So what's in a name?


"Biographical history, as taught in our public schools, is still largely a history of boneheads: ridiculous kings and queens, paranoid political leaders, compulsive voyagers, ignorant generals; the flotsam and jetsam of historical currents." ~ Martin Gardner

So the Preznit isn't the only Bush in trouble, fancy that?

Seems as if Heisman Trophy Winner was a little premature on his arrangements for financing and other matters before getting drafted into the pros. Will an investigation of USC follow? Who knows?

Especially since this years QB has been sidelined due to of campus activities, this same week. Come on guys, keep 'em in, keep your head on your shoulders. These rich donors are paying gazillions of $$$'s for your scholarship and the facilities for you to train in to play on Saturdays, preparing for a possible career on Sundays. So don't blow it!!!!

Now on to important stuff. Rove, fifth time, oops. Darn the walls are tumbling down, the sky is falling, the emperor has no clothes, the "Snow" will soon be 'melting' and Cheney is again sleeping in the hallway during the breaks in coverage.

Rummy and Rice, no not a new dish from Emeril's but from the Neocon Nueve Cocina visited (unannounced) Iraqmire this week, to not so rave reviews.

Gasoline prices went up almost as fast as the profits of the Oil Companies and the salaries of their executives. And I thought to get screwed you had to go to the Watergate Hotel in Washington with "duke" cunningham and other, yet unnamed associates.

Usual Suspects, Faux Press Secretary

"Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit." ~ Edward R. Murrow

It has been "leaked" that a Fox News anchor may become the Presidential Press Secretary, well at least now he will get paid for doing the job he has been doing for the last several years. You know like letting a Fox in the Whitehouse, oh they already had that thing going on. We must just be like Alice in Wonderland and ignore the jabberwocky, once it begins. This will be an interesting change of events if any.

Gather all of the names, put them into one big pile and pull out a likely suspect, that seems to be the way the Creative Inferance Agency does things now days. At least in the case of the supposed "leaker" of information last week. Now it seems, she was just up for retirement and they did not want to pay it, sounds kind of conservative to me, how about you?

Las Vegas Line: Bush Drops-Gas Prices Rise!

"The stories that made up America and the stories that America made up." ~ Robert Wuhl

What had happened was the decider made a deal with the devil, no that was with the religious right, no the oil companies, darn I can't keep this straight anymore. Well he was supposed to stay up in the polls and the price of gas was to stabilize, but as Zero Mostel once said, "a funny thing happened on the way to the forum". Things got on a turntable and someone put the plug in backward or hardwired the device wrong, 'cause its spinning out of control.

The Oil Exec's are getting fatter, our wallets are getting thinner, and the oil in the middle east is NOT paying for the WAHR ON TERA, like we were told. Well with oil approaching $80 per barrel, I guess the oil has a chance of eventually paying for the war, but only if the exec's stop getting the platinum parachutes when they retire or leave to take a consulting job with Haliburton/KBR. Or maybe they can get a job as a HR specialist for Wally-World, since they work so hard at pleasing their employees.

Conservatives, republicans, libertarians, and populists never have worked well together because they really don't believe in the same things. They were just confused into thinking they could get along for a few years. Good Ole boys never will understand that they didn't come from 'merica to begin with, they were brought here on a ship either as an indentured servant or as personnel chattel of some conservative aristocrat. Democracy is not for the faint of heart, it takes daily involvement, exercising of the brain; and not listening to some spouting neo-republican-conservative-xenophobe-drug addict that cannot maintain a monogamous relationship of any kind due to personality defects.

"Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence." ~ Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what." ~ Harper Lee
