Single What? Female...

gettin' down for de Mardi Gras...

Six months after the hurricane, there is a limited Mardi Gras goin' on. The Bon Temps are still rollin', despite the fact that while the Superdome is back in business, far too many homes, hospitals and schools are NOT...

IN THE MEANTIME...Here's a reason to celebrate. A new poll shows Bush's approval rating at a new low of %34. The whole Dubai debacle (which if you hadn't heard, the coast guard had qualms about...) apparently has gotten to the American people and they do not care for such a deal. And it doesn't help that this has been the most violent week in Iraq in some time and new Zogby poll shows that even the troops want out...

and of course, the president wants Congress to authorize 72 billion more dollars for Iraq. Funny how that number matches the percentage of troops who want us to leave Iraq (see above)...CALL YOUR CONGRESSFOLK! LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO GIVE THAT WAR ANOTHER PENNY 'TIL YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT TROOPS ARE HEADING OUT OF THERE!

Particularly when we can't presently be sure about the state of our National Guard. Apparently Bush and Co. hadn't consulted governors about his budget plans for the National Guard which may leave some states without a good number of Guard...or any at all...

Okay...so Bush doesn't consult the govs on National Guard plan...
doesn't consult Congress about illegal spying (cause he has a God Given Right...I mean "mandate"...to tap those anti-war hippies, I mean "terrorists" here in the US), torture, his own people don't consult HIM let alone Congress about the Dubai deal...anyone noticing a pattern?

See this is the thing that gets me the most. Folks who actually still approve of this fool should at least see the continuing pattern of how the Bush administration has a penchant for going around the law and seeing themselves above the law when it comes to the economy, the war on terror, education, etc...how can one really support THAT?

So what does this mean?

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 --Alex

and people...the Red Sox...will be different this year...I am hoping for the better...Curt Schilling says he's feeling "great" and we already know the potential of John Papelbon...I just wanna see if this Lorotta guy can live up to being 2nd in the hitting lineup AND Coco Crisp makes it worth his deal as well.

And I want Orlando Cabrera to come back to us...

and that is that on that in my baseball world :p
