Quite the opposite. I just think you've signed on to some mistaken notions regarding global warming. Yes, I'm a well-off consumer, which I think makes me quite patriotic in the eyes of both Bushes. But critique the message. That can be useful if the critique is valid. And remember, while the younger Bush's outpost in Crawford is enviromentally quite responsible, he has championed the wrong messages and the wrong policies regarding global warming, and done it as the most powerful single figure (figurehead to some) in American public life. Meanwhile, thank you for your support of conservation and wildlife populations. We do have common ground. I do not consider you a mindless idiot, Mr. Waterfowler. Quite the opposite.

Dear Diary,

Jeffery told me about a video on the internets yesterday - “Brownback Girl” and both of us were dumbfounded and amazed after watching it. It’s nothing like Obama’s Girl. I thought the Brownback Girl was sufficiently pious, but grotesquely hermaphroditic. Jeffery said this was “bad mojo - bad, bad mojo” for the Brownback campaign. I don’t know what that means, but up until now Jeff was squarely in the Brownback campaign. Now, not so much.

It’s been a slow and baking hot weekend here in Idaho - but it’s a dry heat, as I quickly point out to all the tourists. I’m flying back to DC tomorrow where Karl will be performing a Texas mind meld on all the cabinet members -Cheney’s orders, an effort to “assure all the cannons are firmly secured and none will come loose and begin rolling wildly around on the deck after being lit”. The VP has a penchant for metaphors involving firearms and things exploding. The President, I’m sure, doesn’t have a clue what a metaphor is.

I was in Cheney’s office the other week and walked up to his man-sized safe that is kept locked at all times. After security beat me to the floor, I noticed a voice, much like Harriet Miers muffled and screaming for help. Maybe it was just the ringing in my ears from being mercilessly pummeled by the guards’ blackjacks. That must be it - not even Cheney would kidnap a former member of the White House staff just because she is likely to be brought before a congressional investigation on firing the federal prosecutors - would he? Maybe not, but these are indeed strange times.

Off to bed now, tomorrow’s a long day.

I'll now march in lock step w/ the enviro-nazis. Thank you for educating me, sir. The main point of course, is that Big Al IS one of the world's leading carbon polluters. One more time; If he really believed what he spewed from his mouth, he'd live in a mud hut and quit farting, just to set an example for us mindless idiots.

"There has been an organized campaign, financed to the tune of about $10 million a year from some of the largest carbon polluters, to create the impression that there is disagreement in the scientific community," said Gore. "In actuality, there is very little disagreement." Mr. Waterfowler, just to keep you up to speed:

Quayle, who, as far as I can tell, has no particular redeeming qualities, unless he realizes the invasion of Iraq was a really bad idea, not to mention a criminal enterprise.

"Always wear underwear"? I suppose you walk around with that on your bleeding heart left-winged liberal protest signs these days, huh? I still say President Reagan was right - Ketchup <em>is</em> a vegetable, dammit. BTW, I tried my Latin on the stewardess on the flight down to Buenos Aires today, but she must speak a different dialect. A little nappy-poo and I'll hit the bar scene later on tonight. Adeo mihi, mama! That should be a sure fire pick-up line. My Latin teacher, Claudius, says it's always worked for him! Hot-cha-cha-cha!
