Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And you know really, I don't want indictments, I don't want hearings, I don't want an impeachment. I just want my habeus corpus back.

I'm afraid my vengance is up. I want half of Halliburton indicted, Cheney resigning in disgrace, Rumsfield out on his ass... I want Bush and his administration so hamstrung for the next two years that Bill Clinton gets up every morning, turns on C-Span, and chuckles "paybacks a bitch, chimp boy"

Oh! And a rousing chorus of "Howard Dean was right on the 50 state plan -- lets elect him President"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Pelosi has pretty much committed to no impeachment proceedings, so I wouldn't hold my breath for those. However, everything else is out there, so I really hope that some of those new committee chairs get cracking on some relevant hearings come January.

Ballot issues are a bitch to track down info about, especially if you're looking for as official as possible results. I still have five that I think are too close to call (2 in MO, 2 in CO, and 1 in AL), even though the local papers have called all but the AL one. Took me 3 1/2 hours to finish.

Now for lunch!

I have no link right now, but the CNN newsdesk just reported that coming over the AP wire right now:

I'm really surprised by that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

RUMMY GONE!

PROBABLY X-POSTY!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Secretary of Defesnse Rumsfeld is STEPPING DOWN.

Huh. Bush said he was gonna make a major announcement, but he always says that....

Also, YAY!

What is even happening?

More like our batshit insanos are not part of a mainstream organized political movement.

My comment was just meant as a joke. Regardless, I'm glad it inspired your above response. You're like the Buffista homage to Will Rogers.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I listened to Franken for a short time. Unfortunately, he devoted too much time to, "Let's go to the tape of the latest right-wing commentator" for my blood pressure.

(ETA: Oh, my.)
