It was a big yellow dog, some kind of shepherd mix, and it must have just been hit by a car, because its hindquarters were all smashed up and it was writhing around on the pavement in torment. The traffic wasn't that heavy, and cars were swerving around it, but it was obviously only a matter of seconds before another car or truck came along and mashed it to a pulp. The dog might even have been able to see the vehicle bearing down on it -- that is, if it wasn't already out of its mind with pain.
I knew I didn't want to see what was going to happen next, so I turned and ran. But as I did, over a lull in the traffic noise I could hear the dog howling -- an indescribable sound, like no sound I've ever heard an animal make, before or since. One final, despairing, agonizing, awful appeal to the canine gods. It made me want to jab out my eardrums with a sharp stick, it was so bad.
And then, abruptly, the howling stopped, and I knew what had happened. But I kept on running -- for blocks it seemed like. And then I stopped and threw up into the bushes.
I think I hear that same sound coming from the Rovian machine right now -- a doomed, crazed animal in its final death throes.
Or maybe I'm just imagining that's what it is. Maybe what I'm really hearing is the feral, triumphant howl of a wolf who is proving to the world that he's still the leader of the pack -- by ripping the throats out of a few of the weaker members. Either way, I'll be awfully glad when November 7th rolls around and it finally stops.

Apperently, John McCain lost his soul the moment he left the hotel. I guess he did die in Vietnam. Who knew. Did you?
“James Webb’s new novel paints a portrait of a modern Vietnam charged with hopes for the future but haunted by the ghosts of its war-torn past. It captures well the lingering scars of the war, and exposes the tension between the dynamism of a new generation and the invisible bondage of an older generation for whom wartime allegiances, and animosities, are rendered no less vivid by the passage of time. A novel of revenge and redemption that tells us much about both where Vietnam is headed and where it has been.”

Limbaugh physically mocked Parkinson's patients
What the media didn't show, but Keith Olbermann did, was that Rush Limbaugh didn't just make fun of people who suffer from Parkinson's, he even threw in a little physical comedy to show how funny people are who have Parkinson's.
The question remains whether Republicans Jim Talent (MO), Michael Steele (MD), and Mark Green (WI) are going to publicly demand that Limbaugh apologize to the innocent Americans he mocked on their behalf.
the niggaz anin't doin' shit. P_M

Signs border fence bill, yet Congress OK'd separate bill 'ensuring it's never built.'
Bush 'fence' bill won't create fence
Think Progress
Bowing to anti-immigration hardliners in the House, President Bush today held a White House ceremony celebrating the signing of the "Secure Fence Act." Bush told reporters, "The bill authorizes the construction of hundreds of miles of additional fencing along our southern border."
Bush is right, the bill does "authorize" the constrution of a new fence. But that doesn’t mean the bill pays for it.
If you were married you these people, "You'd go get yourself a gun.."

Yea, I got my rage on.
If Michael J. Fox could still act he would be making millions of dollars acting in paying TV commercials, films or sitcoms. He's only 45 years old for God's sake and he still has young kids. He is suffering from a horrifying disease and he deserves for people to respect his sincerity if nothing else. He does actually have Parkinson's, after all, and I'm sure he really does believe that stem cell research provides a hope for a cure --- unless they think he's lying about that too.
Jesus this political establishment is a bunch of heartless, useless creeps. No wonder most people in this country are turned off to politics.

Shorter Don Rumsfailed: "Back Off while we continue to fuck this war up in perpetuity.
“So you ought to just back off, take a look at it, relax, understand that it’s complicated, it’s difficult.”
Christ, I've had it that incompetent fool. I imagine 3000 + 140,000 american families and 730,000 Iraqi families feel the same way.
