My views on politics, life, death, the army, and other things too miscellaneous to mention here. This is a personal blog. This blog is 100% factual.

"There are some myths and untruths surrounding the role God plays in our daily lives. To say that religion and politics do not mix, is certainly a myth, unless you ask a liberal. Anything that affects a Christian (and voting is one of them) — enters into the religious realm. Trying to separate the two is like trying to separate oil from a glass of water, it's impossible to do. "

Bush Picks Alito for Supreme Court
Looks like he finally keeled over to the conservatives. Fight time!

Laffo!
Richard Cohen and the Washington Post says what needs to be done!
Here you go.
Fitzgerald, go back to Chicago already!
Late Edit: Actually, the funny thing about this is that I was reading my Post to work today on the Metro, stumbled over the Cohen column, and figured this was going to be passed around the net as one of the stupidest opinion columns in a least the last couple of months. The first blog I usually check is Atrios in the morning, and sure enough, at 9 in the morning he had already named Cohen the Wanker of the Day. Cool!

Go Go, October!
And not only because my birthday happens to be this month (I turn 29 on the 14th).
The Bush administration seems to be literally falling apart. I usually hold my guns for the most part, but wow. It seems to be happening so fast I don't even know what to think.
The Delay-Rove-Reed-Norquist-Etc. connections. The looming indictments from Fitzgerald. The plummeting approval ratings (37% WTF).
I think this whole thing has just been so corrupt and interconnected for so long, that it's the proverbial house of cards. You take away just one of the cards and throw it in Federal prison, and...
I have no idea what's going to happen over the next few weeks, but you can bet I'm elated that it looks like were finally going to have fucking accountability in this country again.

Thoughts on Harriet Miers
Being the good political blogger, I've spent most of my time today thinking about Harriet Miers, and how her nomination to the SCOTUS could mark a turning point now and forever on the furture of precent in our legal system, and what our lower courts will now have to respect on precedent the SCOTUS now decides to frame on things like abortion, corporations, and other very contentious political issues threatening to tear our country apart like thousands of razor sharp claws, just tearing and ripping apart the very fabric of our nation, like a nation of buzzards with locust heads ripping with their talons, their teeth, into a single loose sheet of cheesecloth, and then drawing and quartering scattering said cheesecloth into all of the directions of the void.
And then I saw that the Lamb had opened the seventh seal, and I heard one of the four creatures say to me, with a voice of thunder, "Come and see..."
And behold! I came, and I saw...
Actually, I was listening to a bit of John Denver while I was writing this, and the larger issue on my mind right now is that John Denver really did have an obsession with all that rural shit, laffo? I mean, he never really wrote a song about Cambridge, MA, did he? All this shit about Colorado and fuckin' West Virginia, of all places. Kinda makes one think, doesn't it?
