oh.

my.

god.

I was happy with the democrats getting the House back, but this... this is great.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi  D-Calif., the House speaker-in-waiting, said at her first post-election news conference that Bush should replace the top civilian leadership at the Pentagon.

Nancy Pelosi is awesome.

Fuckin' Rumsfeld.  

He was, honestly, my biggest problem with this administration.  I can breathe a little easier now!

I know Ratsprayer will be pissed though.  He was one of his biggest fans. :-X

If you think getting rid of the Republicans will put an end to corruption, you've no grasp on the reality of Washington. The nature of politics as a whole is that of corruption... call it pessimistic or realistic, fact is that most politicians, especially the ones who've been in the game for a while - are in no way interested in your best interests no matter what color tie they wear.

By the way... am I the only one who feels uncomfortable seeing the Sheriff's ballot based on their politcal affiliation? Just seems to me like it shouldn't matter.

hilarious post, mr. tony...

i'm loving the apologizing that is occurring across the board on cable news for the repubs losing and mr. rummy resigning.  the spin is amazing-you should hear that jackass cucker tarlson (hee hee) going on about things.  it's as if the talking heads just can't stand it that the people have spoken, and they tossed out the bums.  

now, back in '94 when the same fucking thing happened to the dems, it was a "revolution" and they were going to change the way government was ran-term limits, spending limits, a "contract" with america.  what a fucking joke that was.

It's just like in Football.... the coach has a losing season, everyone hates him and wants him out.... and so he fires a few of his sideline guys to try and save his own ass for the time being.


All I really have to say is...

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE?

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together?
In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through?

The happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh Wouldn't it be nice?

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true (run, run, run)
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married (we could be married)
And then we'd be happy (then we'd be happy)

Wouldn't it be nice? (ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

good night baby
sleep tight baby

good night baby
sleep tight baby

good night baby
sleep tight baby

good night baby
sleep tight baby

YOU STILL BELIEVE IN ME

I know perfectly well
I'm not where I should be
I've been very aware
You've been patient with me

Every time we break up
You bring back your love to me
And after all I've done to you
How can it be?

You still believe in me

I try hard to be more
What you want me to be
But I can't help how I act
When you're not here with me

I try hard to be strong
But sometimes I fail myself
And after all I've promised you
So faithfully

You still believe in me

I wanna cry...

THAT'S NOT ME

I had to prove that I could make it alone
But that's not me
I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now
But that's not me

I could try to be big in the eyes of the world
What matters to me is what I could be to just one girl

I'm a little bit scared
Cause I haven't been home in a long time
You needed my love
And I know that I left at the wrong time
My folks when I wrote them
Told 'em what I was up to said that's not me

I went through all kinds of changes
Took a look at myself and said that's not me
I miss my pad and the places I've known
And every night as I lay there alone I will dream

I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty
I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready

I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty

I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty

I can't come up with anything clever to say... but I will say that whoever made this gentle, sincere, caring, honest, intelligent, Christian man and loving father cry is guilty of treason.
