Yesterday, I saw a kid who was wearing a Copenhagen 09 T-Shirt just toss an empty soda bottle into the street. I think the youth who think they know the what message is, are totally missing it.

I wanted to run him over with my car, but showed restraint..and just shouted "Fucking litterbug" as I drove by.

I hate Christmas, it's such a joke that people give gifts to other people "close to them", who they love..

I guess I will stick with the fucked up WMP. Fuck, I hate software providers, always adding shit to their players so they can make a buck..

I wish we here in the US could just get a look at our representative's reimbursed expenses.

Tom Coburn Is An Ass

Following Mitch McConnell's directions; today Tommy Boy had an amendment for a single payer system (that would have admittedly failed) read out loud on the Senate floor. After a bit more than three hours, the amendment was withdrawn. It was introduced to prove a point that the idea was not dead and to check who would vote for it, no biggie, it would have taken 15 minutes.

When asked why he did it, Tom shrugged and said he wanted to hear what a single payer system would be. If it's true that this amedment was not available to review before the vote, I would have done the same thing...but I can't figure out when it was introduced. the senate.gov web site is a bitch to navigate!

Joe Flabberpow Ruins Health Care

Joe Lieberman took it upon himself today, to make sure he ruined the Senate Health Care bill. Thanks Joe! I might just register to vote in Connecticut, just so I can vote against him next time. He has to realise that the DNC, and their party, will never support him again?

Below is Joe's little house in New Haven CT. Someone is giving him a lot of money, he couldn't afford this on a Senator's pay...


When asked, he said that the Insurance Companies had no influence over his choice, but couldn't give a valid reason why he doesn't want a public option. Um, fuck you Joe, go get a red tie.

I Am Digging Headlights

Don't Raise The National Debt Ceiling

So says John Bo[eh]ner. Well, he voted to raise it six times under George Bush, what up dude??

John is playing a game (like golf), he wants to enforce a 2/3 requirement on votes for raising the debt limit, which is fine by me. They also want to make these increases stand alone bills, not riders on other bills (look what Bush did for the past 8 years).

Um, it is sad that the Republicans admit they are too late to actually get this introduced or passed at this time (not thinking ahead, again), but I am sure it will be an excellent talking point in the next round of elections.

Oh, here is John's little house!
It's really nice and this shot gives you a better view of the sweet golf course it bumps up against..
