All I know is that Bush won. He was bound to win, but this easy? Thinking of it in the context of a sports analogy, everyone knows the Cavs will lose to the Pistons, right? Well, at least they are going down fighting and keeping the scores close. That's all I wanted with the Iraq funding. But after a feisty first quarter of the game, the Democrats laid down and got destroyed. They did not even give LeBust to lose the game by scoring 4 points in the 4th quarter.

The House Democrats passed new ethics legislation yesterday that would penalize lawmakers who receive a wide range of favors from special interests, and would require lobbyists to disclose the campaign contributions they collect and deliver to lawmakers. This legislation is solid and was something the Republicans refused to pass for the last 14 years. Now its up to the Senate.....and Harry Reid.

Eight US troops died in Iraq yesterday. About 1000 troops have died since last Memorial Day. I just hope Congress enjoys their holiday. Perhaps Nancy Pelosi can go get some more plastic surgery with the extended vacation.

When I think about how the Democrats are now split on the war, I guess I should not be surprised. Half of the Senate Democrats voted for this dumb war in 2003. The party has a lot of political hacks, with no courage of conviction to stand up and say what's right. These "red state" Democrats are the worst, but you know they are just worried about reelection. That is why you need a good leader to keep them focused.....the Democrats have Harry Reid.

I am glad more money will get to New Orleans. Hopefully it all gets there, but I doubt it. Considering the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the govt hurricane resource) is spending $4 million to publicize a 200th anniversary celebration, while the agency has cut $700,000 from hurricane research. So putting Katrina money in Bush's hands will probably mean more money for the fiscally irresponsible Bush to piss away.

At least this bird that shit on Bush during Thursday's press conference had some courage to stand up to Bush.
