Common Sense

Today the Senate approved language in the emergency spending bill for Iraq that would set a nonbinding date for troop withdrawal.
This should be a happy day for the American people. There is almost certainly going to be a withdrawal timetable in the final bill and President Bush will have to explain why he wasn’t willing […]

The headline says it all:
Bush To Dems: Opposition Wastes Time
President Accuses Congress Of Delaying “The People’s Business” With Investigations, Iraq Resolutions.
My only question is “Why is a president such a retard?”
Of course, he isn’t angry that Democrats are “wasting time.” I’m not 100% sure he isn’t angry that Democrats won a majority in the 2006 […]

It looks like the Senate will indeed pass a version of the House emergency troop funding bill. The stipulation here is that it will be a nonbinding call for withdrawal of US troops from Iraq in 2008.
So Round 1 will go to the Democrats. It turns out, you really can get them to agree with […]

Edwards: Iraq Bill Supports U.S. Combat Troops & Veterans, and Tells Iraqi Politicians to Take More Responsibility for Nation’s Future

I have thus far refrained from writng about Purgegate, mostly because there are so many other bloggers that are covering this and I haven’t had anything substantive to add to the discussion.

I know I should have been writing about Texas Politics for the last 60 or so days, but it is incredibly boring. I don’t know, I think the only thing different is that I stopped drinking in the middle of the day and started sleeping.

After venting yesterday, I decided that I have to tell you all about the guy here at work that I hate.
Without getting all introspective on my disability, I can say that I can’t walk very far to get to the door at work. It’s a miracle I make it up the stairs at work, but […]

Sunday, Space Monkey, Sailor Moon and I made our way to the theater to watch 300. The original plan was to go to the IMAX theater in Dallas to see it on Saturday, but that didn’t happen.
So there we were, in the pouring rain, waiting to buy tickets. I think it was the first time […]

I know, it’s shocking and unbelievable, isn’t it. But, apparently he acknowledged that he had an extramarital affair as he was leading the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton for his affair.
“The honest answer is yes,” Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson to […]

I might as well link to the pictures of Antonella Barba. As they say, there is apparently a law now that says everyone has to post them… but I’m at work and I don’t feel like getting fired for downloading nude pictures of her onto my desktop.
I would like to reiterate one more time that […]
