Only one line in my speech for you today.  Several for political purposes though.  

Any reasonable Congress-person who will hear it.

With all due respect.

A bunch of fucking little league baseball players playing in the Superbowl.  This is all you've got?  Censure??  You guys are NOT UP TO THE TASK.  We need to draft some real players.  One's that will put their padding on and play the fucking game instead of running out into the field waiting for the ball to come to them.  It's the wrong game you stupid assholes.

Update:  Yeah, it reads a little wacked out.  But I was very tired when I started, and very angry as I wrote this.  I never thought I would say this, but I feel like I'm losing faith in my Party.  For some reason I thought my party would be more direct.  Instead I feel like it's full of a bunch of wishy washy flippity floppity wet handshakers.  WTF.  I don't like the fact that I am beginning to understand the "Democrats are weak" meme, and it's taking root.
WTF happened to Ross Perot?

A nice young college age guy knocked on our door yesterday.  He was a representative from Green Mountain Energy spreading the real gospel (good news).  I used to have a very nice contract with Direct Energy in Houston, but it expired last fall.  Now I'm getting probed deeper than I ever have if you know what I mean.  It was on my to do list to find an altenative, so when the GM guy showed up I sat down with him and we went over my bill.

Jonathan Miller is not someone known here in the United States.  That should change.  In England he is a well known television presenter.  He is widely respected enough to have been knighted in 2002.

Earlier in his career he was a popular theatre and opera director.  And before that he studied science and medicine at Cambridge, serving for a few years as a medical doctor afterwards.  He has professed a love of science, particularly biology, throughout his life and has been recognized as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.  Clearly a diverse and extremely intelligent man.

Mr. Miller has offered his talents of presenting and gifts of keen intellectual conversationalism in a 3 part series that was shown on the BBC in 2004 titled "A Brief History of Disbelief".

I don't have the capability to do this all by myself.  

In order to help explain where we are coming from in the Nevada Democratic primary debate context I think it would help to give a sampling of just why pretty much all of us here don't believe Fox News is an honest news outlet.  

Sure, they are the largest.  But that doesn't mean they are the a legitimate news organization.  Here is a good example of how that kind of thing can happen:

Here it is actually happening:

Good morning everyone!  I am a huge fan of the online video revolution.   I found some good videos last night I want to share with the new DKos video sharing syntax thingy.

I know there is a great spirtual battle going on these days between the believer and the non-believer, with the booms, snapping, and screaming sounds of the front lines coming from the area of evolution.  I am one who has always maintained there is no direct conflict between evolution and the Bible.  Whatever side of the line you start on, I believe it is in everyone's best interests to educate themselves as completely as possible to the matter of the debate.  Know your enemy as they say, if you want to get that passionate about it.  I don't.

You won't see a video you put up until you publish or post your text though! A little more after fold.

Tonight, Madam Speaker, My Fellow Americans...

I'm up early this morning, as I often am, curiously and somewhat hopefully watching the morning news and their web sites for school closings, particularly the school where my wife teaches.  I live in Houston, and we have ice on the ground and roads this morning, as we did yesterday morning.  A very bizarre event to say the least.  Schools have been closing everywhere because the roads are dangerous and drivers don't know how to handle the ice.  Unfortunately it looks like I'll be driving my wife in to work today; I'm from Wisconsin so I know what to expect in the roads a little better.

I began to wonder where all of this cold air is coming from.  I have movies of my wingnut brother-in-law in my head saying "so there is your global warming.  Haha!".  Surely there must be some explanation.  Science wouldn't fail me.  Wingnuttery delusions couldn't triumph what I thought was the truth [of global warming] again this late in the game.  Not after November!

Heh heh!

update: "Sorry to throw a wet blankie on this little blogfire..."but its been pointed out to me the story above has been debunked. But the translation I offer of Bush's most recent attention getting message for us came before I saw the article. So I'm still wagering. Any takers?

I predict Bush will attack Iran after the congressional elections.  He knows an attack before would affect the election dramatically, so he'll not foul it for the Republicans any more than he has.  

Anyways, Hillary Clinton would make a great President. These wings were to die for.  My summer was in a culinary paradise.  Then it all ended.

The dramatic scene is at the beginning.

OK, we all know what he said and did.
Well, if you didn't, here it is again:

in Breaks, Virginia (very very rural Virginia, deep in the Appalachian Mountains.  George Bush could spend the rest of his presidency clearing brush up here - hint, hint George)

But I'm not sure all of us know why he said it.  I wasn't convinced at first.  Some say he said it arrogantly; others say it appears to be a genuine introduction.  I had a hard time believing he was mocking Sidarth.  

But then it sets in.  Unless spoken by someone younger than a 5 year old, there may be ignorance, but there is no doubt as to the grownup meaning of the word "macaca":
