Awwwwwww! Isn't he adorable!?!?

While hogging the god/grandchild this weekend, I managed to coax him into a little chit-chat. He is only 93 days old, so the conversation was a tad limited. Still, I think it shows great potential.

I think that you need to save the file to your hard-drive and then open it. I tested it, and opening it from a temporary location only gave me the audio.

The Grand/God child: update

Here are a couple more pictures of little AJ.

Isn't he just adorable? This is at 3 months.

Hostility

All I get from those asshole freeper-Bush-apologists at Beethoven.com (not all, just a select few) is a bunch of hostility and grief and THEY call ME the nasty one.

Pig-Fuckers. They just don't like the fact that I am right about a few things, and their beloved Chimpy isn't.

Fuck them. May they rot in hell with Chimpy and Darth Cheney, and his back-stabbing-self-loathing repressed lesbo daughter of his.

Senate says "Bite me!" to Bush

The Senate voted 90-9 in favor of better treatment for detainees.


Chimpy must be furious! The Rethugs just thumbed their noses at him! How's that man-date feel now?

Gotta love this:

The Republican-controlled Senate voted Wednesday to impose restrictions on the treatment of terrorism suspects, delivering a rare wartime rebuke to President Bush.

Of course, it is ludicrous that we have to pass legislation to bar torture in this day and age.

Another one bites the dust........

DELAY INDICTED!

The official title of the article is Republicans in disarray after Delay indictment. Gotta love when Republicans are in disarray!

Here's a little nugget:

The charges come as Republican leaders face increasing difficulty in using their majority to carry out Mr Bush's legislative agenda. The president's ambitious plans to rebuild the Gulf coast after Hurricane Katrina have raised strong objections from fiscal conservatives within his party. There is growing consensus that Congress will be unable to enact Social Security reform this year. And extension of his first-term tax cuts is threatened.

Happy Dances may now ensue!

Delay down, Frist is next!

LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush is a liar!!!!!!!!

From Editor and Publisher:

Q Did they misinform you when you said that no one anticipated the breach of the levees?

THE PRESIDENT: No, what I was referring to is this. When that storm came by, a lot of people said we dodged a bullet. When that storm came through at first, people said, whew. There was a sense of relaxation, and that's what I was referring to. And I, myself, thought we had dodged a bullet. You know why? Because I was listening to people, probably over the airways, say, the bullet has been dodged. And that was what I was referring to.

Of course, there were plans in case the levee had been breached. There was a sense of relaxation in the moment, a critical moment. And thank you for giving me a chance to clarify that.

My favorite seedling for '05

Here is my favorite seedling that bloomed in 2005. It's parentage is Prairie Blue Eyes x Joan Senior. The color is quite radiant. The photo really doesn't do it justice.

Betty Bowers sums up the latest

The beloved Mrs. Bowers' latest newsletter just is too good to not share.

Here's a teaser:

I see that our gallant President has decided that it is taking far too long for Iraq to look like America. So he has decided to meet them halfway by making New Orleans look like Baghdad. Only, perhaps, he went too far, as New Orleans could only aspire to a lawless anarchy as dry as Iraq's. And here I thought dear Katherine Harris and her faux-felon purge was the model for trimming the voting lines of Democrats! Frankly, Katherine's glorious efforts to relieve the registration lists of nefarious liberals can't hold a candle to the magnificent indolence of FEMA in New Orleans. And while dead people may vote (especially in Ohio), they don't show up in court to whine about being harassed at the polls. Glory!

Hurricane Katrina hits the Gulf coast, and Bush is in CA playing a fucking guitar!

This is (almost) unbelieveable.



So, while the South is being pounded by a category 5 hurricane, Bush is screwing around, playing a guitar, acting like nothing is happening.

Here is the text of the picture, per the Associated Press:

President Bush plays a guitar presented to him by Country Singer Mark Wills, right, backstage following his visit to Naval Base Coronado, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005. Bush visited the base to deliver remarks on V-J Commemoration Day. (AP Photo/ABC News, Martha Raddatz)

Goldberg is asking for it........

Bernard Goldberg, right-wing asshole, is just asking for it.

His latest book is titled "100 People Who are Screwing Up America."

I read part of the interview and couldn't finish it. The only Democrat he thinks isn't ruining America is Zell (from HELL) Miller. Pah-leease!

When are these vile pricks going to get what they have coming?

GAYSROK

GAYSROK is an excellent idea for a personalized plate.

Utah tried to stop a proud mom from expressing her love for her daughter, but they failed! Screw the mormons!

Mr. Clean

That stupid Mr. Clean magic eraser commercial was driving me nuts! I found myself humming the damned jingle every now and then. So, at Wal-HELL-Mart, I bought a couple of those things.

WOW! They REALLY work! I had some scuffs on my floor that I was unable to remove - I had tried bleach, scrubbing HARD, mopped until I wore the mop out and NOTHING. Ten seconds with the Magic Eraser and they are gone!

And the stuff on the walls - simply amazing! Now if it came in a large size with a handle! Probably will next!

Nightwings (not mine, but I love it)
and, lastly, the Sadie Monster!

Srushy aquitted....

The bad news is detailed here.

What I don't understand is, how, if the guy dictated even minute details, how in HELL did he NOT know about the fraud. For that matter, 5 CFO's later, and he STILL didn't know? Get real! I am less than pleased.

Tom Cruise doesn't believe in psychiatry......

Wow! What has happened to Tom Cruise??

Here is a link to a video of an interview he did with Matt Lauer on The Today Show. The transcript is there, too, but the video is much more compelling.

Creepy!!

Kozlowski found GUILTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Truly WONDEROUS news!!!!!

"......as the jury foreman intoned guilty verdict after guilty verdict against the pair — 22 for each."

I damn-near did a little dance after reading that one! I've waited for this Repugnican ass-clown to get nailed. It's nice to see something good happen once in a while!!

Saddam's Choice of Snacks

Wow! What IMPORTANT fucking news this is! I am sure glad someone out there thought to find out what Saddam is and is not eating. I'll know I'll sleep better at night knowing that Saddam, too, likes Doritos. Although the mystery of which flavor of Doritos is rather perplexing, I find solace that a former dictator likes the brand. That should make the stock just jump on the market!

I cannot believe this crap is considered news!

Betty Bowers' latest newsletter

Mrs. Betty Bowers - America's Best Christian - has released her latest newsletter. I guarantee a laugh or two when reading this one! I was about choking from laughing. Well worth the read.

FEE'D TO DEATH!

I am sure a large number of people pay various investment fees, particulary if you invest in mutual funds. Edward Jones recently disclosed some information on the companies they usually work with. I found this rather disturbing. I knew that they were paid, obviously, but not to this extent, particularly since Edward Jones charges a fee to the clients as well!

No wonder Edward Jones was strongly pushing for privatization of Social Security!

Here is a table I downloaded from their website.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket

The world is going to hell in a handbasket. Right, that's not exactly new. I just thought I'd catch up on a few months of missed blogging.

Iraquagmire is the usual hell. 1,373 deaths, 10,371 wounded

Bush is still a fucking moron.

Social Security is in danger of being gutted by the Bushies to screw future generations and give piles of money to Wall Street (Like they need more!).

The so-called "Marriage Protection Act" has been re-introduced into the Senate.

Republicans are still breating.

If you want more hell, just turn on the news!

Barbara Boxer is my new hero

Damn! I just watched the video of Barbara Boxer (D-CA) kicking CondoLIESa Rice's ass. She is awesome. Condi is just a bitch. She flat out lied. She didn't answer the questions.
