Some politics and South Park stuff all god fearing people should care about.

The Washington Post hired a guy to do an opinion column who has called Coretta Scott King a commie and has a family tied to the GOP and even the Abramoff bribes. The online column is called Red States and they claim this was done to bring balance to the paper. Daily Kos We’re in the looking glass here people and Orwell is staring in from the outside at us and shaking his head sadly.

Knight Ridder is reporting on a pretty legitimate claim of an American Massacre of Iraqi women and children at a house north of Baghdad last week. Iraqi police are among those attaching their names to a complaint that seems to have some corrobarating evidence behind it.

“The American forces gathered the family members in one room and executed 11 persons, including five children, four women and two men,” the report said. “Then they bombed the house, burned three vehicles and killed their animals.”

Alot of these reports are exaggerated but certainly there have been some atrocities committed. If this one is true it’s another Mai Lai and an example of what happens to people that have been trained to kill and often come from troubled backgrounds when they are let loose in a place without laws or order.

Helen Thomas was awesome yesterday at Bush’s press conference. That is why she goe 3 years without Bush calling on her. And why does anyone have to be called on? The president is our public servant and the media are supposed to be our watchdogs. So shouldn’t every media venue automatically get their chance to speak whether Bush or any other President want’s to talk to them? Granted you can’t have every media outlet in there asking questions. What should be done is to have a rotating cross representation that includes the whole gamut of the political spectrum with everyone in the room that day getting their chance. While we’re at it the president should have to stand before the people every month and take questions. Non-screened people without questions given to them by administration spin Dr’s.

Great to see Bush still finding the war so funny at the press conference. This idiots lack of persective or decency is a true testimony to his mother and father. What absolute atrocities of wealth and privelage they are. Yeah Jesus would have loved these folks.

Watched som School House Rock with a 13 year old today and man did it just reiterate waht geniuses the guys who put those together were. The lyrics, the music, the learning, it’s all there and comes together in a way that seems effortless and damn catchy. It’s been said that they defined a generation and that’s ok with me.

A Republican Senator on Bush and Team America The World Police: “”They want to do just as they please, for as long as they can get away with it,” Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I think what is going on now without congressional intervention or judicial intervention is just plain wrong.” Yahoo Ding Ding Ding!

South Park premiered new eps tonight and immediately dealt with Isaac Hayes departure. I don’t know how they put this stuff together so fast but man are they brilliant. Sick and twisted. But brilliant. Very clever and funny way of dealing with his absence while still ending the Chef’s storyline in a fittingly ignominious way that made clear allusions to the events of the past week that Kyle mentions and to a sick group that brainwashed and twisted the Chef’s mind. The group is a bunch of League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen type really made of pedophiles that stands in for the scientologist Kyle is clearly referencing. You have to see how they do this without Hayes and the final scenes for yourself if you haven’t. I can’t do it justice. A very fitting and clever end for a once great man and a still great show.

Hillary Clinton said the following to Immigration advocates in regard to legislation designed to stop immigration: “It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures,” Clinton said, “because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself.”

Ok it’s official, not only is she dead to me, but she’s fucking Karl Rove. Revenge for Monica? You make the call.

I’m half way through tonights Lost and the only thing that’s happened is that I have confirmed that Sun is a damn sexy woman and that the islan heals people, a fact i already knew. Come to think of it I already knew both these things though the opportunity to see Sun in negligee on a 50 inch screen was much appreciated.

I really hope I’m not coming across as pathetic being at Barnes N Noble as much as I am. But considering there are 2 or 3 people I always see there, not counting the homeless woman that’s always there sleeping, my 2-3 times a week might not look so bad compared to them. It’s a safe guess they are there much more. And where does that woman go when they close? It’s cold out there.

This is far more sad than my being into a woman who works there who didn’t give me a second glance. It is also more sad than the fact that another woman who works there that is far younger and cuter but less appealing because of that, does make alot of eye contact with me.

I’m sad but I’m not homeless on a 20 degree night. So I can’t complain. I want to talk to all three of these women for different reasons but don’t know what to say. The homeless woman in particular is hard to approach because I’d just be some little pissant voyeur trying to make myself feel better by not ignoring the plight of someone less fortunate who I can’t do a damn thing to help.

This inability to talk to people and express waht I feel or take chances will all seem silly someday. Humans do alot of this inner head game stuff that wisdom later shows was stupid and a waste. We know this. And yet many of us do it. Why is that?
