common ills community member isaiah has done another wonderful cartoon. this 1 is on the compromise re: the filibuster. folding star also has a strong editorial on the same topic at a winding road so please check that out.
my own thoughts on the compromise is that it is not only shameful, it's self-defeating. this was a game of chess and the democrats have been outmanuevered. they made a lousy move but worse than that they failed to anticipate the next move.
on the radio, i keep hearing people talking about the bright side of the compromise and saying that when the bully boy tries to break the agreement, democrats will waive the piece of paper, the compromise memo, and say 'he broke the agreement.'
question: when would they waive that agreement?
at the same time bully boy is saying they aren't holding up their end? so when that day rolls around, and we all know it will, how do you think it will play out?
is our big brave going to tell the truth?
like they've done all along?
if that's what we're counting on, we're really sad.
more importantly, bully boy didn't sign this agreement. hearing people on the radio say it would make him look bad is really stretching. that's akin to saying because jennifer garner walks off the set of alias, dyan cannon is going to look bad.
it's senseless.
and now we have priscialla owens on the bench.
anybody want to tell me what we won?
bueller? ferris bueller?
anyone?
no responses?
because we didn't win shit.
this was yet another cowardly move and we're all in danger more than we know if this is what passes for a strong opposition party in this country.
and we're in a hell of a lot more trouble than we know.
tomorrow they address the patriot act. have you weighed in yet? i know most of you have but it doesn't hurt to contact your reps 1 more time.
for those who e-mailed wondering why there wasn't a post yesterday, it wasn't my plan.
blogger went crazy and i wonder when they'll get their bugs fixed out. it is as frustrating for you as it is for me.
to make it up for you, i'll let you in on a little secret: ava and c.i. have a hilarious review for this coming sunday's third estate sunday review. i heard a rough draft over the phone and couldn't stop laughing.
