OY!

Cause yes, there are other things going on in the world besides watching the Bush horror show here:

If you have been living in a cave and have not heard about the desperate situation in Thailand/Sri Lanka/Sumatra/India, etc, check all the papers and the TV as it is all over the place, and rightfully so. If you want to help, here are a few links that should be useful:

IN OTHER NEWS:

In the "sound familiar" file we put in this story from the New York Times. Youshenko in the Ukraine, after the re-vote, ended up with 52% of the vote...and, of course, his Russian-backed opponent is challenging...

And just cause he wants to make sure we all know that he's still around, Osama Bin Laden has released yet ANOTHER audio tape, where, according to one pundit, he sounds like he's a little jealous of the attention Chief Insurgent Al-Zarqawi's been getting in Iraq. He's saying the Al-Zarqawi is his man in Iraq and that the Sunni boycott of the election is all his doing. *"yeah, see, they all listen to me, man...yeah, that's it...cause I'm still here, baby! Yeah. Sure the Ignorant American Infidel got Saddam, but I'm still here! And Zarqawi, he's my bitch! I mean "emir", and you should also listen to him cause he is my voice in Iraq, yeah, that's the way it all works...Who's your Daddy?"*

And cause Rumsfeld just can't help saying stupid things right now...he apparently gave the 9/11 conspiracy theorists a wicked big Christmas present when, while addressing soldiers on Christmas Eve, made a reference to Flight 93...and how it was "shot down" by the terrorists. Of course, a spokesperson said that Rummy just "misspoke"...oh Rummy, you gotta stop doin' that! (no matter how much it amuses us and can get you fired)

that's right, keep diggin' that hole...

And here's something Rummy's not going to like to hear, let alone his boss (I have a feeling that George is not hearing about this story from his people...). Major Kathy Kaus, a Reservist from Ohio was recently released from a Navy brig and is seeking clemency because she and her fellow officers, in order to perform a mission, went "scrounging" for proper equipment. They needed to deliver fuel to another unit and felt that their equipment was insufficient, so they went and took a couple of abandoned tractor trailers and stripped parts from an abandoned truck...and they ended up in the brig for it. The people were doing just what Rumsfeld suggested-working with the army they have, not the one they want-and they end up court-martialed...welcome to our administration, people...

AND OF COURSE CAUSE I CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT MENTIONING ELECTION STUFF...

The latest from Bloggerman can be read right here:

Cause Kerry is the most cautious politician we know...GAH!

In the meantime...KEEP E-MALING!!!! and Pass It On, my friends!

Peace --Alex
