So the poker playing bitches have finally showed their hands.

Libby is giving up Cheney, Cheney is claiming executive privilage to declassify information, and Bush isn't in the game. We gave him some pretzels and he's enjoying a DVD of Teletubbies right now.

I call bullshit.

Telling only one member of the press, in secret, and asking to be identified only as a "former hill staffer", all in order to further a purely political agenda...

is NOT how you declassify information, Dick.

There was an editorial in USA Today basically calling for Cheney to resign. The guy is such a scary, nasty, nogood piece of shit that after reflecting a bit on the editorial, I now agree, Cheney should resign. But why stop there? There's cheeky Donny Rumsfield, who you can thank for the new round of Abu Ghraib photos, and the horrors portrayed within, which are now streaking their way through the Arab media outlets, inciting and inflaming oh 1000- no- let's say 20,000 extremist suicide freaks to come kill us all.
Good work there, Don.
Let's see here, oh got it- look: the terrorism list maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center grew to a whopping 325,000 individuals last year. That's 4 times the size of the list since 2003. We wouldn't be upset if a foreign government imprisoned me, you, and our fellow citizens, tortured us physically, spiritually, and sexually; humiliated us with dogs and feces, and in some cases murdered us . . . and then the foreign guards took photos, smiling and laughing as they did it- "just like summer camp" one guard said. No, you wouldn't have any problem with that would you, America?
Well, if I may be so bold, I have a big fucking problem with it.
So fuck you Donald Rumsfield, fuck you Dick Cheney, I don't even have to tell you, Bush . . .
Just remember folks, failure and incompetence is the name of the game. Maintain an endless war a la' 1984, drain the coffers of the country into debt, then say you can't afford to fund the social programs and saftey nets and cut them; all the while failing to educate your youth, have all power be controlled by a few corporations, and run this mutherfucking democracy into the ground. Doesn't anyone see? They WANT you to lose faith in representitive government. To make you get so angry that you give up hope and lose faith in the system.
DON'T LOSE HOPE!
Remember, we hire and fire these bozos, so be prepared to vote in the upcoming elections!
I guess I had some other shit to say, but after that rant, I feel better, so I'm off.
Ta Ta!

So Erin is really keen on having her picture on the internets so here it is:



And if that weren't enough, the Massachusetts courts ruled today that Wallmart must carry the morninng after pill.

Hey all . . . you ever been on the precipice of something fantastic, but you're teetering on the brink . . . almost falling right in? What was that big desert sand pit in Star Wars? With the teeth at the bottom . . . ? Hanging by your fingernails, as they say. What then? I don't know. Getting gnashed up by nasty sand teeth, or being sucked into something you don't want to face. Not something you don't want to DO, but something you are loathe to face, to adress. Life is full of these conundrums, it seems.
Foretuneatley, I am building a secret passage in my home to hide out in; with tinns of spam and a few trained squrles. The trained squriles are for running messages here and there- as well as a fallback in case the spam runs low. Odd nicknacks abound . . . rusty pocketwatches and dented tubas. Other vermin scuttle across the waterwarped wooden floor, replete with mint green, tulip sprouting moss that occupies over fifty percent of the room. A good hideout, I say! I need to hit the post office and get some new 39 cent stamps they be sellin'. Don't throw your 37 cent stamps out though! As I learned just the other day, you can take pre-postal rate self adressed mail to your local post office and they will only ask for 2 cents to send that old stamped envelope! See, that's how I operate. "Why have I never gotten a letter from you Larry?" you ask. Well, the answer is simple enough . . . I HAVE written you . . . yet it is preposted and sitting in my darning hamper at this very moment, ready to be sent out in May 2013, just as planned.
Everyone is so impatient these days.
Geeze.
So again . . . I've written the letters, they are adressed and stamped. But the sentiment which is contained within each and every envelope (there are over 1300) will not make contextual sense until the date I have prescribed.
Sorry. Rest assured, they were all licked shut with love.
So for those of you who think I have been quiet, whos lips are now silenced? For those who think I have been blind, whos eyes are now soddered shut with the blinding revalation of the truthiness I now speak? And for those who are beholden to none- masters of thier own domain . . . here are



And here is the Dune Emulator.
Josh and I are working on setting up a game. So if this sounds like friday night magic to you, get the game and leave a comment here. I still should mention that Josh and I have an ongoing Civ 4 competition going strong and would like to invite any participents to join out maelee, as it is free and fun as hell. But this Dune game looks fun and what the hell- let's give it a go.
Okay, off to the post office. Maybe I'm sending your letter!
Hey- I just thought of something . . . anyone want to see pictures of the 1906 San Fransisco earthquake, photographed bt Jack London? Me too!
Park City is supposed to get like 4-6 inches tonight, that should be fun. And speaking of fun . . . check out these Polish movie posters from the 70's and 80's. Now take a minuite and really look at these posters. At first they are silly, but after a small reflection, they are quite appealing to the eye. In fact, I prefer most of them to their Americain counterparts. Good desktop background fodder, I say.
I'm supposed to put a picture of Erin and I here. But like Lemmony Snicket, (of which i am on book the second) we remain face less to the world.
The potatos are cooking, and Erin will be home soon. Ryan just went on the other line with me and the phone hung up. +Hot Beans

Its a story as old as time itself.

Power -> Hubris -> Downfall

Asked in June 2004 if he'd stand by his pledge to fire anyone found to have leaked Plames cover, Bush replied yes. [Bush Press Conference: Savannah, GA, 6/10/04]

Libby testified that Cheney told him about Plame "in an off sort of, curiosity sort of, fashion," according to other information recently unsealed in federal court.
It's impeachment time, folks!


Check out this guys 3-D sidewalk drawings. Awesome!

-----> This article gives me a chuckle every time I read it. You should go read it. Like now. <-----


Archaeologists have unearthed a monumental staircase, a statue of an athlete and what appears to be a headless sphinx.


Meanwhile, another group of sweaty, competitive, chaotic-evil archaeologists have unearthed a 3,000-year-old skeleton of a man who appears to be clutching a dagger. Next to him are small metal disks covered with a charcoal residue . . . a lantern perhaps?

Oh yeah, Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin would like to remind anyone who even cares anymore, Bush has blatantly broken the law with domestic warrentless spying. “The President is not a king,” he said. “And the Congress is not a king’s court. Our job is not to stand up and cheer when the President breaks the law. Our job is to stand up and demand accountability, to stand up and check the power of an out-of-control executive branch.”

Bravo, good Sir. Bravo.

Crooks- the lot of 'em.
Let's not forget that Cheney was at Coretta Scott King's funeral giving standing ovations whenever someone said what a brave and great woman she was. But as a congressman from Wyoming in 1979 his vote against making Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday helped block the legislation. He should have been ashamed to show his face there. The only way justice can truly be served is if Cheney and his assorted puppets and accomplices were drug naked through the streets, then doused in heavy crude and set on fire somewhere on the national mall.

Anyway, life is good here in PC. No more movie star frenzy BS. Anyone out there watch Curb Your Enthusiasim? And if so, seen the new seson? Is it good? I probably already said this but Erin and I got Netflix, which, IMHO, rocks. I'm waiting for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Rivers Edge. :P

Now I'm going to play some Urban Terror. Bye!
