Single What? Female...

George gets to talk...again?!?!

No wonder he wouldn't push back the date of the Iraq elections! The State of the Union is TOMORROW (giving myself a dope slap-Cut the ADD/insomniac girl surrounded by ongoing office construction some slack). Speaking of his speaking...yesterday, one of the Shiite leaders and frontrunners in the polls declared that he would reach out to Sunnis who did NOT vote and were doubtful of the whole process. As they have to build a Constitution, he says, it should not just be for the the Shia and the Kurds; the Constitution is for everyone. Um, George, think you might take a hint from that? As while you have been (not so quietly) seeking to find a way to repeal Roe V. Wade, amend the Constitution to in order to ban gay marriage, allowing your attorney general to order the indefinite holding-without proper charge-of hundreds of men and women merely for being Muslim, having the same name as someone you may have seen on a list or for speaking out against the government, all under the Patriot Act, allowing for torture, allowing the GOP to send out misleading flyers to conservative Christians about "liberals" and to mislead blacks about polling areas, the dates of the vote as well as keeping them FROM the vote with faulty lists AT polling areas, AND entering a war under false pretenses while allowing the terrorist who actually attacked us run free in the caves of Afghanistan, well, sir, I think you indeed have forgotten that the Constitution is for EVERYONE and you and your people need to rethink our being an example of freedom to the fledgling democracy of Iraq. I want you to think about that as you practice the words written for you in that speech you give tomorrow...remember, the State of the Union speech has gotten you into trouble before...

And speaking of the President misleading people...George apparently has decided to "privately" support limits on his privatizing of social security 'cause he keeps hearing that there are a few people who disagree with him. ("but really, Mr. President, it's just a few...")

And speaking of people who disagree with him, can we give it up for Harry Reid and Nacy Pelosi who challenged George on Iraq yesterday? They have asked George to use his speech to explain how long American troops are going to stay and how, perhaps he's going to measure the success there...

And if anyone had forgotten that there is indeed a war going on with all the vote hoopla, there was a riot at an Iraqi prison. Soldiers ended up having to use deadly force, though, already the Iraqi human rights minister is asking for an investigation into whether or not it was excessive.

Speaking of soliders, George is AT LEAST "seeking" to raise the death benefit to $100,000...Guess he figured he had to do something since he sent them there in the first place to be killed, let alone didn't make sure that there was enough money for proper body armor...and didn't judge properly how long they're going to be there...particularly as, just when everybody is calling for an exit strategy, an Iraqi leader is saying, the troops leave, that is complete nonsense

IN THE MEANTIME...

With all George's talk about abstinence programs (which people have been saying for years do not work), there is yet another study saying that sex increased among Texas teens (not in TEXAS?!?!) after the abstinence program was introduced at the school.

AND what did I tell you? George was all smiles yesterday about his newly sworn in Education secretary, Miss Spellings, praising her as she stated that she-and the President-want to expand the No Child Left Behind program to the High School level (and I am sure they will try to add abstinence programs and band Spongebob and Buster the Bunny while they are at it...but that's for a more private conversation and hidden documentation).

And in the realm of the ridiculous...Medicare will cover Viagra. I believe the quote is, "if it is approved and deemed medically necessary, then Medicare has to cover it..." Okay, then y'all HAVE to cover the pill now because, as it has been since Viagra was released into the world, there are a whole lot more women out there for whom the pill should be deemed medically necessary.

So while you are waiting for your prescriptions, KEEP E-MAILING!! E-mail, call, write, fax your friends and family, yourCongressfolk, the press, etc. Let them all know that YOU are PAYING ATTENTION!! and as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on.

Peace --Alex
