Single What? Female...

They think about this NOW?!?!

You know, we all occasionally have made rash decisions that we regret later: a bad haircut, harem pants, fast food, sociopathic signifigant others...but they do not affect federal law...Apparently, as the confirmation of Janice Rogers Brown looms ahead, some liberals are goin' "maybe that filibuster compromise was not such a good idea..."

And if George was the type to pay attention to polls rather than the voices in his head (ralph wiggam anyone?), perhaps he would be rethinking the whole Iraq thing...according to the latest from ABC and the Post, 52% of the nation believes that we are not safer, think the casualty cost of the war is not worth it, and they are "losing patience with the enterprise"...Perhaps pictures would be better...*(knock, knock, knock on George's head) Hello, McFly!*

And speaking of things George is ignoring...This goes in the "cocky bastard" file. Like Nixon not erasing the tapes, Phil A. Cooney, a guy who's been fighting those pesky enironmentalists for years, according to handwritten notes on fed approved climate research reports, "removed or adjusted" facts regarding links between pollution and global warming and emissions...and never shredded the evidence...*"oh no one will ever find that..."*

And I'm sure he does not want to hear about how the Army, even after lowering their recruiting for May, still fell short...

And we all know George is standing there, hands over his ears saying "BLAH BLAH BLAH I can't hear you!" to Jimmy Carter who, yesterday, at a speech at the Carter Center in Atlanta, became the latest to request that Guantanamo be shut down.

Yeah I figure he was doing that to Tony Blair through much of their discussions of Africa and "what'll ya give me for unswerving Iraq support?...Wait, that's it?!?!"

Speaking of Mr. Blair, did anyone see the Today show this morning. Katie Couric actually asked him about the Downing Street Memo, how he was quoted in the memo as saying "the case was thin" for a war in Iraq, and did he perhaps help "embellish" the evidence to help gather support? He had a fairly pat answer as I recall saying essentially "why would we ever do that?" And then the topic was done. Okay, Katie can you go ask George about this now and then get more from Blair on this? Please...anyone else up for the job? Anyone? Anyone?

IN THE MEANTIME...some of the scariest news to come out of Florida since the election..Katherine Harris wants to run for Senate. And gosh darnit she'll do it. She can fix her own election!

Okay so after all of this, you might need a chuckle, and nothing says love like a feel and some football. Yes, Cologne, the German host city of the World Cup is arranging "sex huts" near the grounds as, despite their having a proper Red Light district, "there just won't be room for parking"...

All right, back to the phones I go as well as to the potentially migraine inducing work of trying to learn music to a 40-part motet. Yes I'll be singing the alto part in "chorus VII", singer 32, in an event celebrating the 500th birthday of composer Thomas Tallis...cause you know, singing in Chinese for NYCS was not enough.

So while you try to keep from thinking about Chinese motets, KEEP E-MAILING!! E-mail, call, fax, write you friends and family, the press and your Congressfolk and let them know that you are PAYING ATTENTION!!! and pass it on, pass it on, pass it on...

Peace --Alex
