I find reason tedious and boring.

Skipper: Kowalski, reason with him.

Kowalski: Ahh, reason...

Skipper: I find reason tedious and boring. We'll use force.

For some reason, the above bit of dialogue reminds me of the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq. "Colin, reason with them." "Ah, reason" "I find reason tedious and boring. We'll use force." At least the penguins accomplished their mission. Of course, the penguins don't create their own reality, their animators do. I wish the bushies had had better animators.

Wall Street Fuckers

To preserve the backbone of the industrial economy, we have congressional hearings, we have New York Times op ed from traitorous son of Michigan Mitt Romney and numerous others saying that the Big 3 need to go bankrupt, the party of the masters yammers about how the unions have to make concessions, (like they haven't already) Harry Reid doesn't dare take a vote, and the bosses are told to come back in two weeks with a plan.

To bail out a company who caused this mess, and who has been soaking in the mud of financial scandal since at least Enron days, its another nontransparent, unaccountable, no-oversight Sunday Afternoon Special from Chairman Hank and the rest of the Wall Street Fuckers.

Bork in Iraq

Maliki's government is "quietly dismissing" anti-corruption officials. I think the main reason the dismissal can be called quiet is because papers other than the Times are ignoring the story.

Well, I shouldn't be so hard on the media. In April, I commented on Condi Rice's reply to Henry Waxman's question whether she was aware of Maliki stonewalling anti-corruption investigations.

When Nixon did the same thing, it was big news, the label 'Saturday Night Massacre' is well known. Dragging this news out know might spoil Bush's going away party, I suppose.

Obama Wins!

ABC calls Ohio for Obama. By the last post, it's done.

Congratulations President Elect Obama.

Obama is close

NBC has Obama with 174. Give him CA, OR, WA, HI and he only needs 19. He can get that from FL, or OH, or VA + IA, or NC + IA, or NM + CO + IA, or a number of other places.

Texas closing, not ready to project

LA, Nebraska, SD, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona not ready to project. Electoral vote currently 174 Obama, 76 McCain.
