Single What? Female...

coming back...must blog...

Screw the ringing phones! Blast the office distraction! It's time to BLOG!

And what better reason to get back to it than the House voting 406 to 20 to overturn the "ethics rules" GOPers enacted last year so that an actual and full investigation into Tom DeLay's business dealings. Of course DeLay says he can't wait to get to work and clear his name (translation: "I've been having my interns scrub the web and shred documents for WEEKS! you'll find NOTHING! NOTHING I TELL YOU!").

And speaking of DeLay, if you're tired about hearing about him-let alone from him- and have been wanting to give him the dope slap he so desperately deserves, you can head over to HammerTheHammer.com and smack him over the head with a gavel (I unfortunately cannnot download the flashplayer needed to play this game here at work, but it does look very fun...and satisfying.) I love that this site was referenced at, of all papers, the Capitol webletter The Hill.

IN THE MEANTIME...A part of me actually considered running late to an outing tonight just so I could see what Bush will do at the press conference he has planned for this evening (I do not have TiVo). He hasn't had one of these in about a year (and has had all of FOUR since 2001), thus is SO desperate to get his social security plan through and John Bolton accepted that he's willing to stand before *gasp* the PRESS. Aparently he will push Social Security and his energy plan (the House has passed this monstrosity, so you might want to send a note to your Senators about this...) which includes building oil refineries on closed military bases as well as natural gas drilling in CT and Long Island sound (which is being fought by CT and Long Island Sound) among other places. Um...didn't he say something about trying to lessen our dependence on fossil fuels?...oh wait this is George, here...Tell me how it goes, folks...

In Iraq today apparently, after three months, they have a government...sort of...maybe...
And I'm sure it had nothing to do with Rice and Cheney making phone calls goin' "Could you hurry it up over there?!?!"

In the "things george doesn't wanna hear...particularly before a primetime press conference..." category, MSNBC has this article about how the economy is indeed having a "soft patch" growing at it's slowest pace in two years...that and United For Peace and Justice is planning a BIG Rally here in NYC this Sunday (which I can't make as I will be hosting folks and riding myself in BIKE NY-the five borough Bike Tour...but if you find yourself in town and wanna make some noise...)

And speaking of making noise, you might wanna get in touch with your Congressfolk about this bill limiting abortion access and tightening the rules...again...

AND as you e-mail them KEEP E-MAILING!!! E-mail, call, write, fax your friends and family, your Congressfolk and the Press and let them know that you are PAYING ATTENTION! And as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on :)

Peace --Alex
