A Sad Damn Day...

Yep, he gets to do it again. It's just maddening. I could rant, but I have decided to at least try to think positively today.

*While I am not among them, there ARE protesters out there this morning in DC.

*Code Pink and other groups have sent out protest suggestions and event links such as wearing a white ribbon today or having a sign that reads "Not My President" (which I have at my desk), or participating in "NOT A DAMN DIME DAY" where you spend NO MONEY today.

*According to the New York Daily News, a group has arranged the "10,000 Jesuses" March to decry Bush's policies as they are, despite his thinking, against Christ's teachings: "They're due to carry signs proclaiming "Who Would I Torture?" and "What part of 'Turn the other cheek' don't you understand?" "

*There are other protesters who are going to be protesting outside Karl Rove (Evil Genius)'s house.

*In New Orleans, there is a "Jazz Funeral for Democracy" today (oh I'd like to be at that one).

*The cover of the Village Voice has a picture of Bush with devil horns and the headline is: Inauguration 2005-The Eve of Destruction

*The main headline of The New York Times is: Public Voicing Doubts on Iraq and the Economy, Poll Finds

*My friend Chip has alerted me to the lawsuit that BlackBoxVoter.com is issuing: A consumer suit against Diebold --yee ha!

*There was an article in Tuesday's New York Times entitled "Cheney Exercising Muscle on Domestic Policy" which to me is further proof that everybody knows who's really running the country...

*While Kid Rock was banned from the youth concert due to lude lyrics, the lead singer of a band that played did announce in front of the tweens: "This is the greatest fucking country in the world!"

*Barbara Boxer and John Kerry voted against Condoleeza Rice yesterday at her Senate approval hearings.

*There is growing dissent among House Republicans over Bush' Social Security plan

*An NBC/Washington Post poll said that %52 of people think that the cost of removing Saddam Hussein has NOT been worth it.

*The President's approval rating is %50. The only President who came into a second term with an equal or lower rating was Richard Nixon...and he was forced to resign and year and half later due to the Watergate scandal.

Here's hoping...

In the meantime...KEEP E-MAILING! E-mail, call, write, fax your Congresspeople 'cause they need to know that we are PAYING ATTENTION!! And make sure your friends and family do the same. And don't forget to get to the Press as well. We have four more years, here (unless the affair with COndi gets announced and another scandal gets announced) and we have to got to make our voices heard. So pass it on, pass it on, pass it on :):):)

Peace --Alex
