He's such a cool hippie, him and his astral goat, Herbie. If you can't find a reference, I'll send you a sample (the character was voiced by Peter Fonda, I think). It will be karma, man.

Tommy, chill man! In case any of you gentle people out there are worried about that last tirade, not to. My a** is still firmly planted in this week, this moment in time actually. In the confusion of moving his office, it's obvious Tom's misplaced his meds again. He just talks like that to compensate for being so short of stature (and, perhaps, other areas). Om... Om... Tom seek your center... Om... Close your eyes... imagine your on a beach... feel the breeze caress your not yet sunburned skin... hear the waves gently lap the sandy shore... Relax... be at peace with the world... He's better now. Everyone get a good night's sleep. Peace. Whoa!!! Tommy, chill man!

I'm back, by Jesus, full of piss & vinegar and ready for the next fight. And let there be no mistake about it, I have my own series of photos, audio recordings and DVD's, enough to make those mush and milk Republicans get in line, bend over, and beg for Bug Boy's size 12 D genuine Texas cowhide boot to be kicked straight up their collective butts. While those Beltway Bozo's are wringing their hands and soaking their shorts about Bill Bennett's moment of truth and reckoning, I'm making the rounds, reminding all the pantywaists just who has who by the short hairs. All this indictment crap has accomplished, is to make me good and mad. And, if I can put a trace on the IPS (and I can), I'm going to find that "cooper" and kick his ass into next week! And the rest of you liberal butt wipes - Piss Off!!!

(The other MEP is a bird-eating spider, but I'm not having much luck convincing Fran that a 7-inch spider would be a fun companion. Considering that I'm normally shitscared of spiders, you'd think this would be a piece of cake. You'd think.)

I've always been fascinated by cephalopods, octopus are so charming. What a wonderful change from all the mess in Washington. In defense of all those remarks about "Democrats going after" Mr. Delay: <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2005/09/28/truth-ronnie-earle/" rel="nofollow">Ronnie Earle</a> has been described as "the last Democrat in Texas". What he really is, is a man who hates abusers of power, regardless of party. In his 27 years in office, he's gone after 15 elected officials for this, 12 of which were Democrats. Hardly the record of a Republican hunter. Nigel, I adore the story of the baby octopuses (is that the plural? octopi?) in the Anchorage Sealife Center.

So the FEC is a politically biased witch hunting organisation too? Seems like anyone who even thinks about the possibility of allowing the thought (of questioning any Republican about anything) to cross their mind is a political witch hunter. Funny, that. Similar in so many ways to the Nazi party. Or Azerbaijan's president. Or Burma's military junta. Or Kim Jong Il. Or anti-Iraq war protesters. Or... wow, I see a pattern emerging here. Maybe I should write a book about it. I think I'll call it "Smoke And Mirrors". Oops - I forgot to take my cynicism medication. Hmm. So the FEC is a politically biased witch hunting organisation too?
