Bush = Loser
Bush should do the honorable thing and go back to Texas and drink poison. He is clearly a liar with a thin grasp on reality. If it were not for the neoCons (many of whom may well face war crimes charges in the future) he would not have any thoughts. If the media spins the first debate to favor Bush, we will know it is thoroughly corrupt, and not worth a thin dime.
The Unfeeling President
Josh sends us to
read Ted Rall. I say
read E. L. Doctorow. The latter is a blistering, but extremely well written, blast at Bush and all he represents.
Failure
Does anyone wonder where the images have gone? The old images are toast - hard drive failure and no easily found backup. Soon I will fix this and all will be well.

Barb is in Greece, visiting the site of the ancient Olympics. Quite nice, I hear. Also visiting Thanasis' home in Kalamata. Small farm with many goats, if Effie is to be believed. Later Barb, Effie et al. will make their way to Idra, Dorothy's island. A place with no cars. Wouldn't life be nice without cars? I could easily go without the 120 mile commute each day.
Lib is in NYC at Carnegie Hall to see her friend Abra (and many others) in the Vermont Youth Symphony Orchestra. Quite the do in Vermont as the locals have their burst of fame. I hope all goes well. Abra is off to Spain for a four month visit, after the concert. I hope she does well there, amongst the Spaniards (in the works, eh).
In a few days we will know if sister Beth and Brother-in-law Chuck's condo in Destin, FL, is still in one piece. Chuck, at least, is calm, in part since he is not in Destin at the moment.
On the political front, it is clear that Bush and cohorts are nothing more than simple liars. Lies about his National Guard record ( not wanting to become cannon fodder is fine, denying the truth of it is unforgiveable), lies about being compassionate in any known sense of the word, lies about the favors he paid to the Saudis after the NYC attacks (giving them a free pass while all other waited for the skys to be opened), lies about weapons of mass destruction, lies about reasons for attacking Iraq, lies about torture and the antecedents to same (making up terms like "enemy combatant, as if they mean anything), lies about the economy and his tax policies, lies about nearly everything. Need I point out that Bush is a liar. Perhaps Kerry should make a point of this (that Bush is a liar, get it?) in his campaign.
The best protest
If you didn't know, now you do - the best political, or any other kind, of protest in NYC during the RNC can be found
here, with an up-to-date report
here. Dance, dance, dance until those uptight Republican liars drop in their tracks, hearts stopped by such an outpouring of joy. The Republicans surely are losers, and Bush is their king.
