It’s A Wonderful Bush
"A lot of people in America think there is a vault — and banks take the money you deposit then hold it for you until you want it back and then they give it back to you. But that’s not the way it works. There is no money in the vault, just IOUs that I saw firsthand." – George Bush, … Read More
Sen. Cornyn Licks Up His Own Vomit
Texas senator John Cornyn, discussed by me earlier, has decided to "clarify" his remarks.

Why Are You Banging Your Head Against The Wall? Because It Feels Good When I Stop!
It took me a long time, but I have slowly come to accept the fact that I am no longer . . . well . . . young. And I am cool with that. Especially when young people get into doing shit like this ritual, known as "suspension": Tony Troiano grimaced as he was lifted off the floor by giant … Read More

Florida Law and the Right to Kill
No, not another post about Schiavo. It’s about this: TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
