...in other words, it encourages conservation

" You'd be amazed to see what it's like in Vietnam."
How in hell is this guy President ? delusional and determinedly so. What kind of pills might he be taking? Does he really go to bed early every night? Do you think he's a napper? I wonder if he plays Texas Hold'em on his computer. I'll bet he has a kick-ass computer. I know he likes to ride his bike. Do you think he smokes weed? never?

Here in silence, are 15 more.

"I'm listening to our commanders, we're looking at all options. Whatever we do it'll help the Iraqis step up. We're gonna marginalize the evildoers. We must make sure that our military has the capability to stay in the fight for a long period of time. I am willing to follow a path that leads to victory. It's the right strategy for America to stay engaged. The first question I always ask here in Washington is how do we continue to make the, to grow the economy. nucular"

We got a comprehensive and robust plan to achieve the objective, and that is to make the country less dependent on foreign energy. Iran is out of step with the majority of thinkers. We've made it clear to them. I don't recall ordering an investigation. I do remember experiencing some , uh, angst. To be successful going forward we will need to analyze the things that went wrong. ...and we're making good progress against the Sadaamists, and some of 'em are Al quaeda. It's a hard fight, it's hard work. It's a multi-faceted plan and of course were lookin' for things that went wrong.

do the stuff you need to do to do the stuff you want to do

I'll lose my stagefright just in time for throat cancer.
Maybe I'll just have me a heart attack at the McDonalds drive thru.
There's a pain in my brain. Will it hemhorage?
I could get hammered and choke on some puke.
I could get trampled by students from Duke.
I could get scurvy and rickets and rabies.
I could get typhoid and bird flu and scabies.

...but, I gotta go to work tomorrow.

What's News ?

I checked my local paper today for any mention of yesterday's Kucinich/Paul sponsored Congressional briefing on the Lancet study. mmm nuthin'
The Lancet study tries to determine how many PEOPLE have been killed since WE invaded Iraq.
Later in the day, I bought a New York Times. They had a Kucinich to run in '08-he's a vegan story, but no yesterday's briefing stuff.

This evening I turned on the godamned TV and flipped through the "news" channels to find nothing but douchebags and bullshit.

How many thousands of bombs ?
Are the bulletts in the millions?
Do they have water yet?
Do they have sewer systems?
Does the garbageman come around once a week?
Who is in charge of this sick insanity?

MSNBC's Scarborough was doing American Idol news and Hollywood gossip.
Larry King had a Laci Peterson update.
Glenn Beck sure sucks.
Hannity and colmes featured some of that four-guys-talking-at-once poopla. You decide.

The Lancet thing was on C-SPAN. Toward the end of the breifing, Kucinich opened the floor for questions from the press. The camera turned to the audience of empty chairs, a few kids, and one reporter with a question.
