In the News...
...Neil Young's new album is out and free to listen to. I'm likely to be humming 'Let's Impeach the President' all day, I admit. Aside from the Bush quotes. The man has no rhythm.
...speaking of, Bush is still treating the budget bill he and the Republicans 'certified' (despite it not being approved by both levels of Congress) as law, not that you'll see much coverage of /that/...
...oh, and he threatens to veto the appropriations bill for funds to the soldiers in Iraq and the sadly delayed and bungled Katrina clean-up and building, unless it's massively cut. The Republicans have enough signed names that they can sustain the veto...
...at the same time, he's willing to give most Americans a hundred dollar bribe if we just ignore the drilling in Alaska, and give him yet more authority in setting fuel standards, and pass a likely toothless new energy bill...
...and there are calls from Republicans (and Loe Liberman) to abolish FEMA as a 'useless' agency, after said agency was crippled by incompetent Bush appointees and by being folded into Homeland Security, where it was largely ignored...
...and, predictably, the Democrats do nothing. Except, of course, attend Fox News parties. (Looking at you, Hillary.)
In other news, I have my iPod back, and the happy gaming convention this weekend. So at least that's happy.

But no, there's not much of one. Which is one of the reasons why the Democratic Party is doing so badly...people like Lieberman and most of the Southern Democrat are far more likely to side with Republicans than they are their own party. The Dems don't have any intra-party discipline at all.
