Congress has its first Muslim member, and the freepers are freaking out.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I heard a little of the press conference in the car on my way home from lunch, and Bush was asked about the fact that last week, he said Rumsfeld would be around until Bush left the White House.
Bush basically said, "Oh, I wasn't going to make that announcement until after the election, so I had to lie to the reporters, obviously."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh man, the craxy variations on craxy, from Kathy's link:
--As I said on a previous thread...I feels as if I am watching 9-11 again on my TV. Watching America be attacked from within and I am helpless watching. America...what have you done?
Yeah, welcome to my world, dittohead. I've been feeling this way since the impeachment.
I think I may just be optimistic enough to change my tagline soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congress has its first Muslim member, and the freepers are freaking out.
Oh my god, they're so crazy. If nothing else, seriously, when was the last time a first-term member of congress had any power to do ANYTHING?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Supposedly Bush is gong to be moving towards the center.
Yeah, right... except he just said that he'd sign the minimum wage bill.
How 'bout that?

Our wings are not tired.
I was in the car on my way to lunch when NPR made the announcement. Then watched some of the press conference while I gobbled my sandwich.
blah blah blah wasn't going to annouce Rumsfeld thing before election and look political blah blah blah really looking forward to doing great things the next 2 years with the new leadership blah blah blah don't worry Iraq we still will stay the course blah blah blah
Really, I hope that the dude totally works with the new congress to repair the damage done the last 6 years. I hope he retires with a legacy of non-partisan cooperation.
I'd also be delighted if they impeached his ass.
I'm just in such good humor today. It seems like 50 years ago that I was crying on my couch the morning after. I've waited so long for this day.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Mom just called me at work to let me know Rumsfield stepped down, she wanted to make sure I knew as soon as possible. I love my Mom.
Mr. Jane did this too. I love him.
I think my desire to say "IN YOUR FACE!!!" comes from living in Texas where for the past 4 years I've been a terrorist loving, heathen freak. So yeah, I do at least want to cock an eyebrow at them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bob is watching the press conference from home and emailing me about it. He writes, in part:
(Another Daily Show moment: Bush asked, "Do you think I'm crazy? Do you think I've lost all of my sensibilitiies as a result of my hard work on this campaign?" He then LAUGHED LIKE A MANIAC and answered (himself), "maybe.")
