Well, it seems little Bush had to run back from his month-long vacation to tell the oil companies not to gouge consumers. Meanwhile, Georgia governor Sonny Perdue signed an executive order authorizing state sanctions against gas retailers who price gouge.
Now let's read the NY Times editorial on Bush's impotent response to the tragedy in New Orleans. Note the part on global warming. Remember those four hurricanes that all hit Florida in the span of a month? I think I see a pattern. Now let's read how the Bush administration and Congress in recent years have repeatedly denied full funding for hurricane preparation and flood control.
Sorry!
heh, heh . . .
To busy repealing the estate tax for people who were born with a sliver spoon in their mouth.
I see.
I just want to state to the world right now, and especially Hugo Chavez, as I know this is one of his favorite blogs, I feel that someone should, and I would be happy if someone did, assasinate president Bush. Thanks Pat Robertson, I can now express my compassionate conservatisim with renewed vigor and strength. And as I know, they have word filters, and the CIA/FBI will read this- so fuck you all- you spook cocksuckers.
Ahhh . . .
That felt good.
And in other news, here are some tree facts. It never hurts to know more about our stalwart friends- the trees! With all that 'Inteligent Design' and creationist BS out there in the courts right now, it's comforting to know scientists have deciphered the DNA of the chimpanzee! At least to me, this confirms Darwins theory of evoloution. Not that we know why (aliens?), but we diverged genetically from chimps about 6,000,000 years ago. Exciting, I say. And what about that hot spot on Enceladus? What causes it? Let's send a probe, let's check it out!
Now here's an interesting case of covert racisim. By the media- who woulda thunk it?!? The Associated Press decides to caption their pictures diffrently, based on, what looks like to me, skin color alone. You be the judge.
I went on a nice long hike today in the Uintas, the big ass mountain range behind where I live. It's so beautiful and peaceful to be out in the trees, cool wind on your brow, and a beautiful girl and clever little dog to share it with. My soul, which has been so scattered and frayed by the past decade, is again learning to accept peace and security (mixed with a little happiness) onto itself, and I am thankful for that. So anyway, we were hiking up to this ute, and we somehow stumbled upon a giant field of tall green plants, which, using my eighth-grade biology schooling, I immediatley identified as marijuana. No, I'm joking, but read here about the rampant plant growing going on right around me. I feel like I'm living in an episode of Dragnet!
I have been listening to way too much Warren Zevon recently. Strangely, he's on the radio right now. The local DJ in Park City is playing three in a row. I might just call him and tell him he made my night. :) To me, Zevon has alot of cheesy songs and then just fucking brilliant tunes. You gotta filter through it. Anyone heard of the New Pornographers? Ryan said he just got the new one, and it's great. I need to get into a new band in which either (A)the guy's not dead, or (B)at least the band is still touring.
Okay all, I hope I brought a smile to your face, or at least a wry chuckle.
Live it up- it's all you got.
Larry signing off.
