That's about right

Ultimate driving mach--BOOM.

I'm mostly just sad that they destroyed a perfectly good beemer.

Universitas Papum

Fantastic Pope Joe has already started interfering with world politics again. It wasn't enough that he had to butt into our business during the 2004 election, now he has to do and dick around with the Spaniards, too?

[The Pope] said Roman Catholic officials should be prepared to lose their jobs rather than co-operate with the law.

Genius! With one statement, he firmly planted his chuch's foot in 1605, while advocating a welfare state! "If we don't wanna work 'cause you let gay people be equal, then we don't have to!"

Old, and unimproved!

Hey, the Cardinals changed their uniforms. Now they can suck in style!

One step Forward, a bunch of steps back.

I love conservative Republicans. "If you're not 100% with us, you're a traitor!

Wife: Honey, were you watching C-SPAN today? Did you hear how disloyal Senator Voinovich was to Republicans and President Bush? Voinovich stood with the Democrats and refused to vote for John Bolton, the man President Bush has chosen to fight for the United States at the UN

Husband: No, I was streaming it on the Internet at the office, but from what I could tell, Senator Voinovich played hookey from the hearings?

Wife: Yeah that’s right. He’s missed most of the Bolton confirmation hearings, but then shows up at the last minute and stabs the President and Republicans right in the back.

Husband: That’s ridiculous – the United Nations needs reform, we need someone who will stand up for the United States and fight the UN’s corruption and anti-Americanism.

Come on. This man has absolute contempt for the UN (of which, granted, a bit is warranted), has no understanding of or use for international law, and is a complete ass to boot. He is about as qualified for this job as Karen Hughes.

Sweet potato pie, and I shut my mouth.

Six die in Arkansas mobile home fire

HUMPHREY, Arkansas (AP) -- Flames roared through a mobile home, killing five young boys and the mother of two of the youngsters, authorities said. No one escaped.

[...]

John Whiteside clutched a cigarette in one hand and a Mountain Dew soda in the other, and a police officer walked up and hugged him. Rachel Whiteside, a few steps back, screamed "Oh, my babies! My babies are gone!"

His kids just died a fiery death, and Dad is smoking and drinking a Dew while Mom screams her head off.

If that doesn't say "white trash", I dunno what does.

Dear God...

Karen Brauer, president of Pharmacists for Life, told the Reuters news agency. The group provides legal advice and support to pharmacists.

Brauer told Reuters she believes doctors will eventually begin ordering women to abort disabled children, or refuse to treat them after birth.

"They'll force women to kill their children ... It will be like China. It's the next logical step," she told Reuters.

Holy crap. Is this woman crazy? (my guess - Yes).

Birth control is not abortion. It will not lead to abortion. If you think either of these things, you are insane. Period. Birth control, if anything, keeps the number of abortions down. And if you deny people access to or education about birth control, the number of unwanted preganancies - and abortions! - rise.

Only one of these statements is probably true.

In 2 years, it will be 2007.

In 2 years, the U.S. will be out of Iraq.

Gee. Where have I heard that before?

By pretending it doesn't exist?

Bolton Pledges to Help Strengthen U.N.

Uh huh.

I was amused, however, that there were actually several Bolton protestors at his hearing. I find that really fitting.

And the Mom of the Year award goes to...

I can't believe that a mother would actually let her 13 year old son sleep with a 40 year old man. And this isn't "sleep with" as in poke. It's sleep in the same bed. I just cannot fathom the thought process that had to be involved in this. I honestly cannot imagine she's telling the truth. And if she is, she should be hauled into jail. That's got to be criminal negligence regarding a minor.

Doesn't it?

You've got commercials.

XM radio has joined forces with AOL.

Just another line on a long list why if I ever do plunk down the money for satellite radio, it's going to be Sirius.

I dunno about '08, but...

I was watching Hillary on C-Span over the weekend, and I have to say that it looks like she's actually pretty competent. I just wish the overwhelming conservative response wouldn't kill everyone within a 15 mile radius.
