“I told all four that there were going to be some times where we don’t agree with each other. But that’s okay. If this were a dictatorship, it’d be a heck of a lot easier– just as long as I’m the dictator.”
-Bush, on December 18th, 2000, after meeting with the leaders of the House and Senate.
Giuliana Sgrena is on “60 Minutes II” Wed. night, 8PM PDT. I hope someone who knows the case will review the preview article — “Italian Journalist: U.S. Lied” — and the interview.
And tonight there’s a broadcast about that darling little putz known as Karl Rove . . . if you can bear it. PBS at 9, I think.
Can’t wait. I love Frontline. However, I’m still in shock from last week’s Frontline about the extemist settlers in and around Israel. And I’m glad it’s on at 10PM on KCTS so I can watch my guilty pleasure show, “House” (Hugh Laurie is great).
Please don’t compare Mr. Rove to anything that lives in my pants and I won’t do the same for you. Why not call him a Kocker Arbiter?
C’mon dude. Your pants? I called him a little–emphasis on little–little putz. Related to you in no way, shape, or um, size, I’m sure.

In case you missed it, there is a vote going on in this diary over which blog is to get the coveted Frog award from the famous Booman Tribune! Free advertising and horizon expanding for booland and the chosen blog… win/win.
And… so far, it’s neck and neck, between two blogs. Oh, the excitement! (which some are possibly missing). Okay, so there are only two votes so far, but still… don’t miss out on casting your vote.
Go now, today, and have your say.
You must vote or the frog won’t float.
::(and the ultimate inducement)::
I’ll do more poems if you’re not soon a’goin’.
/end shameless diary promotion.
Awesome! I voted, but I don’t think I helped determine a winner.
well no, lol. but now at least we have a four way race going on ;).
Thanks for voting! (I knew threat of more bad rhyming would do the trick ;).
Make it a five-way tie. Sorry…
I see more bad poetry in my future…
Thanks for voting! 🙂

From the ever-punchy The Onion
Booman wrote a warning about last week’s conference led by the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration.
Sam Seder just mentioned the conference, and said that so far he and his staff can’t find a single Judeo who attended.
Yeah, funny how that works. Christians claim to be Judeo-same, but why would Jews want to claim kinship with Christians?
Isn’t the whole point of being Jewish that they’re still waiting for the Messiah? I mean, I’m a Jesus girl and all that, but I think it’s kind of presumptuous to just wrap my blanket around a whole race and claim it as a kind of subset.
LIVING WILL I, _________ (fill in the blank), being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of peckerwood politicians who couldn’t pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it.
If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to sit up and ask for a cold beer, it should be presumed that I won’t ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my spouse, children and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.
Under no circumstances shall the members of the Legislature enact a special law to keep me on life-support machinery. It is my wish that these boneheads mind their own damn business, and pay attention instead to the health, education and future of the millions of Americans who aren’t in a permanent coma.
Under no circumstances shall any politicians butt into this case. I don’t care how many fundamentalist votes they’re trying to scrounge for their run for the presidency in 2008, it is my wish that they play politics with someone else’s life and leave me alone to die in peace. I couldn’t care less if a hundred religious zealots send e-mails to legislators in which they pretend to care about me. I don’t know these people, and I certainly haven’t authorized them to preach and crusade on my behalf. They should mind their own business, too.
If any of my family goes against my wishes and turns my case into a political cause, I hereby promise to come back from the grave and make his or her existence a living hell.

The Rachel Maddow Show Blog
Fear not, faithful listeners! Dr. Rachel Maddow is in the midst of creating the most important, attitudinal, well-informed, edgiest news hour you’ve ever heard in your life. The Rachel Maddow Show (working title) will be the kick-start you need in the morning to stay informed, win at the water cooler and annoy your Republican relatives. Rachel’s show will air from 5am to 6am (Eastern Standard Time), Monday through Friday on the Air America Radio Network.

Welcome to MaddowOnline.com!
Welcome, friends, countrymen, Romans exhausted by hungry papal pilgrims!
The Rachel Maddow Show starts this Thursday, April 14th at 5AM (Eastern) on Air America Radio. I’ve been chomping at the bit to get back on the air since Unfiltered was replaced by Springer on the Radio on April 1st. (Isn’t it funny how the website keeps posting that it’s “Springer on the Radio: hosted by Rachel Maddow and Chuck D”)?
Can someone convert my logo (Darwin the BooFrog) into a file that is 150 x 200 pixels, and no more than 16 kb? I need it for advertising for the site, and I am incompentent in such things.
If you can wait a bit, Darcy can do it. She’s not home yet. She has both Photoshop and Illustrator on her Mac laptop. I don’t.
cool. That’s excellent.
Frontline was good BTW.
I already sent him one that may work. it was 160/120 as I could not get the exact size he asked for, there was no option for that.
