The Bumper Of My SUV, Etc. Etc. Etc.
Chely Wright , the darling of the Pentagon, may have gotten the finger from another driver (and who hasn't,) but Denise Grier received a ticket for her bumper sticker. Denise is seeking damages for "emotional distress." I can't believe the government is fighting this. The policeman was wrong, law against profanity or no law. It wasn't even profanity, just a vulgar (but funny) joke. You gotta love the irony. I grew up near several military posts. We stopped the car, got out and pledged when the American flag was raised. So, my question is, "Why can't we all just get along?"
The Chicks made the news this week. You go girls.
Bush and Cheney can't get their stories straight. Are the Republicans going to keep control of Congress or not? What does Bush that Cheney doesn't?
Another election, and Chimpy is smirking, and with the the Macaca gendarme no less.
The WH has the video of his latest press conference. His facial expressions when he's talking about the Democrats and their position on terrorism do not mirror the seriousness of the terror issue. If you don't want to watch the whole thing the smirking starts around 33:00. Also watch the expression after he mentions Ayman al-Zawahiri. When he finishes answering the question and goes on to Mr. NPR, he looks positively gleeful, talking more about the Democrats. Who knows. As a photogenically challenged person myself, I won't judge. However, I'm going to hold him to the statement that the 600,000 civilian deaths were a made up exaggeration. He really should be more prepared and offer a revised figure. The press corp is on another walk-about.
I do know that with some pi$$ poor voting standards, it bears repeating that we may see more 51-49 results. I think having worthless standards is worse than no standards at all. It's unbelievable that the government bought voting machines with no standards while an ATM machine made by the same company was developed with strict protocols. With two separate groups (the IEEE and the NIST) working on developing a set of standards, why haven't we gotten reliable and verifiable machines yet, Senator Dodd? ¶ 11:53 AM
