The Lightning Round
It is much harder to keep up with this blog than I thought. Not only do I have to contend with finding enough time to post updates, but I have hit writers blaock after 3 posts. How pitiful is that? You would think that with all that is going on in the world I could find something to add my two cents to.
I started this blog to bring my perspective to things, but with the 24 news cycle, everything has already been said by the time I get around to commenting. That is not to say that I don't have original thoughts, but it is kinda the million monkeys ideas, by blathering 24 hours a day on TV most angles on a particular story have been espoused. So, anything that I add does not sound original.
But, I will not let the lack of originality stop me. I will give you my quick take on several recent events. Now ladies and gentlement, let's play the lightning round..
Hurricane Dennis: Bad, but could have been worse. Too bad Texas didn't get any rain from it. Let's keep our eye on Emily.
Space Shuttle: I hope it is fixed. I'm not too critical of NASA, I'm sure they are doing all they can to make it as safe as possible. Hey, rocketing your butt into space is dangerous business. If someone can die on a space simulation ride at Disney World, the real thing has to be pretty risky.
William Rehnquist: I don't blame him for hanging on if he still feels up to the job, but he sounds pretty sick to me. I know it is a lifetime appointment; I don't know about you but, I don't want to die while I'm still working. He out to retire and go enjoy himself.
Carl Rove: If he broke the law, fire him. If not, Bush should stick by him and tell the dems to shut up and sit down. I know the dems would like to stick it to Rove the architect because he beat them twice, but if he didn't do anything wrong, stop the petty fight.
SCOTUS Nominee: Bush should appoint anyone he damn well pleases. The Dems have no power to stop him. They can complain all they want but it only takes 51 votes to confirm his choice and the GOP has more than enough. Hmmm, that filibuster agreement doesn't seem so smart now does it Mr. Reed?
