it was “the looters” that had a greater impact on the lowering of the U.S.’s image abroad, not the failure of leadership of President Bush, Michael Brown, Michael Chertoff, etc. Hmm. Seems that everywhere I look online, it’s the BushCo fumble that’s drawing mostof the ire of …
dems: oppose all bush scotus nominees
A quick message to all Democrats who are in positions to make a difference: Stand in the way of John Roberts and all other Bush Supreme Court nominees! Stand in the way. Filibuster. Oppose. Obstruct. Hold press conferences. Outflank the theocons. Above all: stand your ground. If Frist unveils the “nuclear option,” let him. There …
want more proof that theocons lie?
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released a statement yesterday that lambasted congressional Democrats for “voting against [a] $52B disaster relief package for Katrina survivors.” 65 Democrats were singled out by this release. The only problem: the statement was an out-and-out lie. In fact, the only members of congress to vote against the $51.6 billion …
fun at rfk
Due to a last-minute ticket swap with our friend, Kathy, sprite and I were able to go to tonight’s Nationals-Braves game at RFK. The game was quite a treat. Atlanta got off to a hot start, scoring two runs in the second inning and adding another four in the fourth. The Nats added a run …
mmmm… food references
Possibly the best time-waster I’ve seen in a while – especially if you’re a fan of The Simpsons: The Simpsons Archive: Food Index. (As seen at Slashfood)
freedom takes a walk – or does it?
Isn’t it nice to know that the America Supports You Freedom Walk will have the following restrictions: Only pre-registered participants may walk the route. A four-foot-tall security fence along the route will prevent non-registrants from joining the walk. The press will be limited to three “pens” along the route, no more. Of course, the Department …
shoulder: no more sling!
Went to see the orthopedist yesterday afternoon for my two-week (really three-and-change-week) follow-up appointment. He looked at my MRI scans and was dumbfounded: my ligaments are completely intact, my cartliage fine, my muscles fine, and my bones merely bruised. Given that I had a posterior dislocation (arm was pushed out of socket, versus the more …
michael and the giant crock of manure
I remember when everybody (myself included, at the time) was lambasting President Clinton in 1993, saying that his cabinet and their staff were too green, too inexperienced. And they admitted as much, grew into their positions, and eventually proved to be very, very effective. Today, the Washington Post reveals the truth that most of BushCo’s …
