'Let me guess - you're a republican.'
Went back to work today, hacking up goobers and sneezing red slime. Spent most of the day trying to deal with all my emails. Helpless squabs - can't anyone do anything right?? I should've asked them if they had a roll of TP, or did they expect me to wipe their asses, too. Idiots.

The BF's on a business trip to Edinburgh - he's already picked up some single malt at Cadenhead's, and a couple o' cans of haggis for me! Now if I could just get him to bring back some good cigars....


CHIMP and 'CHICANERY' CHENEY JUST TOO CHICKEN
WASHINGTON (AP) - Tearful relatives of Sept. 11 victims urged White House officials Wednesday not to block Congress' plans to create an independent commission to investigate the attacks, but were unsuccessful.

The main sticking points continue to be provisions governing the commission's subpoena power and leadership, which the White House fears could lead to partisan squabbling and finger-pointing. Bush objects to a provision that would allow five members of the 10-person commission, split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, to issue a subpoena.

The administration also wants its only member on the commission to be the sole chairperson, instead of being co-chair with a Democratic appointee.

Repeat after me: honor...integrity...responsibility...compassionate conservatism... Maybe that just works for rich donors to the RNC.
