* amysullivan laughs at blinky. apparently he tried to call the redlake folk to offer concolences, but he only got voicemail. LINK

* its kinda funny that libs are getting called Death-luvvers while there are pix of a bloody jc on a cross everywhere and melgibsonsthepassion flagellative is on high-rotation

* watching the glee on timrusserts mug discussing religion is frightening. does everyone have the god virus?

* "Senate Foreign Relations Chair Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) scheduled hearings for April 7 on the confirmation of John Bolton as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations." LINK

* i just rewatched the frist video where he did the aids/tears&sweats thing - the funny thing was that stephanopolous even asked him the question.

* speaking of hersh, in my post on the nyt exonerating dicky perle, i meant to mention that he bullied hersh and called him a terrorist and tried/threatened to sue him. rebecca picks up that point (in ref to my post) and suggests that is why the media is being so nice to him. id prolly argue that the media response would have been exactly the same regardless of the hersh incident.

* the fbi didnt quite tell the truth about flying saudis out of am post 911 LINK

* "For all of Tom DeLay's public espousal of Christian values, particularly his deep commitment to family, he privately has nursed a terrible estrangement from his own mother and three siblings." LINK

"Bush's motive for pushing so hard on Social Security reform is more mysterious. But the possibility of idealism must be entertained, because any cynical motive for threatening Social Security seems so far-fetched. The explanation can't be Bush's official one..."

jeepers! far-fetched? how about wall-street fees for example? (hint - look at the bankruptcy bill.)

* " The state's highest court ruled on Thursday that the Bloomberg administration must release the New York City Fire Department's oral history of the Sept. 11 attack, but said the city could withhold portions that would cause "serious pain or embarrassment" to the fire officials interviewed." LINK
its a shame they wont be able to get those FAA tapes that were destroyed...

* months back i mentioned that the anti-gay marriage law had some (presumably) unintended side-effects - like justifying/excusing domestic (non-married) violence. we have our first victim. LINK

* quick question for the fetusfolk: how do u feel about china's one-child policy? imagine the gas-prices today if they didnt have it yesterday. imagine the likelihood of your kid ever having a job.
