quote of the day...

"I can simply say to you that the president
expressed his beliefs because he holds them.
And I think the president, in reviewing the
information he has, is in a position that he
could express what he believes."
-ari fleischer (Dec. 4, 2002)

whew. i'm glad that's settled, once and for all.

i saw the donald (rumsfeldstiltskin) in a press
briefing covered by c-span yesterday. he was having
a jolly old time with the press corps, smiling
away while spewing a whole bunch of NOTHINGNESS
while refusing to answer specific questions.

does it seem funnie to you that when we have morons
in office, questions about government actions go
unanswered on the grounds that our government's
decisions are being made on the basis of classified
intelligence information?

remember the cuban missle crisis? when kennedy
accused the soviet union of having WMD based in
cuba - there were spy photos of the missles plastered
on the front page of every newspaper in the western
world.

I'm looking north, mice elf. I have a sister in Australia, if worse comes to worse, and I figure it may be easier to get there from Canada, if things get that bad.

I'm more tempted to stick around. The Left and the Right seem to be saying the same things on this issue (Safire comes to mind, but I've seen lots of people discussing it), so maybe we will form some sort of coalition against this stuff.
It's a pretty helpless feeling, watching us head down this road and being unable to stop it.
