Here’s my attempt to add to your list and survive our disgust.

rendition is a means of providing new horizons and scenery in the hopes that the recipient will feel grateful and render those things that are Caesar’s to the kind hosts that are assisting their colleagues; extracting the shiny part of a digit saves having to worry about maintenance expenses and fuel for unnecessary trips; having to continue to reassert one’s sense of gravity due to an instant loss of stability strengthens muscles especially if it is preceded by long intervals of demonstrating stamina on the knees or feet and providing experience in how to remain awake when sleep tries to interfere

Awhile ago, I made a negative comment about one of bebop-o's posts.

That was a real lack of understanding, and I'm sorry.

Understanding B has been a learned skill for some of us here. Others have been blessed to understand all along. I often read B's posts several times, and I get something different out of it each time, all valuable.

B makes us laugh, B makes us nod our heads in agreement with his descriptions of the simpler things in life that we somtimes forget. He helps us understand what war really is - the pain, the loss, the comeraderie and even, at times, the joys. B grounds us in the soil that is the land that we grow on. And sometimes B brings us to tears, most often when he reminds us about what our humanity should be, instead of what it has become.

Bebop is the music that underscores the lyrics of our discussions.

And he's the only person I know who can take a juvenile prank,

Take a brown lunch bag of scooped pet poop.

Ignite the bag. Gently toss on W.H.'s porch.

and turn it into poetry. ;->

That's pretty special in my book.

And sleep deprivation is of course the enhanced denial of nightmares.

I think it must be with an 'o' in Spanish, lots of people do it.

I just went to Sen. Feinstein's website to personally lodge my displeasure and received this telling response:

Thank you for sending me your electronic mail message. I appreciate your

taking the time to share your thoughts with me.

Because of the volume of e-mail that is received by my office, we can only

respond to email that includes a California postal address. Please resend

Thank you again for contacting me, and I hope you will continue to do so

in the future.

United States Senator

Might as well have been one of those mail failure to deliver messages.

I'm with Chris Floyd. The game is over. We are in deeper than I ever thought possible.

...when he wakes up one day and realizes what a nightmare he's helped create.

Of course knowing him as we do, this won't hit until he's standing in front of the firing squad.

Bush wouldn't be getting away with what he's getting away with if the Democrats in Congress weren't letting him get away with it.

Democratic condidates are just assuming they'll be swept into office as a reaction to the current terrible Republican administration. I'm not so sure. The current Democratically-controlled Congress is now even less popular than our extremely unpopular President.

Why would I consider not voting for my local Democratic candidates? Because they're unprincipled pussies, that's why.

The Bushies know having another poodle in the office of Attorney General keeps the firewall operational.

My question is: it is a long time to Tuesday. Cannot enough righteous anger be directed at these two useless senators to persuade them to change their vote?

I am convinced - now more than ever - that we need a viable third party option.

I can't tell them apart anymore. Its like I'm suddenly Red/Blue Color Blind. Everything looks YELLOW!

Isn't there some retired wrestler or diminutive chart-wielding ex-CEO that can save us???

It really does seem much of the time that the higher one looks in the echelons of any organization, the more stupidity and mendacity one finds. This seems especially true in government, and doubly so in the Congress.

I am dumbstruck daily at the idiocy and/or duplicity of the people perched on the uppermost rungs of power. And that's to say nothing of what I learn in the news.

Then again, American voters do seem to be gluttons for this unique kind of abuse.

I can tell you from personal experience that in about 6 weeks you will get an email from her. She will be very polite and will inform you that she has voted for the confirmation of Mukasey because the security of the American people had always been her most important priority and because she believes that Mukasey can work well with the legislative branch.

What she is really telling you of course is that she could care less whether you're dead or alive and that you can actually go and fuck yourself, but since Stanford educated Jewish/Catholic girls aren't supposed to talk that way, she, or rather her staffers, have to go through that bullshit each time they send a reply.

DiFi is a war profiteering republican disguised as a Democrat. She is not running for reelection and enjoys living in her 17 million $ mansion in Pacific Heights and the 100 million $ or so that she and husband have made off the Iraq war too much to give a damn about her constituency or anybody else. She, just like Joe Lieberman, is a lost cause and you need to give up the notion that she's in any way a Democrat.
