Bush gets snippy...

But first, allow me to get snippy as duuuude, they've been making me do my JOB here...and I've been trying to do grant proposals and Christmas cards and blah blah blah- leaving no time to read and properly blog but dammit, I got somethin' to say...

Bush is on the defensisive...blinking and shifting and trying to tell the world that he is not a total dunderhead and that the war really is a good thing. He's made four speeches now on Iraq. yes he's still making people twitch...such as Peggy Noonan on the Colbert Report the other night who was expecting to merely talk about her new book on Pope John Paul II, but Colbert (despite being a devout Catholic) had other ideas such as asking her about how, while she came up with great ideas for Bush I, couldn't she write for Bush II, what has really happened with his presidency this year and after taking two months unpaid leave from the Wall Street Journal to work on his campaign, did she feel it was worth it? He also asked how come the Democrats didn't get the same "really good, supportive audiences" for their town meetings. After each question was asked, she did have to take a breath and come up with a proper (spun) reponse and held her own, but I don't see her coming back to that show right away.

On the Today show this morning, Matt Lauer interviewed Brian WIlliams about his interview with the president and they showed a clip from the interview that will be on MSNBC tonight. Williams asked George about the comment he made that he never reads the paper or watches the television news. George said that he does indeed read "the paper...I may not get to all of it..." but he does indeed check it out in the morning and he does watch the news (never said how much or what networks), but he does "get clips and summaries" from "very good advisors" so of course "how can anyone say that I don't know what's going on?". Williams and Lauer did also point out that George said that he didn't get to do much "in the morning..cause I'm working" but apparently "at night when he kicks back" he's able to watch...more news...before going to bed at 9:30...

our LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...good lord...

At least people are starting to wake up to the truth a bit...and even the Supreme Court is looking at DeLay's redistricting of Texas...start humming karma, saying prayers, crossing appendages in the hopes that the Court will see this case as the obvious case of blatant vote stealing that it is.

AND...the Alito questioning is coming up SOON. I can't get over the fact that Christmas is next week, let alone the Scalito vote. You might want to send a note to your Senator and let them know how you feel about the man...

You also might want to leave a message for your Senator about the Patriot Act vote as well as a proper exit plan for Iraq...

IN THE MEANTIME...I went to a meeting of Democracy for New York last week and while I could not stay the whole time, it was great to meet up with some more people trying to do something. The main thing they are working on is voting machines right now, but they are also working to promote Democratic candidates in 2006, including one who came to visit and observe the group. I hope to make the next meeting and get things goin' with them :)

All right, that's what i got time for this evening, but I assure you, there will be more to come...

and KEEP E-MAILING!!!

Peace --Alex
