"We're suffering, we're barely living...."
"Gentlemen: I didn't realize how little faith you had in your candidate. To give so much power to folks like myself is amazing. I thought you all said that the President won because of what he stood for, and now I come to find out that the only reason he got elected was because of people like me. This doesn't say much for your candidate. Enjoy the chocolate."
Message accompanying some chocolates sent to the right wing "Citizens United" group by Whoopi Goldberg in response to their cornball "4 more years. Thank you, Hollywood!" billboards. (Daily News)
1500 dead (and counting) but, good grief, could this jackass' redonkolous mideast policy actually be working?
No wonder dude still feels like he can pull provocative sh-t like this - Bush Picks Critic of U.N. to Serve as Ambassador to It.

While in Iraq, the troops still ain't get no body armor?! No wonder they're so trigger happy.
And is offshoring tyranny the best way to fight it around the world? (Related: Newsweek's Aboard Air CIA - was the agency's secret charter service, shuttling detainees to interrogation facilities worldwide legal?)
But back home: Black clergy being down with Bush's distinctly minority-unfriendly agenda is bad enough in itself. Selling out homosexuals and a women's right to choose in exchange for a shot at some of that "faith-based" paper makes it even worse.
How can they (or anyone) even be focused on these non-issues when the Congo is a horrendous mess and terrible tragedies are occuring there right now. (related" Human Rights Watch "Seeking Justice -- The Prosecution of Sexual Violence in the Congo War" report)
Speaking of right wing jigaboo's though, Armstrong Williams is back.
Props to Canada's PM Paul Martin but (and I'm not sure of the chronology on these events) did he receive a full American slapdown in response?
Finally, y'all know I think old girl is the worst ever but I'm not gonna knock her for her fashion choices although all the knee-high boots in the world couldn't convince me she was sexy.
