You may have heard.
Some other quick observations concerning the inauguration. You may have noticed these as well.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court flubbed the Oath of Office. The new President tried to correct him. Didn’t work out so well.
The new Vice President’s middle name is Robinette.
Every speaker I saw invoked God at some [...]
Oh dear God this man is full of shit.
Now that the whole nominee thing is effectively squared away, we find good old Johnny McCain stumbling toward senility at every possible turn.
Saturday evening, the presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee declared, “I’ll admit to you that it’s tough, it’s tough in some respects.”
What’s tough, you ask? Senator McCain stuttered the above in response to the question, [...]
I took the day off work in preparation for the vacation the Sims family leaves on tomorrow morning (laundry, etc.).
Well I did something this morning that isn’t really something I’d usually do, and that would be to turn on Joe Scarborough’s morning show on MSNBC. Well Joe’s absent today, with a man and woman [...]
. . . it looks like we have a Democratic Presidential Nominee.
I haven’t been exactly open here as to who I’ve supported, but after Dennis Kucinich gave up the fight, I shifted my support and attention to Barack Obama. He wasn’t the most typically progressive candidate left in the race (that was John Edwards, whose [...]
Driving back from Target today (I bought a super-hippie-style soy wax Eucalyptus/Patchouli candle), I popped in Mike Doughty’s newest record Golden Delicious, which, incidentally, I can bring myself neither to love nor to completely write off.
And one of the main reasons I can’t write it off is the album’s opening track, Fort Hood, a tear-jerking [...]
Five years at 365 days/year+5 days+1 Leap Day=1831 days of War.
In those 1831 days, 4000 U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq.
A little division:
4000 killed/1826 days=2.1845 U.S. Soldiers killed, on average, every single day.
So there’s that. Something to think about.
Five years in Iraq.
I started with a massive bitch session right here. Then I deleted it. And now I’m at a loss for what to say. I opened the Huffington Post home page yesterday afternoon and read that big, red text that says:
3,990 US Troops Killed… 29,395 Wounded… 2,100 Have Tried To Commit Suicide… 88% [...]
First, the happiest Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to all of you. Remember to take a few moments and realize the most incredible impact Dr. King had on our society. May his truly amazing work continue to improve us all and our nation, moving us to the liberty and justice for all we have sadly [...]
Yes, ladies. You.
Should Mike Huckabee be elected President, look me up. Not only am I a soon-to-be degreed single male of shorter-than-average height, with thicker-than-average eyebrows, who possesses at least moderate artistic ability in the arenas of songwriting and photography, but I’ll be the best man to whom you’ll ever “graciously submit.”
Vote.
Vote.
Make your friends vote, [...]
