“David Satterfield, the State Department’s senior adviser on Iraq, told a Senate panel Thursday that the increased security afforded by extra troops will make it easier to oversee rebuilding efforts in Iraq.”

It was insteresting was that he talked about conservation several times; ironic, in light of the work he did to actively undermine environmental protections. (One of those “I got mine” types, I guess.)

I kept wondering if it’s a case of his conscience finally getting to him - realizing he has helped cause the train wreck going on in our country - or if he’s just so proud of what he’s done that he can’t bear to be behind the scenes anymore. Maybe he sees the tide turning and is using this as a public floating of resume in hopes that someone on the progressive side will hire him to fling slime back on his former masters.

Steve, go back in the Fresh Air archives a week or so for a long-form interview with that spinslut guy. I could only listen to him for a minute or two at a time before I had to change the channel. One part I heard involved the use of the term “g*m*ng” rather than “g*mbl*ng.” He pointed out that the use of the term “g*m*ng” to refer to the complete package of experiences offered by places like Las Vegas - the hotels, the reastaurants, the shows, the rides, and, yes, even the g*mes of ch*nce played in the c*sin*s - yes, this term “g*m*ng” has become so accepted and so embraced and so mainstream that it is even being applied to things outside the traditional “g*m*ng” experience. Why, he pointed out, the term has become so popular that now the kids (those crazy kids) have begun to even refer to the act of playing video games as “g*m*ng” So, you see, “g*m*ng” is good!

If I didn’t like listening to the radio on my way to and from work, I would have ripped it out of my car and thrown it out the window at that moment.

“Kahunas”, while often described as “big” are not usually associated with testicular “fortitude”.

Personally, I watched some old “Good Eats” episodes I’d taped but had not seen yet.

Yesterday afternoon on NPR’s All Things Considered there was a segment on “Bush’s Words: Do They Work” with Frank Luntz, a Republican pollster. I was greatly amused by one of his comments, which you can hear here in which he slyly derided the Left and many Independents who will not watch or listen to the speech because they do not want to hear what the President has to say.

To which I can only respond, “No s***, Sherlock! I know I’m going to be lied to. It’s only the exact form and extent of the lies that is at all in doubt. I have better things to do with my time, like rearrange the contents of my silverware drawer in alphabetical order.”

For the record, I should point out that the last SotU I listened to was probably delivered by Jimmy Carter.

“Bush, he is not a moron..no he’s not a MORON, I repeat HE’S NOT A MORON. Did I say MORON?”

At least he had the kahunas to say so, unlike the Bush-lite sycophant who is in charge now.

With good folk like you all out there, im thinking to leave my little mosque on the prarie, cross over with new passport in tow a come a drinkin. Cheers!
