I don't know where this will go, but.

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you -- Karl Rove is under Federal investigation. For as rich as you are, it's much better by far to have Karl Rove under Federal investigation.

As a sidenote, my brother had lunch with Rove a few weeks ago (don't ask) and said that he was so ugly that he was hard to look at.

Have a Nice Day

Happy April 20th, friends -- the most special day of the year. Here in NY it is finally nice out, and I am planning a lunch outdoors. God likes 4/20!

Here's a fun little article for you to enjoy. Gonzales-bashing is fun! It almost (but not quite) makes me feel bad for the asshole. But man, we need to take him down fast and get on to the rest of the lot. We're wasting too much time.

The College Dropout

According to AP, Maryland today approved a plan to give its electoral votes for president to the winner of the national popular vote instead of the candidate chosen by state voters. The plan would only take effect if states representing a majority of the nation's 538 electoral votes decided to make the same change.

Personally, ever since the 2000 election I've been griping about the Electoral College and its back-asswardness, even though the electoral college might well have come to the same decision if not for "alleged" vote-stealing and other despicable activities, but we'll never know for sure, because Congress and the Supreme Court-- okay, I can't continue down this path until I've perfected my time machine. I need to break to watch the Boxer-Inhofe video one more time and get re-centered.

...

The point is, even though it could come back to bite us in the ass if the popular vote goes Republican, we view this as an advance. The rest of the world is, naturally, mystified by our "democracy" wherein the winner of the popular vote does not win. This makes it possible for every vote to count, for candidates to travel around the country rather than focusing on those diva "battleground" states, for a truly national presidential campaign.

Go Terps!

Douchebaggery is all relative

I really, really hate it when people make me side with douchebags. But it happens regularly when they are out-douchebagged by their adversary. Case in point:


This video on YouTube

Geraldo, albeit a professional douchebag in his everyday life, really fights the good fight here. I like it when people scream at Bill just like he does except while making sense. Luckily, Geraldo was in-studio so Bill couldn't cut his mic like he usually does to unruly guests.

Billo is just unbelievable-- even after having had his ass verbally handed to him by Letterman several times, and his douchebaggery repeatedly exposed by Media Matters and others, he just won't go away. God, I would pay money to punch him in the face. Big, big money.

The rage is back. I need to go search for some herbal/pharmaceutical treatments.

Gaaaahhhhhh!

This video, taken during Bush's "Congress needs to bring their lazy asses back from vacation, and get me a war spending bill, so that from my umpteenth vacation on the ranch in Texas, I can then VETO IT. What? That makes perfect sense." press conference, has been making the rounds on the interwebs, but we thought it deserved to be posted anew.

WHAT IS HE DOING over there?!
Kudos to the observant cameraperson who captured the very definition of "lurking."
