I can see clearly now...

the rain is gone...Yes the sun is out in New York City for the first time in what seems like aeons and I have had chocolate this morning. I also found that the Dems forced another delay on John Bolton, the Woolsey Amendment was put up for a vote (at least) and Tom DeLay is left cranky this morning due to his group's treasurer being found guilty of violating election law AND apparently his name was used as a "slur" on Law & Order: Criminal Intent Wednesday night.

And in the "take THAT!" category, I would like to think that this might bode well for cases against White House retaliation. New York City has to pay the AIDS activist group Housing Works $4.8 million in a settlement after it was proven that the Giuliani administration cut their funding after the group criticized him and his administration during a protest. Hmmmmmm....

At least a judge in Oregon has shown George that he can't get away with making environmental policy fit his ideology...

And in the "Don't Do That You'll Go Blind!" category (yeah, who's NOT making that joke after this headline...) the FDA is looking into random bouts of blindness caused by Viagra and Cialis (and other ED drugs). And here are the jokes in my head right now (apologies in advance)...doesn't help that I saw Dave Attell at Town Hall last night: 1) "Hey watch where you put that thing!" 2) "Um, honey, that's not me..." 3) keep the lubricant and the hot sauce on separate shelves 4) keep the blow-up doll and the cement at a safe distance in the garage 5) two words for ya - kitchen accident...and so many more..."that's not your intern that's my wife!" okay, stop I must...

'Cause of course this has to lead to Senator Coburn's 7th annual "Safe Sex lecture" for the young staffers at the Capital. Yes, this "conservative, Bible-quoting Republican from Oklahoma", does a lecture on STD's for the hormonal youngins, with slides and photographs, basically showing the punishment for promiscuity. He apparently, over the last couple of years, has shelved his ideology and just shared the facts. My question is, has he shared this with his fellow Congressfolk?

And speaking of sharing things with your Congressfolk...KEEP E-MAILING!! E-mail, call, fax, write your friends and family, the press and your Congressfolk and let them know that you are PAYING ATTENTION!! And as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace and good weekend to you! --Alex

And as you remember our fallen soldiers this weekend, check out the action being taken this weekend by Code Pink and other groups.
