Great Comeback, Kerry

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who lost to Bush in the 2004 election, said it was the president who had failed to put a [Social Security reform] plan on the table. Referring to a proposal he made during his bid for the White House, Kerry called for repealing Bush-era tax cuts for the nation's top wage-earners to help shore up Social Security's finances.

"We're going to do something," he said of the need to address Social Security funding difficulties. "We're not going to do nothing."

Oh, great Zeus, help us all!

Air America Preaches to the Choir -- Thank You Jebus!

Still trying to get to my desk... meanwhile read this great piece about progressive radio's bolstering of the Left.

Sometimes the choir needs to be preached to! They earned it after all, with all those nights of choir practice and a month of sundays staring at the preacher's butt!

Oil Pigs

Cassandra has a list as long as her arm buried somewhere under this pile of shit on her desk. On that list is a bunch of subjects to be blogged about. What has she been doing instead? Chasing puking, shitting, smelly cats around and running from vet to pharmacy to bank to take care of these pussies!

However, this can't wait.

Click here to hear Oil Pigs. Jello Biafra meets Black Sabbath in one of the best anti recruiting efforts out there.

Just as Dutchman says "we love our kids too much to have them," i say we love our troops too much to let them enlist for this fascist, imperialist quagmire.

peace out.

Pope? Nope!


Cardinals Fail in 2nd Attempt to Pick Pope
AP Video - Tue Apr 19, 7:47 AM ET Black smoke chugged from the Sistine Chapel chimney again Tuesday as the cardinals inside failed in their second day trying to elect a new pope to build on John Paul II's legacy and heal deep rifts within the Roman Catholic Church.

Little confused? Me too. I think AP's got this wrong...

You all deserve each other, crybaby fascists...


those republicans were mean to me

This is a fun one. From Cnn.com today, this Republican, Jerry Gossett of Wichita Falls, Texas, came up with a logo for Chimpy and then the RNC stole it...

So he's suing.

" Gossett says he is a loyal Republican and voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004, but has become jaded by his experience.

'The big RNC against little me, there was absolutely no chance to win,' he said."

Can somebody say frivilous lawsuit? Does he need a trial lawyer? Or a judge?

Hey look, crybaby- you and your kind made this shit sandwich- now you are going to take a bite and you are going to enjoy it, is that clear?

Oh... we did write the Schiavo memo... and DeLay supports child prostitution

I do so love the way the Repugs take responsibility for their actions.

After right-wingnut speculation that the offensive Schiavo memo was really written by some libruls (learning from the dark master Rove?) it turns out that it came out of Sen. Martinez's (R-FL) office.

I like this part, form the CNN report:

"Until this afternoon, I had never seen it and had no idea a copy of it had ever been in my possession," Martinez said of the document. He had previously denied knowing anything about the memo and condemned its sentiments.

...

Martinez, in his statement, said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, had asked for background information on the bill ordering a federal court to review the Schiavo case.

He said he pulled a one-page document from his coat pocket and handed to Harkin. "Unbeknownst to me ... I had given him a copy of the now infamous memo."


Say wha? Martinez had no idea that the memo, in his pocket, that he handed to Harkin, was the Schiavo memo?

In the ABC News story, there's this:

In recent days, conservative Internet bloggers questioned whether the memo was authentic or had really been sent to GOP senators as first reported. The Washington Times reported Wednesday it surveyed the Senate and found only one senator, Democrat Tom Harkin of Iowa, who acknowledged seeing the memo.

In his statement, Martinez acknowleged he inadvertently gave Harkin the memo without ever reading it. But he acknowledged his staffer was responsible for both "drafting and circulating" the memo. He did not specify where else the memo was sent.


Sooo... Harkin asks Martinez for the latest on the Schiavo case, and Martinez hands him a memo drafted by his staffer, but now says he didn't know what he was handing to Harkin, didn't know the memo was in his possession?

"Unbeknownst to me..." "... inadvertently gave ... the memo." What a dick.

Oh yeah- Tom Delay supports sweat shops and child prostitution. Ain't he cute?

The DeLay trip to the South Pacific island, originally reported by a "20/20" investigation, was part of an effort by former aide Jack Abramoff to stop legislation aimed at cracking down on sweatshops and sex shops in the American territory, which is known as the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Abramoff, who was working for the law firm Preston Gates Ellis and Rouvelas Meeds LLP at the time, was paid $1.36 million by Saipan officials and wrote in a memo obtained by ABC News that such congressional trips were "one of the most effective ways to build permanent friends on the Hill."

Abramoff is now under federal investigation for his lobbying activities, including Saipan, according to a source familiar with the investigation.


Wouldn't it be funny if DeLay's daughter got lost on the trip and stumbled into some Saipanese red light district and was kidnapped and forced into prostitution and then got AIDS and stuff?

I wonder how Tom DeLay would feel if his daughter was turned into a child prostitute. I wonder if he ever thought about that. You know, that child prostitutes are people's daughters... that they're human beings?

Oh yeah, he's a Republican. And Wal-Mart needs shirts and white men need the freedom to fly to Saipan to have sex with children.

POPE STILL DEAD


here comes santa claus, here comes santa claus...

Yep... he's still as dead as Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

I was feeling sort of glum about popey, but then in all his obits they went on about how he would criticize liberation theology.

Damn, dawg, liberation theology restored my faith in the Catholic Church.

And he wouldn't tell people to use rubbers. It's AIDS, man. Hand out the rubbers! I mean, wtfwjd?

I remember when he came to Philly when he was a fresh, new popey. I tell ya, he was bigger than Rocky. Rocky. In Philadelphia.

You know what would be cool? If at the funeral, popey sat up, looked at W., and said:

"I've been talking to Jesus. YOU are in BIG trouble, kid."

that would rock.


Tuesday- man, it's been a great month- we went to NY, my brother and his family came to LA and we did all kinds of great stuff, then UNCLE STAN showed up to camp in our living room for a few days.

I'm beat. Happy, but beat. And I gained @ 12 pounds.

The American version of The Office is on tonight. I've been watching it- check out the review below. The NBC version doesn't suck as much as I thought it would.
UPDATE: I come home after a grueling 4 block commute and Cassandra tells me that popey isnt' embalmed. Jon and Ken said it, so it must be histrionic...
