Single What? Female...

Where's that 1099?

I'm sure John Bolton would love to merely be distracted with taxes rather than seeing and hearing MORE about people he tried to fire. The latest is the tale of Rexon Ruy, a Republican up and comer who was working on a middle east portfolio for Colin Powell whom Bolton accused of concealing information from him and insubordination and essentially tried to get him fired. Thing is, Ruy was just doing his job as Powell was wary of letting out too much too soon, therefore, Bolton got cranky that he wasn't in on it. Ruy has "no comment" at this time...come on Ruy...you know wanna comment...you know you do. At least Joe Biden would like him to comment I am sure as he goes hunting for more info to convince Lincoln Chafee that by the way, this guy really would suck as UN ambassador. Even Richard Lugar has "expressed concern earlier this week about Bolton's demeanor, but said the paramount issue is the White House's confidence in the nominee..." All I could think of there was "have you SEEN the freaks he's been nominating to the cabinet? Have you really been there Mr. Lugar?
Condi Rice just says that Bolton is a "good manager" and is not a bully, but merely "brings out the best in people" *whip crack!*

In the "DEMOCRATS ARE SATAN'S HELPERS!!" category...if this not the most apalling example of how much power the Christian right has been allowed to have: Bill Frist, in his fight to ban the filibuster during the confirmation hearings of judges is joining an event called "Justice Sunday" which will be held April 24th at a "Kentucky megachurch". They are trying to stop the "filibuster against people of faith"...You'll notice that in the flyer for the event-which pictures a boy with a gavel in one hand and a Bible in the other and reads "he should not have to choose"-it says "public service?" or "faith in Christ"...1)guess those other faiths don't count...and 2)um...aren't we supposed to have a separation of church and state? call me crazy... You wanna see some "people of faith" with some sense go on over and visit www.faithfulamerica.org. *Personally I'd like to see the one pagan Congressperson who has GOT to be in that bunch somewhere, speak up: "Uh, Bill..."*
And then there's the idea ALONE that the man is trying to ban the filibuster...luckily there are some wary Republicans that are trying to say "Um I don't know that crazy man from Tennessee"...

Speaking of folks you might want to disassociate with, the President may want to keep that Texas talk on the down low as Texas oil man David Bay Chalmbers was indicted yesterday with a Korean lobbyist for "making millions of dollars in illegal kickbacks to the Iraqi government..." as part of the UN oil for food program. Guess that guy didn't have much of an issue with Saddam...

And in the "proof George isn't always paying attention" category...he apparently was "surprised" by the latest bill asking that US citizens should have their passports at the ready when they go in and out of Canada and Mexico. He signed this bill. He was at a speaking engagement saying "When I first read that in the paper..." Wait, he read the PAPER?!?!?

AND last but not least as you finish filing your taxes, hopefully you won't have to file for bankruptcy too...

All right, enough of that...who's up for post tax madness cocktails? I myself have to be a good girl tonight as tomorrow as I have a reading and have to sing all day...and well, I was BAD last week when I was doing concerts and such and had to sing all week. The peak of my entertainment will include a burger and a Guiness at my local (a local that apparently Bill Murray strolled into last night...and as there are native New Yorkers that don't realize that Manhattan goes as far north as where I live, this is a true feat on Mr. Murray's part...)

SO while I'm sharing a burger with Bill, KEEP E-MAILING!!! Take a deep breath that your taxes are done, but remember who those taxes are going TO and E-MAIL, CALL, FAX, WRITE those people and let them know that you are PAYING ATTENTION!! And as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex
