Single What? Female...

For real?

It looks like it'll be a busy day in Washington (and one of those days that leads George back to the bottle). Who knew?

John Conyers actually made NPR this morning as they announced his "unofficial hearings" about the Downing Street Minutes. And he actually got a space at the Capital. He couldn't get large room (James Sensenbrenner has yet to pass the keys he swallowed yesterday), but Conyers was able to get a small room and will use the DNC as a spillover space. Take that, Sensenbrenner..

And Conyers ain't the only one up at the Dome talking Iraq. Apparently there will be a special committee meeting discussing a US exit plan. Various representatives, senators, pundits and activists have been asking about this for a loooooong time, but it took Walter "Freedom Fries" Jones, R-NC, to make it news.

And Rham Emmanuel (D-IL) apparently will be on the House floor today reading the names of all 1,700 lost soldiers.

And the House, while they may be trying to gut PBS and NPR, actually have blocked the provision in the Patriot Act that would have allowed the feds to check your library and book buying activities...

And Arlen Specter is the latest to speak out against Gitmo...

And Lindsay Graham (R-SC) apparently has been quoted saying that Bush "ill-prepared the public for the trials and tribulations" of Iraq and that the "sour mood" of the public has been "infecting" the GOP even...hence Bush, according to Dan "puppet-boy" Bartlett, rather than spend a leisurely summer travelling to strictly coordinated, invitation-only events to talk about Social Security, will be working ("working? what do you mean 'working', Dan? I got brush to clear...") to "focus his message" on Iraq and the economy.

And speaking of Social Security, apparently the GOP is stuck in a rut, they don't have the Republican votes to get the proposed plan through, and some are even blaming Karl Rove (evil genius). It's even getting to the point of a particularly unflattering photo of Rove with the article...

And speaking of evil genius...Iran apparently has admitted that okay, yes we've been playing with plutonium production...

And just to throw George over the edge...porn star Mary Carey, a proud Republican, had this to say about the RNC dinner she attended the other night (according to wonkette and MSNBC):

CAREY: I think they can drink just as much [as porn stars]. There were some really drunk guys by the end of the night. I was getting propositions to have threesomes with wives or mistresses. I was offered money from oil tycoons! I mean, it‘s pretty exciting. I didn‘t take any money and I didn‘t do any threesomes, but it was pretty—I was just surprised. I thought everyone would be stuck up and no one was going to like me. And everyone loved me and got drunk and took pictures with me. So I want to keep going to Republican events. I‘m a fully converted Republican now.

There may be some offended, there may be others who see what wonkette and I sadly see: a recruitment poster for the GOP.

So while you ponder the posters of the buxom Carey reading "I WANT YOU! for the GOP!!" appearing on college campuses...KEEP E-MAILING!!! E-mail, call, write, fax 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 --Alex
