yup

Just as I said last week, it looks like the idea of a third party in politics is catching on. A poll reported by CNN said 45% of Americans would like to see a third party created. All we need now is the right candidate and we can do it, people!! Any suggestions?

gas attack

I just love that our Congresspeople of both parties are tripping over themselves to fix the gas gouging situation. Too little too late. But the truth is that the oilmen in the Administration got way too greedy. Let's remember this is in November please.

who?

The unfortunate incident of the protester actually getting into the press group at the White House makes one wonder about security doesn't it? President Hu of China and our Prez could have been in danger it seems. Or do conspiracy theorists have it right that it was "allowed?" I honestly don't know the answer.

third party

This week's New York Magazine had articles about the possibility of a third political party. Though Ross Perot was the wrong messenger he did well, the point being that many people would support the right one. I, unfortunately, cannot think of anyone who would fit the bill however. Let's hope he/she emerges...and soon!

fool me once...etc.

Tonight on the news it said that Michael Brown ex FEMA fuckup is being considered to be a "consultant" to a Parish in Louisiana which had been destroyed in Katrina. He would be working on reconstruction. People....!!!!!

old news is good news

Today I discovered a wonderful way to stop being depressed after reading the newspaper. Lately the news is so awful that I sometimes don't read the paper in the morning...lest it ruin my day. I do read it at night as I am a bit of a political junkie. But the other day I put the paper away and found it two days later. I couldn't throw it away in case I'd miss something of value, but somehow it didn't have the impact it would have on the day "of." Now so much else has happened that the old bad news seems almost...well if not good news, at least able to be handled. Wierd, huh? Try it and tell me if you agree.

we all feel so safe

Today, a Deputy Director of Homeland Security was arrested for soliciting sex from a fourteen year old girl he "met" on the Internet. When others heard about it, they were quoted as saying he was "such a nice guy" and a "devoted Uncle." I'll bet! He used a photo of himself with his badge as a "way to impress the girl." Right...no adult would be impressed with that as a credential. Yuck.

swell!

No one wants to run FEMA! They cannot find anyone willing to take the job and the reasons they all gave were that the Administration is not "serious" or committed to making it work! The poor guy, like in musical chairs,who was last heading it temporarily is going to be stuck. That bodes well doesn't it? As I said after Katrina...we're on our own folks!Swell!
