With the nomination of Miers to the Supreme Court, and the foreseeable concern over her stand on abortion -- why is Miers not asked about her life experience with the issue and not whether she supports or opposes. For instance, we all know she will not answer a question like: 'do you support abortion rights'. But if asked a more peripheral question, not only would we likely learn more about whether she supports or opposes, but we'd also likely learn the depth of her understanding of the issue. Read More

Last time I was 'here', I wrote that I would not be coming back. Well, I'm back to write a few more things.

I wrote that I was schizophrenic, and then admitted that I had a diagnosis of psychosis (not otherwise specified). I am not sure what my diagnosis is. My psychiatrist offered psychosis (NOS) as his best guess.

I also wrote a rude diary entry as my last diary (until now). I'd like to apologize since I learned a great deal here from many people. Thank you to Kos for being a good host, and thank you to everyone else who makes a contribution to this site.

Also, thank you to Kos for introducing me to such a cool font. I have used it often.

I have also switched 'Daily Kos' to 'Day I lie I must Knock Out' in a song to acknowledge some of what I have learned here. Thanks again!

According to ABC TV, Ronald Reagan has passed away. My grandmother died of Alzheimer's so I feel for his family, as I have for the 15 years or so he likely suffered from the disease.

Thank you for your service to our country.

You gotta be f%$*ing kidding me! w/poll

I haven't wandered over to Drudge Report for a while--unclean feeling sticks until a shower. But today I thought I'd give it a go. Plus, I'm gonna jump in the shower in a few minutes.

I spit the food right out of my mouth when I read this little headline:

Rice Says History Will Rank Bush With Roosevelt, Churchill...

It got worse.

I don't get cable, and only listened to the speech on NPR. So I ask, for those who get cable and are kind enough to offer comment--how is the speech being covered on the few cable networks who decided to air it?

Paul Gigot was on Now with Bill Moyers tonite, and Moyers opens with a question regarding Hastert's recent attacks on John McCain for suggesting that there has been no tax sacrifice during the Iraq War.

Paraphrasing:
Moyers: Do you think that Dennis Hastert forgot that John McCain spent five years as a POW on Hanoi?

Gigot: Yes, I think he forgot.

What?!

Is Gigot high?! McCain is visibly disabled. What do you mean he forgot? John McCain can't raise one of his arms. How do you forget that. It's what defines John McCain.

Nice! No substantive rebuttal of the issue--just more convenient memory loss, and belittling of veterans' sacrifices to sell your weak, debilitated policy.

A lot of people have been discussing who Kerry's VP pick should be, and I've heard a lot of voices calling for him to make his pick soon. If Kerry's pick is a good one, it should help his campaing immensely--and this is a good portion of the arguments I've heard calling for an early announcement. But I do not think that now is the right time for Kerry to announce a pick, and believe that waiting until June or July is the best course. The following are my reasons: Read More

I don't know about everyone else here, but April was a doozy of a month. And in the spirit of exorcising the horrible news of the month, and the BS feeling of frustration that accompanies it--I'd like to start the new month with a purge--all in the name of starting anew. Read More

Cheney's secrecy? w/poll

Arguments in the Energy Task Force secrecy case will commence Tuesday, April 27th before the SCOTUS. Assuming Scalia can judge this case fairly--without chimerical visions of clipping ducks from the sky and riding in Air Force Two with Cheney clouding his mind--the task force participants and documents have a chance of being released. If the task force is outed, it's already well assumed that the participants are environmetally-unfriendly oil and energy corporation reps. But, in light of recent revelations, from Bob Woodward's book, of the administration's relationship with Prince Bandar--is anyone willing to speculate, or has there already been speculation, that energy task force files might reveal the participation of foreign leaders or business men?

I'm a little grumpy this morning, please forgive me.

Condi and her chemical helmet she calls hair appeared on Faux News Sunday this morning. I'd like to paraphrase a couple moments that I found interesting.

One quick note: to all these people who praise Condi's speech, who are you kidding? Condi doesn't answer questions so much as drown and overwhelm the questions with a barrage of words. I went to see some slam poetry on Friday, Condi surely could compete for being able to spit as many words as possible at people with no discernible pauses or change in tone. Just the pure visceral, jocular movement as words come spilling forth. Read More

I don't know if any of you all are fans of David Rees' comic strips, but he's got a new page up about Bush's press conference.

It's precious.
