elections + 1
Am sitting here watching the President's news conference.
Without actually being in the room with the guy, I can smell a man who's uncomfortable, stressed, and on the defensive, and I tell you what: the guy reeks of it. He's chattering a little too fast, he seems over-caffeinated, his responses to the press are anticipatory and tellingly accusatory ("you're trying to get me to..."), and finally, the pitch of his voice keeps grating up to a Texan whine.
Rumsfeld has stepped down, but W is replacing him with the former head of the CIA, and it sounds for all the world like the American President has closed his eyes, put his fingers in his ears, and decided he's going to pursue the impossible crap that is Iraq and go down fighting.
I keep seeing comments on the 'net that people can't believe how out of touch those guys are... have they never tried to convince a middle-aged guy of ONE damn thing he didn't think of himself? Find some middle-aged women and ask THEM...
Dr. James "Focus on the Family" Dobson says he's quitting Ted Haggard's "restoration team". Oh, for God's sake. Ted should just come out and get on with a new life, and Gayle should get a good divorce attorney and get as far from Colorado as she can. Those people are fooling themselves.
I am so excited that somebody else who has had a baby, shopped for swimsuits, put on pantyhose, colors her hair, and plucks her eyebrows is going to be the Speaker of the House! A woman Speaker of the House, and before I got to be an old woman! I hope she knows how many of us are watching her... c'mon, Nancy. Do it right.
