things that are catching my eye today

Politics
- Black Box Voting has the most comprehensive collection of data on the back doors and possible areas for voting corruption/tampering. A Diebold boycott's in order.
- Why is the White House counsel vetting all documents being collected on the Plame Game investigation prior delivery to the Justice Department? Why is there no uproar over allowing the foxes to drive the chicken delivery wagon?
- Need a primer that shows who's going to reap the largest percentage of the $87 billion in tax dollars going to Iraq?
- John Scalzi has an awesome rant on the California recall.
- Clark needs to stay above board and "quit it" with the paid speeches.

Amusing
- Spectacular parody..................Honey, when you read this.....take it as gospel. Update: mirror here.
- How can Haggis *ever* be a good idea?

Miscellany
- My god, Toronto is beautiful.....once we get to the apex of this global warming curve, it'll be a swell place to live.
- Can we get a license to carpet bomb stupid people? Let's start with the Vatican. Here's a bastion of lonely single men, all holed up in their holiest place handing out edicts on health and sexuality. Why does anyone still listen to them?
- Wingnut Comedy on California's new governor, complete with spelling errors. "You have to work with a Democrat legislature, and we all no they fear neither God nor man and wish the worst for everyone." Update: typo fixed no longer amusing..
- Blogging for fun, profit.............and spin. Comments and Trackback not enabled.

Additional Fodder
- In an effort to remain Fair and Balanced...........Fox has hired the 'second in command' Information Minister of Iraq. Cool.
- Ted Rall has an interesting overview of the California shenanigans.
- Margaret Cho goes verbally postal on Coulter. Big fun.

What, have you never made a typo before?

Posted by: Frank J. at October 9, 2003 04:56 PM

Oh sure, with regularity. Unfortunately it's not nearly as amusing as when it occurs in an attack rant.

Posted by: kerry at October 9, 2003 05:45 PM

AH HAH...I see you went with a British News Source after all!

I agree, the Vatican is CRAZY!

Posted by: North Texas at October 9, 2003 05:55 PM

I never rant. Even when I look like I'm ranting, it's just an act.

But typos during a rant are actually quite apropos.

Posted by: Frank J. at October 9, 2003 06:51 PM

which is why the typo was fixed. :)

Posted by: kerry at October 11, 2003 12:28 AM

So you've never fixed a typo?

Posted by: teamsolo at October 11, 2003 07:04 PM

Did somebody point out to you that you're a numbnut, by the way?

Just wondering.

Posted by: Misha at October 11, 2003 09:03 PM

Don't you know it's not nice to call someone a numbnut?

Posted by: Tom the Friendly Ghost at October 12, 2003 12:22 AM

There's a lot of buzz around town about you being a numbnut.

Posted by: Lord Falconer at October 12, 2003 02:14 AM

My goodness - Frank J is right again - you do seem to have a slight lack of feeling in your testicles.

Posted by: Roy at October 12, 2003 03:20 AM

Have you had your nuts on ice? They seem to be numb.

Posted by: Sean M. at October 12, 2003 02:00 PM

A numbnut as was suggested, though Toronto is really sorta nice city :)

Posted by: ai_sur at October 12, 2003 05:15 PM

I do think the consensus is that you are quite the numbnut. Also, Margaret Cho is a fat, ugly, disfunctional, confused, foaming-at-the-mouth wack-job fag hag. And you are even more of a numbnut for linking her lame rant against Ann Coulter (who is a goddess).

Posted by: Ecthelion at October 12, 2003 07:53 PM

I've never nown a pair of number nuts than yours.

Posted by: the_brick at October 12, 2003 09:44 PM

I normally don't use such crude language, but I would do just about anything for Frank. He's so cute, like Snoopy (bonus points if you can name the movie reference).

You're a numbnut.

Posted by: Minstrel at October 13, 2003 04:49 AM

Why is the White House vetting all documents in the Plame Game? Gee, perhaps it's because the folks there who would be talking about CIA agents and intelligence collection missions might- and this is supposition on my part- talk about Secret Stuff!
Remember, this investigation is supposed to be about a leak, even though it is only the prospect of embarrassing Bush that is giving some folks a woody.

I would like to read a reasonable sounding explanation of how Plame's exposure came about as a result of a Bush vendetta. But I know this isn't possible, so here is the best I can do:

Rove: Mr. President, the CIA just sent some anti-war long hair to Niger to ask officials there if any of them have engaged in illegal nuclear activity that would make them the enemy of the most powerful nation on earth. He hung out at the pool and only talked to people who were sent to him by the government under investigation. Rather than submitting a written report to his superiors, he wrote an op-ed in the New York Times. He's pretty critical of our "invade Iraq for the Niger uranium and no other reason" policy

W: He's in the New York Times? I know, let's blow his cover!

Rove: He's not under cover sir, he's in the editorial section.

W: What about his wife, she under cover?

Rove: No, but she used to be.

W: Blow her cover! Once everyone sees that I've hampered her career secretly, they'll know I have power. As long as no one knows I did it.

Rove: That doesn't make any goddam sense, George!

W: You can't call me George! just for that, your sister the librarian's record of overdue books is about to go public. She'll never work in the library again.

Rove: You are cruel but fair. I'm glad I supported you in the Florida coup- I mean election. Heil.

W: Heil yourself, Karl. Now get me Ashcroft, we have to rig up a large, public investigation for cover. Why wasn't this Wilson guy thrown in the "Enemy Speech" camp with the other dissenters?

Rove; The camps are full sir. A lot of people used to work at PBS, and with the internet explosion the number of seditous statements has skyrocketed. That's a lot of bunks to build, sir.

Somehow I don't think so. Try this instead:
The CIA was against the war. They sent an unqualified administration critic to find what they wanted him to find, but felt they needed to give him some kind of bona fides. They mention that his wife works with WMD for the CIA, which Novak reports. The only problem with this story is that it doesn't hurt Bush.

And maybe that's what the Plame Game is all about.

....And yes, all props to Frank J for pointing our that you are

the

numb-

Aw, hell. I just can't bring myself to do it. Feels too much like being a rude guest.

...though I should mention that sometimes it's caused by the wrong shape biycle seat.
