Much Ado About Nothing
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is criticizing President Bush because he's not going to appear alone in front of the 9/11 commission. VP Dick Cheney will be there at his side.

"I think it speaks to the lack of confidence that the administration has in the president going forth alone, period," Pelosi, D-Calif., said Friday. "It's embarrassing to the president of the United States that they won't let him go in without holding the hand of the vice president of the United States."

Oh, really? Why is it embarrassing? Isn't the VP intimately involved with upper-level decision-making? Good grief. Honestly, this is much ado about absolutely jack squat.

Another thing: why should Bush have to be nailed with trick questions by all the holier-than-thou Democrats on the commission and not have someone to help answer? I don't get it. He probably doesn't have intimate knowledge of everything they'll ask him about, anyway. He makes general policy, like, "Let's root out the Al Qaeda terrorists." In fact, Condoleezza Rice & Colin Powell should be there as well. Let the whole group consult each other and then give an answer.

Pelosi, do you have any press secretaries? It's quite EMBARRASSING that you can't answer the press all by yourself.

Gosh, Now It's Harder To Kill
Some PUKE (People for the Unborn Killing Exemption) physicians are complaining because killing babies will be harder because of the new laws banning partial-birth abortions. Darn those laws that stand in the way of convenience killings! For those who don't recall, partial-birth abortion is the all-too-gruesome procedure wherein the innocent baby is partially delivered and killed with scissor trauma to the head halfway out of the birth canal. Anyway, here's what the article said about a loving, caring PUKE physician:

He said the process of pulling the fetus partially out of the woman's body and then puncturing the skull to collapse the soft tissue and squeeze the head out is often the safest method available.

Safe? For whom? I doubt the baby would give his or her imprimatur concerning the "safe" aspects of abortion.

Crap. You know what the law reminds me of, though? You know when you're trying to kill a guy in a cave? It's SOO much easier to kill him when he's halfway out of the cave. Those politicians need to stop trying to legislate their wacky, right-wing ideas that young human life has intrinsic value & dignity that should be protected...geeze Louise. Why can't we just let everyone decide his or her own morality based on a personal moral compass? I mean, if I have a young toddler who's ticking me off, I should be able to choose to send him to the next world. It's my CHOICE and morality about that CHOICE should not be legislated! Tell the government to stay out of my body and my nursery!

EUREKA! I've just had a stroke of genius based on my last thought! Listen to this idea: take said toddler who is ticking you off. All you have to do is go to your friendly local abortion doctor--or, if you prefer, call him a compassionate PUKE physician--and have the child stuffed halfway into its mother's birth canal and then stabbed in the head. Or, for a more memorable, dramatic, and lasting effect, the child can be shot in the head with a gun. Or, no, perhaps a guillotine. The possibilities are endless! What a wonderful thing CHOICE is!

Let's Start The Insanity
I'll be optimistic and say some "well-meaning but unthinking" people have filed a $1 BILLION lawsuit because of mistreatment of their slave ancestors. I could say "money-grubbing and mindless" people, but I won't. And, apparently they're going global (Lloyd's of London in addition to their targets in America) to see how much money they can round up. While this nonsensical lawsuit can be logically challenged and/or refuted in a plethora of ways, I'll take the easiest route.

We ALL have had ancestors who were mistreated by big ol' corporations. Shoot, before labor laws, our ancestors were almost assuredly overworked and exposed to innumerable hazardous conditions. Perhaps we ALL deserve lots of cold, hard cash for our ancestors' suffering! You think? I think not.

In an age of litigious excess, this lawsuit demonstrates that very excess quite well. The only other thing I've gotta say is...where do I go to get MY free lunch money?
