It's our Party: we bought it, we own it. we'll cry if we want to.

* inevitable: ""I can't for the life of me understand why Kerry isn't fighting harder for this. Maybe it's some secret Skull and Bones tradition, where you're not supposed to show up the other guy," Arnebeck said" Arnebeck is not a complete weirdo btw. HLS et al. (despite the s&b quote being given prominence). separately, the dismissive nature of these articles is enuff to drive me batty. at least there are some articles, i guess. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-vote12dec12,0,7920965.story?coll=la-home-nation

* "One of the unlikely heroes of the Ukraine uprising is a state television sign language interpreter, who began signing on air that the telecast was lies and that she wouldn't go along with it any longer. Inspired by her actions, 200 journalists for the state-run TV and radio vowed to no longer act as the government's mouthpiece. How many bland White House assertions that the sky is green and grass is pink would it take to drive someone at Fox News to denounce the status quo like that?" http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1211-25.htm

* josh has more and more on kerik www.talkingpointsmemo.com

* there was some recent legislation passed where families can taxdeduct the cost of buying armour when they send it to their famgrunts in iraq.

* arse/chelsea was pretty sweet. the highlight was mourionho's reaction when johnterry scored. does arsenal have the best eye for talent? how bout dem youngsters? is drogba the sexiest footballer in england?

* "Clarence Thomas is one of the few jurists today, conservative or otherwise, who understands and defends the principle that our rights come not from government but from a "creator"" http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/sunday/commentary/la-oe-kranna12dec12,1,4469435.story?coll=la-sunday-commentary

* "Pentagon Ousts Official Under FBI Investigation: John A. 'Jack' Shaw, a deputy undersecretary accused of trying to help friends win contracts in Iraq, portrays himself as a whistle-blower." heres a nice story - itll be interesting to see which version of it is true - if the guy really is a whistleblower then i hope he blows it really really loud - cos im sure he knows lots of secrets.

* "More Votes than Voters in Ohio: Absentee Vote Inflated, Certified Vote in Doubt" (this is jsut a pressrelease at the mo - but it could be 'the one' if its real/true/valid) http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/WO0412/S00154.htm

* i have new chicks! they are about 5cm long. vcute. im not sure how many yet.
