My Pirate Name
My pirate name is:
Iron Tom Kidd
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

I'm not dead yet...
So how long do you have to not post before Blogger determines you're dead?
Katrina has finally driven away the post election funk. I'll leave you with the lyrics to my favorite Stephanie Miller ditty dedicated to George's speech tonight...
You're a lying sack of crap
You're a lying sack of crap
You're a lying scheming nasty sack of liquid crap
Ahh... that's better

Wow! Just... wow.
Via PlanetSwank and Pandagon comes the best summary of the Bush mal-administration I've ever read. In light of tonight's speech by the pResident, it is a must read.

A Time for Truth
I rarely agree with the man, but Pat Buchanan makes a lot of sense in this editorial.
Bush has managed to piss away 60 years of American goodwill since the illegitimate "election" in Florida. Right and Left both are should be horrified at what a second term for George "Whatever" Bush could bring.
With a $500 billion deficit, we do not have the money for new wars. With an Army of 480,000 stretched thin, we do not have the troops. With April-May costing us a battalion of dead and wounded, we are not going to pay the price. With the squalid photos from Abu Ghraib, we no longer have the moral authority to impose our "values" on Iraq.
Bush's "world democratic revolution" is history.

The Wastrel Son
Krugman today points out what is becoming increasingly obvious. GWB reminds one of a character in great English literature.
In Pride and Prejudice, Wickham sponges off of Fitzwilliam Darcy while at the same time convincing Elizabeth that Darcy is a cad. Substitute Kerry for Darcy and the electorate for Elizabeth and the story fits quite nicely, at least until the coffee kicks in. :-)
He was a stock character in 19th-century fiction: the wastrel son who runs up gambling debts in the belief that his wealthy family, concerned for its prestige, will have no choice but to pay off his creditors.You know the type, Dunstan Cass from Silas Marner or perhaps a better choice would be Wickham from Pride and Prejudice since this character's duplicity is masked by the myth he weaves of being an upright godfearing gentleman.
