Fresh Thread

Adam, there had better not be any Harry Potter spoilers thrown in! (Real ones, anyway - I’m all for littering the airways with fake spoilers to crowd out the real ones.) Or I’ll have to read that damned book extra-fast. The show airs at 11:00 Saturday morning locally!

Umm … doesn’t everything we’ve done in Iraq for the last several years qualify?

Cheney’s gonna be President for a few hours this weekend! Can we impeach him? PLEASE?

When posterity looks back at this time - if there is a posterity to look back at this time - their contempt will not be reserved solely for the likes of Bush, Cheney, and their ilk, or even their supprters. They will have a great deal of contempt for US, the New Silent Generation, who let these people hijack our democracy, destroy our liberty, and sodomize our nation.

Yeah, Harold, I just heard that on NPR. Let’s all pray that the doctors attending this procedure stay out of the nitrous oxide tonight. W has to survive, the consequences are too bleak and dire to fathom.

I had a colonoscopy recently, and I was awake for the whole thing and watched the whole show on a flat screen TV. I thought it was very interesting, probably because I was pretty looped up on some very good drugs. Nobody said anything about making Cheney the head of household while I was watching that roller coaster ride.
And Harold (and all) I have to say, as cynical as I sometimes feel about the electoral process, it does work. We can make a difference one person at a time. I really do believe that. I’ll go back to humming in the field of lillies now.

I’m having my first colonoscopy in a couple of weeks. Talk about a Rite of Passage. And since I’m going to be on the table fast asleep, they’re going to poke around from the other end, too. I know, I know…Too Much Information. But that’s exactly what I screamed at the radio this afternoon when I heard the news about Bush’s latest medical adventure.

I think the next time he “chokes on a pretzel,” he should have to go to the nearest DC emergency room.

I was just reading about the latest Executive Order today, too. Great. My next letter to the editor could lose me my house, my car, my job, everything. And probably get me disappeared, too. Or maybe it will be because of the letters I sent to half a dozen Senators and Congressmen over the past few days, calling for impeachment hearings to begin.

From Common Dreams:

“But administration officials argued yesterday that Congress has no power to force a U.S. attorney to pursue contempt charges in cases, such as the prosecutor firings, in which the president has declared that testimony or documents are protected from release by executive privilege. Officials pointed to a Justice Department legal opinion during the Reagan administration, which made the same argument in a case that was never resolved by the courts.”

“A U.S. attorney would not be permitted to bring contempt charges or convene a grand jury in an executive privilege case,” said a senior official, who said his remarks reflect a consensus within the administration. “And a U.S. attorney wouldn’t be permitted to argue against the reasoned legal opinion that the Justice Department provided. No one should expect that to happen.”

Now can we start impeachment hearings??

As I recall my prep for my colonoscopy last February, I can only imagine what W is going through tonight. He may need a double dose of the phospho-soda, given how full of it he is.

And Katie be damned, I had the anesthetic. I never pass up an opportunity to enjoy heavy drugs legally.

Okay, I admit it. I was desperate fa’ cash and in a weak moment, I agreed to become Tom DeLay’s leg-breaka. Guido is my cousin an’ he saved my life once, so I owe him. He’s been workin’ for Tom DeLay for 3 years now an’ Tom’s been gettin’ a lot of hate mail lately. Plus, Guido needed extra help protectin’ him after da’ incident wid da’ widow in dat mens room at IHOP. Tom violated our contract by divulging my true identity, but then again, he ain’t nuttin’ but money-grubbin’ criminal. Of course, we knew dat already.

I hope dis doesn’t cancel our day at da’ beach, Adam. I can almost feel dat cool ocean breeze blowin’ across my body.

The administration that will go down in infamy gets just one day of posteriority tomorrow. Let’s hope Cheney uses it well.

(Football? Anybody seen the football?)

Adam! Adam! Adam! All eight on the Lightning Fill in the Blank.

And the Fitzgerald segment was more than worth rearranging my day for. Seriously envious of the folks who go to be at the taping. Loved Patrick’s reason for being on the show.

Fitzgerald/Felber ‘08

David, Adam was in front of 11,240 sets of eyeballs and his lot in life is to entertain the buggers. Plus, Roxanne had just answered 7 out of eight, so the gauntlet had been smartly thrown down.

BTW, those of you who may have missed it yesterday on NPR; for Patrick Fitzgerald’s appearance on the show, he was rewarded with a scooter engraved with the words “Here’s one scooter that will stay where you put it.” - or words to that effect.

Dear Diary,

I seem to be adjusting to the meds much better these days. Those mood swings were kicking my butt, that’s for sure. Mildred had taken to keeping her pepper spray canister tucked under her belt for easy access, if needed. Fortunately, it never came to that and everything seems to be functioning well in the office again.

Those wildfires out west are amazing and terrifying at the same time. Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah are alight, as the Brits say. NASA & JPL have been e-mailing me pictures of the fires taken from the Space Station as it passed over. Those pictures are astounding in their clarity and detail. If NASA can do this, I bet the CIA satellites can look down a woman’s blouse while she’s sitting on a park bench and read the laundering instructions on the care label. My PR friend at Langley says they think they could actually do that, but the tits are always in the way. He assures me that they’ll keep trying.

Well, Fran Townsend seems to be the next White House employee they’ll be throwing under the bus. I’d never even heard of her before last week. Standard operational procedure is for them to shove these people out in front of the cameras and have them lie and lie and lie, until they have absolutely no pride or credibility left. Then they cut these poor schmucks loose and start again doing the same thing with the next fresh face. Fran seems to be a smart enough person; doesn’t she see this coming? Or has Cheney and company worked out a golden parachute for these people at places like Halliburton where, if you take a bullet for the White House, you get a nice cushy and over-compensated job for the rest of your career?

Patricia, Heather and Jeff are in Boise this weekend, visiting with family. I wanted them out of DC, just in case Cheney started WWIII while W was under sedation. The rumor is that Josh Bolton led Cheney down to his undisclosed bunker under the ruse of borrowing the latest NIE. Once Dick was inside, Josh pulled the door shut and had the Marine guards lock the door from the outside, while Josh ran up three flights of stairs to ground level and cut the phone lines to the bunker. Dick was pretty steamed, once Bush was awake, and they let him out of the bunker. That man can hold a grudge. If I were Josh, I would not drink liquor and then go quail hunting with the VP - ever.

It’s hotter than forty Hells in this stinking town. I’ve got to come up with a reason for being out of Washington until at least October. Maybe I’ll fly out to Idaho myself and observe the firefighting first hand. Yeah, that would work. We do strive to give the taxpayers (the sorry, pathetic morons) their money’s worth when it comes to public service. It’s my swore duty to do just that. I’ll have Mildred book me a flight tomorrow morning. It will be good to be back home for a change.

Dirk

Criminals and Rudy,
They go together like Punch and Judy,
The sparring ’tis all for show
Now don’t ‘cha know.

goood!!!

Bye
