Single What? Female...

it's d'lovely, it's delightful...

DeLay has resigned!

Yep, he, of course, still denies any wrong doing, but obviously the scandals have affected his feeling about getting re-elected, hence the resignation (that and perhaps some of the GOP goin' "Uh...Tom?" *handing him the contents of his desk in several boxes...*

IN THE MEANTIME...

Apparently, the president's people are trying to win back his base by essentially "letting Bush be Bush": all "folksy" and "playing up his anti-intellectual, regular guy image..." They realized that the scripted, invited audience thing was getting criticized so they're letting him "get off script" on occasion and...well, they're letting him talk...on his own...

Personally, I see this as a move of utter desperation and would like to believe that people will see what dolt they voted in...but sadly the "I could have a beer with the president" crowd will most likely actually go with it...but then again, as Bush still tends to twitch and look uncomfortable in such situations and does for the most part follow specific talking points given him, even the folks who can see themselves having a beer with him, may see him as that rambling guy at the bar who's fun when he's drunk but gets tiresome after awhile ("and he twitches a lot...he doesn't seem right in the head...")

And it appears that the Supreme Court is kinda feeling the same way...they denied the hearing of the Jose Padilla case, but three of the justices who voted not to hear the case, did give Bush a warning that if the federal government tried to play with Padilla's present situtation, they would intervene. (then again, they could, ya know, hear the case...but then again, perhaps they did the warning 'cause these guys thought with Scalia and Thomas, this case wouldn't get very far anyway...who's to say?)

But you know what I say: when the Supreme Court has to issue this kind of warning against the government, don't ya think that's further proof of the need for CENSURE?!?!? Send a note to your Congressfolk folks!

to leave ya with a happy thought...The Red Sox won opening day 7-3 yesterday afternoon against Texas :):):) Woo hoo! First opening day win since 2000 :)

But even if your team lost, KEEP E-MAILING!! Email, fax, call, write your friends and family, the press and your Cngress folk and let them know that you are paying attention!!!! ANd that you want a BIG CHANGE in '06!

Peace --Alex
