My dad's in town for a visit, so last night we decided to go out to a show. We got tickets to see "W! The Musical", produced by Triangle Productions and playing at Theater! Theatre! on SE Belmont.

It's the funniest damned thing I've seen in a long time. Read More

I've said before that I didn't think Case had anything to worry about in his race against wingnut extraordinaire Mike Gabbard, but it's nice to have some polling to back it up.

According to a poll conducted by the Honolulu Star-Bulletin (MoE 4.67%), Case leads Gabbard 67-18 in a race that's got some interesting tidbits under the surface. Read More

OK, that's not the official number (couldn't find an official one yet), but it's the number that Kerry said in his speech - 50 to 60 thousand people in the Bowl at Waterfront Park.

Update [2004-8-13 21:49:8 by cyclopatra]: OK, now it's official: according to bassjhs, Portland Fire & Rescue has estimated the crowd at 50K.

Got really mad while I was reading this piece by AP staff writer Ron Fournier. It seems like his name turns up on the byline of almost every misleading or slanted AP article I read.

The gist of the article is that AP ran a poll wherein they called voters, asked them their opinion of Bush, told them that 1.2M jobs had been created in the last six months, and then asked, "How do you feel about Bush now?". In other words, push-polling. Misleading push-polling at that, since the jobs factoid ignores the fact that Bush is still 1 million jobs behind where we were the day he took office, and more than six million behind what we would have needed just to keep up with population growth.

According to CNN (tv, no link, sorry). He says it has nothing to do with Tenet's resignation, that it's something he's been planning to do for a long time. Hands up, all those who believe him.

Now, to avoid the one-liner diary rule (and because it was the first thing that came to mind when I heard this), I leave you with these ever-more-apt words from Yeats:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer
Things fall apart, the center cannot hold...

I found this poem on Snopes, of all places; they fact-checked the quotes. Now I'm bringing it to you, my fellow Kossacks, to liven up everyone's Saturday night a little. And to remind you all that we're doing this to get some IQ back in the White House next year. Read More

I'm not usually a huge fan of Nancy Pelosi, but this little tidbit made me cheer for her:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says it's baffling and embarrassing that President Bush is appearing before the Sept. 11 commission with Vice President Dick Cheney at his side instead of by himself.

and then she nails it:
