Three disturbing facts from this week's news cycle: Larry Craig likes to take a "wide stance" when, depending on whose version you believe, either doing his business or looking to get busy; Katrina fall guy Michael Brown now works in the private sector as a disaster response advisor (Best advice: "Don't do what I did!"); and the Government Accountability Office has so little faith in the honesty of the Bush administration, it felt the need to leak its negative assessment of progress in Iraq to prevent it from being watered down by the White House. In my mind, these stories have all blended together, with President Bush calling a news conference to announce: "Heck of a blow job, Craigie."

Let’s shut out all the babble
While we play a game of scrabble,
And look for a word with seven letters.
That will rid us of our woes
And bring home our GI Joes,
And let us live in peace without those fetters.
The streets of Iraq are flowing in sewage, guts and blood,
And the president they elected is nothing but a dud,
While “W” keeps sending troops to win a war?
While we sit here on our asses,
In huddled, frightened masses,
And wish we had all voted for Al Gore.
North Korea is getting nasty, they got a nuke at last,
Then said, “Don’t try to stop us, or that’ll be a “Blast”.
And the “Bushies” said, “That’s not Our woe.”
While our treasury’s depleted,
Nothing’s been completed,
As Uncle Sam runs slowly out of dough.
So let’s get back to the board
For that seven letter word,
And, by George, I’ve really got a peach.
It’ll solve a lot of troubles,
And pop a lot of bubbles.
I think that I can finally spell…

Here's what I said about Harry Shearer's post of 8/31, which for some reason didn't get posted about the Larry Craig "sincident
Well, give Senator Craig credit for one thing. I mean, when was the last time you heard anybody mention “Idaho”?
The media, for whom sex scandal is like sow’s milk to piglets, are going hogwild over the allegation
EVEN THO 4 OR 5 CONGRESSME

THESE SHORT-VISI
IF AFTER 5 YEARS 160,000 TROOPS CANNOT MAINTAIN PEACE EVEN THO WE INCREASED NUMBERS SINCE JANUARY---
However, the most disturbing news this week in my estimation is that we are about to massively attack Iran.
Why aren't you SCREAMING for the U.S. to DO NOT ATTACK IRAN, Dear Lady?
All else pales besides this, does it not?
To have had to endure that terrible day as observers as most of us did is nothing compared to what the people onboard those planes and inside the buildings targeted had to endure.
I wonder how many of those people voted for bush. I wonder how they'd feel if they knew he'd use their tragic deaths as an excuse to go on a killing rampage in Iraq.
He has no moral integrity. There are no depths to which this fool won't stoop. And the republican
And by the way...anyo
