AOL Television: Greatest American

have you been watching this show? I watched it last week when I was in Spokane. Bush was in the running at that time, and so was Clinton. It looks like they are out of the race now. It’s down to 5 people:
1. Ben Franklin
2. Martin Luther King Jr.
3. Abraham Lincoln
4. Ronald Reagan
5. George Washington
how Reagan made it to the top five, I don’t know. But it’s sickening. I heard that there is a push in the Neocon blogging community to make Reagan the winner. Ugh. Please go vote. and vote 3 times. For someone, anyone, other than Reagan. All of the other cadidates are deserving to be there, IMHO. But for the record, I voted for good old, George Washington.

Fascist Nation

June 24, 2005
According to Americablog, the White House was behind Rove’s atrocious statement wednesday evening. Check out the republican Talking points that were published yesterday regarding Democrat’s outrage over Rove’s statements. They are calling it “Faux outrage”. oh man. I’m pissed. And this is not Faux anger. They had better not get away with this. The Dems in charge in congress had better stand up to these bullies. No more rolling over. That is it. This neocon, fascist administration is evil. If it is true that these comments by Rove are part of a planned attack (and it would not surprise me in the least if they were, this is how Rove operates), then our country is truly, truly skating on thin ice toward blatent, outright fascism. This isn’t some silly neocon blogger making these divisive statements. This is the Executive Office of the United States. This is scary.

Is it friday already? (Friday Random 10)

June 24, 2005
It’s friday again. Here’s my random ten for today:
1. First Date. Blink 182
2. Square Dance. Eminem.
3. All Your Fascists Bound to Lose. Woodie Guthrie.
4. King Porter Stomp.Glenn Miller.
5. Keep on the Sunny Side. The Whites.
  
  Good lord. The name of this band is “the whites?!?” that is probably the most redneck thing I’ve ever heard of. I like this soundtrack, though. And the film is excellent.
6. Desperado. Johnny Cash.
7. Wrapping Paper. Cream.
8. 1963. New Order.
9. Wind Serenade No. 12 in C Minor. Mozart.
10. Take A Chance on Me. ABBA.
  
  oh my god. What a way to end this list!
I figured out how to get around audiobooks. In iTunes, I created a smart playlist called “friday random 10.” Then I went into the parameters and eliminated anything where the genre is “spoken word” or “audiobook” or whathaveyou. I love smart playlists :).

happy friday!

Rove: Dems Didn’t Get 9/11 Consequences – Yahoo! News

Speaking in a Manhattan ballroom just a few miles north of ground zero, Karl Rove said on Wednesday night that the Democratic party did not understand the consequences of the Sept. 11 attacks.

I am getting seething mad reading this news article. Seriously. We don’t get it? WTF? is he kidding? 9-11 was the most horrific, horrible day of my life, and I don’t even personally know anyone who died that day. I live on the other side of the Country, and it was the most horrific thing I have ever experienced. Where does he get off?

I just caught this on AmericaBlog, so I don’t know what other bloggers are saying about this at the moment. But I agree with John at AmericaBlog. Rove must resign. But he won’t, of course.

I clicked to see AmericaBlog’s homepage, and it looks like they are following this story closely. The last post says that the White House stands by Rove’s statement. Okay. Now I’m really getting pissed. What is Bush trying to do here? This is kind of freaking me out a little bit. Actually, a lot.
