If you can’t stand listening to/looking at the guy, you can read it instead (can somebody ask him what happened to Bush’s moon base? And when will the colonizing of Mars begin?).

Monthly Archive for January, 2006
I cleaned out my email box today (well — most of it… there’s still a little to go for tomorrow). The mail tends to build up, since on most days I usually only have time for action items and people who are crying out for my attention. In the meantime, all the mailing lists and other stuff — the forwards, links, jokes and stories that people send — accumulate until I have the occasional day every month or two when I can spend some time slogging through it all. Here are a few choice tidbits from today’s inbox adventure:
Bush makes an appearance at a Jeff Foxworthy Roast
A different take on local activism
The Gay Agenda (text after the jump)
Choosing the right font really does matter!

Yikes! Wonker (my name for the now Cox-less blog) has been redesigned and it looks huge! I haven’t checked in for some time, so maybe the new look has been up for a while — sorry if it’s old news… and speaking of old news, this isn’t exactly a breaking story, but I just became aware of it (and it’s the reason for the “gak!” in the heading)… According to one of yesterday’s entries on the above-mentioned blog, my sister and none other than Dick Cheney share the same birthday! Fortunately, not only is she much, much, much younger than he is, but they don’t actually have all that much in common — she doesn’t sneer, she hasn’t fought for a policy of torture, she never lied to get this country into an unnecessary war, she hasn’t used taxpayer money to pump up her stock options, she isn’t a draft-dodging chickenhawk, she has no DUIs on her record, she never sold out her kid to appease her wingnut base, and she hasn’t ever told anyone to go fuck themselves on the floor of the Senate. Whew. 
UPDATE (in mid-February): just to be clear, my sister never confused an old man with a little bird and she never, ever shot anyone in the face!

The senators who supported a filibuster. Props and all that. Sorry it didn’t work out. Screw the rest of ‘em.

It was a beautiful, warm, sunny Saturday, so I painted the front of the house this afternoon. I’ve taken a quick look around the web for news this evening, and discovered that Ned Lamont is coming closer to challenging Joe Lieberman in Connecticut’s primary, Bill Frist and Chris Matthews are still a couple of dicks, and if you haven’t seen it yet, there’s a great SOTU video that’s been circulating for the past few days. It’s hilarious (and if that’s not enough and you need still more Bush impressions — and Clinton, Pacino and Madden — check out this video). More later… I’m tired…

Sorry for the late creature. Chattablogs was down this morning when I usually check in with the blogs…
We finally got some sun here this week, and this goldfinch was kind enough to pose for me for several minutes a couple of days ago.
Need a bigger creature fix? Head on over to the ark for more, and have a great weekend!
UPDATE: don’t miss this week’s breathtaking orchid pic on AmericaBlog!

Pat won something! And he’s in fine company — he beat everyone from Oprah Winfrey and George Lucas to Thomas Friedman and Jim Guckert, and even Johnny Damon (”going from the Red Sox to the Yankees is like fucking the guy that murdered your husband”) in this list from The Beast (via OneGoodMove).
Exhibit A: Vehemently opposed to voluntary abortion in America, but okay with forced abortion in China, where his cable investments depend on the good graces of the government.
Truly, he’s one of the most twisted and evil SOBs ever. There must be a special place in hell reserved for people like Pat, who is pissing all over Christianity in his rush to the bank.
In 2005, Robertson called on God to vacate seats in the Supreme Court (the almighty obliged, killing Rehnquist), advocated assassinating Hugo Chavez, said “judicial activists” were a more serious threat to America than terrorists, called criticism of the war treason, said John Roberts should be thankful for Hurricane Katrina, which he implied was “connected” to Roe v. Wade, attributed Ariel Sharon’s stroke to divine retribution for the Gaza pullout, said “the Antichrist is probably a Jew alive in Israel today,” and implied that God would wipe the residents of Dover, PA off the map for rejecting Creationism. Not to mention raising huge sums of cash from his zombie army, much of which is diverted from his charity operations to his business interests, including African diamond mines. Has long advocated that America simply ignore the Supreme Court. Robertson’s God is an insecure, misogynistic, homicidal fanatic — just like Pat.

So says Chris Matthews, anyway.

The week has started off busy, with a project at work that won’t go away and a to-do list that’s longer than my arm so I haven’t been able to do a whole lot of reading/writing/surfing, but here’s a quick link that I found on Google Maps Mania at lunchtime yesterday: GeoBirds! It’s a cool Googlemaps + bird range data mashup. (Chad, maybe it will help with your Carolina vs. Black-capped Chickadee challenge!)
