I just love stuff like this.

Gore's not so green

Hypocrisy is omnipresent in the political community, no doubt. But for someone who crusades as he does, wouldn't his apocolyptic viewpoints have greater credibility if he were to actually do some rather obvious things in his own life?

Gore is just an example of someone who expects everyone else to change how they live, but is unwilling to give up his extravagances. I do not begrudge anyone their extravagances or wealth, but stop telling me that my SUV (figurative - I don't actually own an SUV) is going to kill the planet while you heat and cool a 10000 square foot home (among other things).

All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

As the great Civil War General James Longstreet once said; "You can't lead from behind".

If Gore wants us to follow him, he better get out in front to lead the charge!

I loved the part where hippies were "thrown into the arms of Richard Nixon"

classic:)

Connecticut poll

I am certain we will be getting polling updates on this nearly daily until November, but early on Lieberman has a lead and is polling better than his opponent.

Prior to any polling I figured he had a shot as an independent. It looks like he may be the one to beat.

I figure that if he stays up in the polls many dems will start to endorse him to look good when he wins, and that will pave the way to them bringing him back in the fold do that they aren't down a senator after November.

George Will said this morning on This Week that he wouldn't be suprised if the Republican Party endorses Lieberman (and since the Republican candidate has some ethical problems they have a good excuse).

From today:Pardon me, but "we" didn't disrupt anything. Why is he taking credit for something that the British uncovered? I've read nothing to suggest that the US played a role in uncovering this plot.

Not that I was that scared to fly anyway, but I'm heartened to hear that SFO is going to start scanning airplane cargo. My non-stop flight to Orlando next week will probably be just a little bit safer than my return flight.

However, I wonder why Bush and co. are making such a big deal about carry-on screening when they're still not checking cargo. 5 years after 9/11 and 18 years after Locherbie, you'd think they'd be on it.

Here's an interesting article about it in today's WSJ.

A coworker from one of our other locations flew into John Wayne yesterday. He loves the new restrictions...couldn't be happier to walk onto the plane and not have to shove past scores of people swinging tote bags and cramming things into overhead bins.

It's a team thing......kinda like if the Dodgers were to ever win the World Series(not happening btw)---all the fans would be saying "we won"

I know, I know.....another awful and painful analogy from sj;)
