Bush's War...

the 2 part Frontline series on PBS began last night and while it was good overall so far, I think that there was nothing groundbreaking. It seems to me that when interviewing some of the war cheerleaders, it could be pointed out that they are actually proven liars and despicable human beings. I would hope that the 2nd part airing tonight might draw some conclusions and lay out for some of the less cerebral amoung us the incontrovertable realities that seem to be missing from the discussion.

Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Chalabi, Pearle, Wolfie, Feith, Cambone have far more innnocent blood on their hands than Bin Laden ever will but no one seems to mention it.

5 Years of War...

but most people are indifferent to the sacrifice of the people actually fighting it. It might help if the media covered it more than Britney Spears...here is a link that can help change that.

Speaking of sacrifice....did you see that Bush thanked his Treasury Sec for working over the weekend while the economy tanks? I mean, if that doesn't convince you that this Admin is dead serious about the state of the economy and determined to do whatever it takes (including working weekends) to stop that bleeding...well then you just don't get it. Weekends....Can you believe it, this guy worked over the WEEKEND. What a patriot!

Ski Blogging...

8 inches of fresh powder should make for pretty good skiing this weekend in the local mountains...looks goood to me.

Yankee Blogging...

Shelly Duncan caused a bit of a stir with his hard slide into 2nd base during yesterdays spring training game against the Rays. The Rays were none to happy and called it a "dirty play" but what really happened was that Shelly just didn't hear the coaches yelling at him to "Serpentine Shel, Serpentine!".

It looks like..

our local right wingish rag, the Daily Breeze in Torrance, CA was the source for 1st round of Ferraro racist comments. How Team Clinton thinks this kind of Mr. Kettle meet Mr. Black nonsense helps them, I can't fathom. Certainly it seems to me that a beat up old hag like Ferraro wouldn't want to contrast credentials and draw attention to the fact that she wasn't likely to be elected to the local school board much less Congress without the help of her mobbed up husband. Take it outside Gerrie.

Presser Blogging..

Forgot to mention that Bush in an answer to a question about Telco immunity said that companies were LED to believe what they were doing was legal....

To paraphase Animal House...."Hey, you fucked up...you trusted us...."

Shrubby...

had a presser this AM and it still amazes me what a dunce that man is. The Q&A followed a predictable path....listen to question, babble, lie, smirk inappropriately, shrug and then pat self on back like you really nailed it.

Notable was the idea that he hadn't heard that gas might be going to $4/gallon...HADN'T HEARD IT....nice.

Asked about what hope he might give to working Americans worried about the economic problems they are faced with....Bush offered up making the tax cuts permanent....which are set to expire in a few YEARS. Yup, that oughta provide plenty of hope and comfort knowing that rich folks won't have worry about paying more taxes years from now.

Big Sunday in Manhattan..

15 foot waves in Manhattan Beach, CA prompted lifeguards and police to close the concrete pier yesterday minutes after these pictures were taken. A camera phone just doesn't do justice to the immense power the breakers create. The Pier was shaking and whitewater spraying over the railings.....just breathtaking and inimidating...very, very cool.
