Bad Day?

One of my frequent commenters asked if I was having a bad day in regard to "The First 100" and my rather unhappy frame of mind. The answer is no, not a bad day, but I'm beginning to be very unhappy with 2007. I had an idea that Congress would actually make some moves at the BushCo mess. I didn't expect a lot to be accomplished, veto over-ride isn't there, but just write the damn bills anyhow. Be seen doing something.

At least Leahy seems to be done with letting the Administration's shills report to Congress, he says testify under oath - in public. He says. I won't bet anything I care about on it. Keeripes, you'd have thought the Democrats won something last fall and would like to again. Not if they keep shying away from shadows.

The collective stupidity of the WaPo editorial board regarding the Second Amendment stopped me in my tracks. I hadn't expected them to be real pleased, but to dig up Miller and misstate the case ruling and justify the lunacy of "the people" actually meaning 'the states' had me shaking my head. I had understood they were literate.

The absolute namby pamby pretty boy pussies at Fox have the nerve to call a covert CIA agent a liar, people who have risked their hair do's in a stiff breeze... Somebody called them journalists, a joke I think. I was pretty peeved at the lack of outrage, well, Olberman named them today's Worst People in the World.

There's the little issue of the start of year five of Iraq. I'd say something but being seen foaming at the mouth is unattractive.

Oregon Republican representatives can't seem to NOT play stupid games. Yes, when you're down in politics you do need to look for an edge, it also helps to be smart about it.

Greg Walden claims credit for timber credits. Excuse my falling down laugh Waldenbush, maybe if you'd been doing your job last year... Hey, the sun came up - my name is Greg ... Oregon media actually paid attention to this crap.

Gordon Smith has yet to see a fence he can't climb over, jump back across, and straddle simultaneously.

Oregon cigarette smokers will get stuck with the bill for Oregon's children's health care, not because it makes a bit of sense; but because they can do it. They can't pass a tax on the general citizenry. Guess where the tax actually belongs. That's right Governor, I worked for your election, voted for you, and now I'm telling you you're wrong.

The push of American labor into serfdom continues unabated, in fact, abetted by those who claim to represent workers. If George II is in favor of something, what's wrong with you that you agree?

63% of Americans think Iraq is bad, 76% of Republicans think it is good. What???

Hillary hasn't quit.

I got to shoot the two new guns that have sat collecting dust, the 1873 Win .45 Colt is a nice shooter, the Ruger #1 45-70 Govt. with moderately heavy loads beat the snot out of me, that was fun and it only took 1 day to recover. Best part of 07 so far.
