Bush Goes after Democrats on Healthcare.  I especially like the part where he refers to himself as "fiscally prudent" . Yes, that fiscally prudent $300 billion plus that we've spent on the occupation of Iraq.  Why doesn't this man just shut up.  At least the Democrats attempted to make sure that children had medical coverage which is more than I can say for this moran.  Think what $300 billion could buy in healthcare. Not to mention education, housing, food, and other basic needs.  Please, please let us get to 01/20/09 as soon as possible.  I just can't take it anymore.

Have a Safe and Happy Halloween. Note: Don't try this at home.  I love that the guy actually puts under the picture *dummie hand.  It does look real.

Vincent DeDomenico died last week.  Who is Mr. DeDomenico, you ask?  I'll give you a hint - he invented the San Francisco treat, which was a staple at our dinner table when I was a kid.   That's rice-a-roni for those of you who weren't so lucky to be served it every single night.

San Franciso is dimming the lights tomorrow night in a city-wide effort to conserve energy.  They'll turn out non-essential lighting for one hour from 8-9pm.  Way to go S.F. You rock! And since I know Povertybarn will be participating - she rocks too!

Say hello to my new niece Elizabeth

Nut job, Ann Coulter is at it again. Now she thinks the U.S. would be better off if we were all Christian.  I have an idea for you, Ann.  Why don't you move to some very remote island and start your own utopia because the U.S. would be better off without you. 

Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace Prize.  BRAVO!

I will FIGHT for my RIGHT to VOTE

Ann Coulter, conservative Republican shill, wants to repeal the 19th Amendment.  Yes, the one that gives women the right to vote. According to Ms. Coulter (I'm sorry but I may have to change my first name) if women didn't vote we'd never have another Democratic President.    Wow, talk about desperation. Are the Republicans so scared that they won't be able to get a nominee back into office next November that they would start talking about repealing admendments? What's the matter - can't find a state that will go along with you messing with the voting machines?  Here's a thought -  maybe if you had given the country a Republican President that wasn't an embarrassment, spoke correctly, didn't lie, and was actually something other than evil than you wouldn't have to resort to bullshit like repealing the 19th Admentment. 

01/20/09 can't come soon enough

The shrub has really been on a roll lately when it comes to saying stupid things.  Here are my favorites in case you missed them.

While praising higher test scores, he said "Childrens do learn." Yes, but apparently W doesn't. 

There was also this gem:  "I heard somebody say, 'Where's Mandela?'," Mr Bush said. "Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas."  According to one article he meant it as an analogy. Ummm, ok. An anology that could only make sense in the shrub's head.  Good grief! The man can't speak in complete, grammatically correct sentences and now he's attemping analogies.
