Does Heather Mills think everybody is as clueless as she is? Does she think we Boomers have Alzheimer's?

Paul McCartney is a man who composed, arranged and performed an entire song on the concept "Someone's knocking at the door - let him in." In my mind, none of the more obvious stoner anthems even comes close to conveying the true inertia of brain-bake as one of music's top talents sitting around, strumming a guitar, going "La la la.. What? Someone's at the door? Let him in. Hey.. wait a second.. someone's la la knocking at the door... la la la"

Did Heather never hear of the time Paul thought the major was a lady suffragette? Or about the time he was going to get HiHiHi?

Well Heather, you may not have been there when the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun, but the rest of us were. Paul was arrested on drug charges. Everybody knows the Queen and Parliament told the police to back off, since imprisoning one of the UK's most prolific entertainers at the height of his earning power was a stupid thing to do. You think they're going to hold it against him that now, as a rich old fart who pays an enormous amount of taxes, he smokes a few bowls a day?

Poor Linda must be rolling in her grave. When I hear some of the songs that were released during their marriage, I imagine Paul saying "Oh Linda, darling, what do you think of this? 'Ollie Hardy should have had more sense. He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence, all for the sake of a couple of pence.'"

And Linda (after a long exhalation) says "Yeah... mmm. Yeah, 'Sgood. I like it. Mmm... God, I'm hungry."

Then she goes into the kitchen to whip up some organic munchies. But the butter wouldn't melt, so she put it in a pie.

Somebody is demanding George W Bush clean up his own mess before he breezily leaves White House (or the National Guard base, or the numerous boardrooms he's skedaddled out of before the shit hit the fan)?

I must admit, I really am surprised. Will the Democrats have the balls to see it through to the end? Because it's going to be ugly. Bush and his daddy's pals --- the pals Poppy still has left, that is, which includes the House of Saud (and Barbara Bush ~~shiver!~~) --- are going to do their damndest to smear everyone who stands in the path of their getaway.

Oh Ye Balls -- FORTITUDE!

By dumping this war (and the ultimate withdrawal in defeat) on another president.

Apparently, McCain made his deal with the devil back in 2004, and it was this: in order for Bush to get McCain's backing --- so that Bush could squeak by over Kerry ("my Vietnam vet is more heroic than that your Vietnam vet!") in the elections --- Bush agreed to let McCain have a clear run at the 2008 nomination (and probably agreed to let McCain have Rove to strategize for his campaign, rather than against him for a change). But the Bush crowd had a little rider on that policy. McCain would have to agree to inherit Iraq from Bush, so that Iraq wouldn't be seen as a 100% start-to-finish failure on Bush's part. And McCain would have to support Bush 100% on all things Iraq, so that if a Democrat should win the 2008 election, s/he will inherit the war, and the GOP wingnut noise machine will go into full-blast mode, blaming the war defeat on the Democrat.

The GOP wingnut noise machine is very good at rewriting history. An America that was sick of Vietnam now looks back on it as a war the Democrats "lost" because they weren't tough enough, and believes the oft-repeated lie that liberals and antiwar protestors went to airports in order to greet returning Vietnam vets by spitting in their faces.

Well, this is one American who aims to see that Bush take full responsibility for his life of monumental fuck-ups.

Troops home NOW.

I'll be checking it out at my local Apple store and I may order one. Just the fact that they used their heads and eliminated those ridiculous keyboards/keypads and made a touchpad is indicative of Apple's way of taking products and making them user-simple.

And they will come out with a lower-priced version for the teen-and-twenties crowd, just like they developed the Mini and the Nano and the Shuffle from the iPod. So cost isn't going to be as much of a factor in the future as it is now. And let's face it, Blacberrys and TREOs are in the $500 range. Do they work as well and as easily as the iPhone? Probably not.

Apple is known for quality and ease of use. People will pay for ease of use before they'll pay for higher quality and Jobs and Co. know that.

I don't like Dan Bartlett at all, but he gave a gentle smackdown to the wretch. Tony Snow would have laughed, Ari Fleischer would have said Kennedy should be arrested. Dick Cheney would have growled with pleasure.

At least there's one person in the White House who is capable of calling bullshit. If I were Ted Kennedy, I would demand an apology.

Remember when the wingnuts got hysterical over that one? When did they ever care about a lesbian before, except maybe to insult one?

This Boxer/Rice thing is the same issue. It's all about the rightwing playing their tired old, dog-chewed victim card.

Hey wingnuts?

Hey Condi?

Boo fucking hoo.

What kind of nonsense is the rightwing spouting? "Immediate family" means parents, siblings, spouse, children and grandchildren. Condileezza Rice doesn't have any siblings in the military, either.

To assume that "immediate family" means "children", just because the person is female, is sexist. So the wingnuts are getting hysterical over their own sexist bias.
