Catalog of Bush Lies
great website from the house democrats. Perhaps they've still got some fight in them.

Protest at your own risk.
Remember how vicious the GOP operatives seemed when compared to their the dem counter-parts in Florida 2000? Seemed like on side was decidedly more restrained in its battle plan. Compare Limbaugh to Donahue. One is aggressive, bullyish and combative, while the other seeks to edify through dialogue. Both are opinionated and biased, but tactics differ greatly. Unfortunately, Donahue has just been canceled, largely because his network was afraid to be seen challenging the president during war-time.
Check out the anti-abortion activists in your neighborhood. Bombing, murder, intimidation.
A current argument that I've heard more than once goes that: a doctrine, like militant Islam, that encourages bloodshed , terror and war can no longer be tolerated in our world. All religions are not created equal and one that encourages zealots to act violently can and should be repressed on a moral ground.
So, when can we begin the dismantling of the Christian right?

All of Gaul is divided into 3 parts...
The bay area (or Bayrea, as I wish it were called) is divided into 4 parts. The north, south, east and the other one. I live on the other one, a thumb shaped mass surrounded by the other quadrants and the pacific. To leave the thumb is a very big deal. Venturing into the other quandrants can be scary.
Rarely do I leave the confines of my fair town for the surrounding environs. Oakland is a perfectly nice place, but it's become nightmarish to actually travel there. Bridges, tolls, traffic, construction and a rush hour that more or less never ends has made me a virtual prisoner in my gilded cage.
Traveling some 15 miles to Berkeley, as I did last night, felt like a moon shot. Where's my passport, my toothbrush? Do they have Wells Fagro over there? Guess I'll get some cash now. Do they have chow fun? Customs are different, too. Someone smiled at me as we passed on the sidewalk (What do you want from me?!). And, it being Berkeley, everyone was 20 years younger than me. The food was lousy, they don't know from burritos over there (hamburger! WTF?). But the coffee was good.
All in all, it wasn't as bad a trip as feared. But, I like it better over here - happy in the big, nasty city.

So, the GOP has a grass roots website. They want to harness some of that energy that the lefties have put to such good use. Flooding email boxes and fax machines with scads of form letters. This page from GOPteamleader.com illustrates the benefits from signing up. "In addition to being given a "political edge" over the competition, you earn GOPoints for each Action Item completed. Action Items range from writing a letter to your editor to calling local voters and gauging public opinion. The GOPoints you earn can, in turn, be redeemed for collateral of your choice, ranging from coolers to mouse pads. "
Just like Camel points! I want the GOP beer cozzy!

What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children--not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace m our time but peace for all time.

I am a zombie. I've been going since last weekend with little rest and no days off. I feel the end of my tether approaching, but I have miles to go before I rest. Why do I get myself into these moonlighting situations? I'm not even making that much money. Anyway, if I seem quiet and not posting it's because I have fallen asleep at the wheel and drifted into the bay. No big thing.
In other news, those of you searching google for "joe millionaire sarah blow job" need look no further than right here at Detritus. Because, as loyal readers know, we have discussed all of those things - at length - right here. See, I can look at the page that sent you here and I can see what you searched for to land at this little outpost. And a lot of you are interested in seeing the so-not-28-year-old Sarah, fellating. Why her? Is anyone searching for Condy Rice blowjobs? Or Sinead O'Connor blowjobs?
Still getting a lot of traffic based on Christy Canyon, (and yes...I did just write Christy Canyon again so that I will continue to get that traffic) and no...the Frodo Buttfucking thing didn't work. Apparently, no one is into gay hobbit porn.
Did I mention that I'm exhausted?

== Go Ahead, Make My Violent Phallic Compensatory Device == Smith & Wesson has introduced its biggest handgun ever, a .50-caliber Magnum, because if there's one thing the nation really needs during a time of war and ennui and manufactured hate and self-righteous chest-thumping patriotism, it's a big macho dumbass handgun for big manly monosyllabic troglodytes who really want to be able to blast the living crap out of a charging mastodon because the trailer-park bestiality porn just ain't doin' it for them anymore. -Mark Morford, my hero.

Ronnie Reagan is 92, today.
Reagan chief-of-staff Joanne Drake said "He's comfortable and doing as well as anyone could expect for a man of 92. He's going to be around a long, long time."
Does anyone else hear the dry rasp of utter resignation to a life of unending diaper changes, incessant yowling and unfortunate erections in that statement?

I was complaining about how I thought the Prez was starting to sound more and more like a Pastor. And then, I found this site:Presidential Prayers for Kids ...and all my fears conjoined to become one great, hulking, christian beast.
