Aloha

PJ opened with this song tonight. How do I know? Because I heard it (and almost the whole show) on my cell phone.

The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back...can't let you roam inside my head
I don't want to take what you can give...
I would rather starve than eat your bread...
I would rather run but I can't walk...
Guess I'll lie alone just like before...

I'll take the varmint's path...oh, and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist...this behavior's not unique
I don't want to hear from those who know...
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes...
I don't want to limp for them to walk...
Never would have known of me before...
I don't want to be held in your debt...
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed...
I'm already cut up and half dead...
I'll end up alone like I began...

Everything has chains...absolutely nothing's changed

Aloha

Republican Work Ethic

Waaah. Waaah.

The mean Democratic leadership is going to make the Congressional Republicans show up to work.

Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) -- one of the worst from the old GOP Congress -- on why working for a living is against family values: "Keeping us up here eats away at families. Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says."

Aww. Poor babies. You might have to work more than 103 days next year.

What this says? Get off the plane and get off your ass, you whining sniveling weasel. When the 109th Congress comes to an end on Friday, members will have worked all of 103 days this year, seven days less than the Do Nothing Congress of 1948.

The Democrats could care less about families, compared to the Republicans, who have no problem placing military families under tremendous stress.

Do your fucking job Rep. Kingston and STFU. Our troops don't get a day off and their families are under tremendous financial and emotional strain.

If you didn't want to show up for work, don't run for office next time and get a real job, idiot.

Then you can complain. Most of us have to show up for work Monday thru Friday.

If we don't, we don't get paid.

Many of us don't get health care and those that do have to pay increasingly more for it every year.

Many of us work 2 minimum wage jobs because working one full-time job for minimum wage won't make ends meet.

So, please just STFU and enjoy your stressful new work week.

World Aids Day

Friday was World Aids Day. Here's a message from Bono:



There's really nothing to add. If the facts that Bono presented don't move you to act, nothing I can say will.

Our Preznit is a petulant prick.

At a recent White House reception for freshman members of Congress, Virginia's newest senator tried to avoid President Bush. Democrat James Webb declined to stand in a presidential receiving line or to have his picture taken with the man he had often criticized on the stump this fall. But it wasn't long before Bush found him.

"How's your boy?" Bush asked, referring to Webb's son, a Marine serving in Iraq.

"I'd like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President," Webb responded, echoing a campaign theme.

"That's not what I asked you," Bush said. "How's your boy?"

"That's between me and my boy, Mr. President," Webb said coldly, ending the conversation on the State Floor of the East Wing of the White House.

Leave it to the Prick-in-Chief to make small talk about Iraq with parents of our troops as if he were talking about how the Washington Redskins are doing. Of course, he can't be bothered to go to any funerals or let the American public actually see the caskets come home, so what else should we expect.

And, he can't be bothered to actually bring them home either. To him, leaving is losing, except the only ones paying a price are our troops and their families.
