...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.

It is stories like these that make me ignore the news. Reading them just makes me want to get my own little compound somewhere, powered by wind and solar energy, and ignore the world. But of course that will lead to the inevitable confrontation with the government when my followers proclaim me the messiah and I am just not ready for all the media attention yet. Not to mention the pressure of having to resurect in three days. As if I would want to come back. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, the news is depressing.
