Single What? Female...

I don' wanna!!!

In Sunday's Boston Globe, there was a little talked of article about how Bush has been ignoring Congress (duh!), primarily by signing statements with over 750 laws that essentially say "if I don't feel like going along with this one, I don't have to..." Arlen Specter and other members of Congress heard about this little article that could, and (for some reason) were SURPRISED by this and Specter wants hearings held in June...Yes, Arlen, he really is trying to be King George...

Among the laws Bush said he can ignore are military rules and regulations, affirmative-action provisions, requirements that Congress be told about immigration services problems, ''whistle-blower" protections for nuclear regulatory officials, and safeguards against political interference in federally funded research.

and I'll bet that this may go along with any legislation that would mess with his newly extended tax cuts...

and speaking of tax cuts and spending, I just heard Bush actually say "It's important to have fiscal responsibility..."

what is this in reference to? Emergency funding for a potential flu pandemic. That's right folks, if Bush actually makes his first veto ever, it would be on emergency funding for a pontential plague..

IN THE MEANTIME....Just when you thought the Taliban was gone from AfghanOsamaBinForgottenstan, it appears that they are gaining force...

AND...after the Surpreme Court debacle, it appears that the Dems may actually TRY to filibuster a couple of Bush's high level court picks that he's been trying to drive through...I'll believe it when I see it frankly...


speaking of seeing something to believe...if you have not gotten links from you friends for this...and you can't find it on YouTube as they apparently removed it due to "copyright infringement" Here are the transcript for Stepehn Colbert's nothing-short-of-brilliant turn at the White House correspondent's dinner AND proper video (thank you Fred)...Colbert made everybody giggle and then twitch just a little...and rightly so...more power to him!

Send him some love over at Comedy Central and then KEEP E-MAILING!!! Email 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! It's been working on the price of gas, on immigration and on hearings-they're all at least TALKING (and may actually get to the DOING of things)...and heck Karl Rove is sticking strictly to politics now, so they are obviously picking up on the noise, so keep it comin' :) And don't forget to support your local Democratic or Independent 2006 Congressional candidates!

Peace --Alex
