Do Me A Favor?

In case you haven't heard, I'm heading to Washington D.C. during the Inauguration in January. I've put in a request to my congressman for a ticket, but I thought I'd hedge a few bets and get all you readers of mine to put your own requests in, and should you be lucky enough to receive tickets...well, maybe you'd give me one.

I'd be ever so grateful.

That Explains It All

This is the headline I just saw on CNN, "Cheney having surgery to replace battery."

Huh?

I keep hearing from many Republicans that government can't do anything right. Then why do they want to be a part of it?

Do you really want to entrust the power of government to people that think that it can't do anything right?

President Cheney

It feels bad to think about, but deep down I feel this is how it's been from the start.

I just wonder if he'll give the power up since Cheney's decided that he's a new branch of government all himself.

I Can't Believe It's Real

It reads like a bit on The Daily Show, but it really happened.

I don't think they could have written it better.

From your new White House Press Room.

Q What, do you think I'm going to ask a question?

THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I did think you were going to ask me a question, yes. (Laughter.)

Q I am. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: Well, maybe some other time.

Q Oh, but do you think you open --

THE PRESIDENT: See what I'm saying? (Laughter.)

Q You can't come to the press room, especially a modern press room --

THE PRESIDENT: Wait a minute, let's do this -- let me cut the ribbon, and --

Q You think anything has changed?

THE PRESIDENT: Let me cut the ribbon -- are you going to cut it with me, Steve -- and then why don't you all yell simultaneously? (Laughter.) Like, really loudly. (Laughter.) And that way you might get noticed.

Q It doesn't sound like you're going to answer --

THE PRESIDENT: No, I will. I'll, like, listen --

Q And leave?

THE PRESIDENT: -- internalize, play like I'm going to answer the question, and then smile at you and just say, gosh -- (laughter) -- thanks, thanks for such a solid, sound question.

Here we go, ready? I'm going to cut the ribbon. (Laughter.) Then you yell. I cogitate -- and then smile and wave. (Laughter.)

Are you going to come, Laura? Here we go.

(The President and Mrs. Bush cut the ribbon.) (Applause.)

Q -- (inaudible) --

THE PRESIDENT: Brilliant question.

Q -- (inaudible) -- cogitating that, right?

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. See you soon.

Q We look forward to seeing you come and do a little --

THE PRESIDENT: I will see you soon, thank you.

Q Y'all come back. (Laughter.)

Surprise!

Bush commuted Scooter's sentence. What a shocker. I was figuring on a full pardon.

Best Line

I saw SiCKO tonight. Best line in my opinion was from the Englishman that describe how and why they went to the system they have. Something to the effect of , "If you can have the money to kill people (in regard to waging war) you can have the money to help people." If you think about all the money going into that missile defense shield (I think they're still building it right?) you certainly have a good start for health care.

Taking Bets Now

Just when is (notice I don't say if) Scooter Libby's presidential pardon going to happen?

My bet is the last day of Bush's term. Your thoughts?

About 40 minutes long if you watch both clips.

I spent most of my evening watching clips from this page.

Trials Are Good

Bush is saying that Saddam had a fair trial. And that is good thing. Anyone want to guess as to why we're not giving trials to all those people in Guantanamo? And I prefer trials without secret evidence and not restricting counsel's access to the accused.

I thought fair trials were important for justice.

As always, Glenn Greenwald says it better.

Truth?

So a week before the election W had a press conference and pretty much said that Rumy would have his job for the next 2 years.

Then the day after the election Rumy gets the axe and W says that no matter which way the election went Gates was getting the job.

I don't understand why the press isn't more upset about this. They asked a question, they got lied to. Why should they (or anyone for that matter) believe anything that comes out of this administration?

From Colbert

In reference to the Democrats winning so many seats. "Woo hoo! The people have spoken. And apparently they're tired of freedom. Don't get me wrong I'm not angry I'm just disappointed. I thought this country would last longer than 230 years."

He also had a cake congratulating the terrorists on their victory. Funny stuff.

What a fun holiday...celebrating someone's thwarted plan to blow up parliament and their eventual torture and death.

What I Heard Tuesday

I forgot to mention this.

A work Doug likes to listen to the KFI radio stream. Personally I can't stand it. Sometimes it's interesting to heard the crazy stuff they get so angry at, but mostly it just irritates me.

Anyway, this was the day of John Kerry's speech blunder. And Rush Limbaugh spent a lot of time on that. He also kept going back to the Michael J. Fox thing going on as well. On how there were focus groups being polled to see who had the more favorable rating. Fox or Limbaugh. Rush seemed amused that people would spend so much time on people that were even on the ballot. And this is the same show that he's going on and on about the Kerry speech. And you know who also isn't on the ballot? That's right, John Kerry.

And of course, when Dr. Laura came on she started off by saying she would spend a tiny micro (might have been nano) second on the Kerry speech. That tiny second went on for about 5 minutes.

Good old Krazy KFI AM radio. Go ask Ms. Dewey what she thinks of KFI.
