George speaks to the people...
Yep, George is going to try to talk to the people tonight, and ease our worries about Iraq. The only time he does this, as he does like to avoid things like press conferences and addresses cause he has to, you know, speak in full coherent sentences intelligently rather than just saying "No, see, I'm the President and...uh...I know what I'm doin'...I got real good people here and uh...you're just gonna have to trust me on this...right Dick?"*okay just got busted dancing to Aretha Franklin's Rock Steady at my desk...but there is a line in the song that George and his people out to think about: "say what it is..." particularly to Chris Froheiser who lost his son in Iraq and has been struggling with why ever since...I can't get the full New Yorker article online (so go out and get the mag!), but this Q & A with the writer might give an idea...)
And speaking George speaking, he will be at a military base tonight, proving that he is indeed the king of blatant photo ops and meticulously arranged public appearances...and I'm glad to see that more and more, people are calling him out on it...Bob Schieffer had this to say this past Sunday...
And speaking of folks calling George out...John Kerry has something to say about what George should be saying tonight...
And speaking of calling folks out...Keith Olbermann had something to say to Karl Rove (evil genius)...
And speaking of Karl, George and the Administration, one must go to wonkette for the "tit for tat" section...what starts out as a wonkette trying to clear up an Ed Klein quote, turns into a great chart of "If you" do this "you can't..." do that...
IN THE MEANTIME...I do highly suggest sending George a message and let him know juuuust how out of touch he really is. And then you can 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!
After that, give yourself a chuckle by checking out pics from the Mermaid Parade which was at Coney Island this past Saturday which I and the rest of my posse of Valkyrie Mermaids attended as well as Billionaires for Bush who went as the Coney Island Yacht Club this year. It truly is a wonderful event and I think is rather well described by this line from a song by Michael Franti recently played on the radio: "All the freaky people make the beauty of the world..."
Peace --Alex
