This Day Bringths

For the mosth part, the day has brung me
A few thingsth.
Lack of sleepth, sore teeths. Another sthuffy nose.
And a heavy head controlling jittery handths.

Beerths would fixth it, if the Newsthfilter made it.
If I could just bastheline..... Mark a bench.
Maybe live the moment on someone elseth's list.
Alasth.....

I musth depart, coughdrop and everything;
But it'sth okaaay, cause I wander and she wondersth,
Stapleths, hue & ball.

I present a newscast from 1982.....

It appears that the good $enator Craig has been a cocksucking fag since the last century..... He would be a lot better off if he would just embrace his queerdom. So would we.

One WoofDog's Struggle to keep $enator Vitter's indiscretional hypocrisy alive in context of $enator Craig's indiscretions

Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) apologized last night after his telephone number appeared in the phone records of the woman dubbed the "D.C. Madam," making him the first member of Congress to become ensnared in the high-profile case.

The statement containing Vitter's apology said his telephone number was included on phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates dating from before he ran for the Senate in 2004.

The service's proprietor, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 51, faces federal charges of racketeering for allegedly running a prostitution ring out of homes and hotel rooms in the Washington area. Authorities say the business netted more than $2 million over 13 years beginning in 1993. Palfrey contends that her escort service was a legitimate business.

"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter, 46, said in a statement, which his spokesman, Joel DiGrado, confirmed to the Associated Press.

"Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling," Vitter continued. "Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there -- with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way."

Neither Palfrey nor her attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, could be reached for comment last night. Sibley told the Associated Press that his client posted the phone records of her escort service on the Internet yesterday, four days after a federal judge lifted a restraining order preventing their publication. The records were included in a series of files on a Web site devoted to Palfrey's legal defense fund.

"I'm stunned that someone would be apologizing for this already," Sibley said.

Vitter is in his first Senate term after serving six years in the House. During his Senate campaign, Vitter was accused by a member of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee of carrying on a lengthy affair with a prostitute in New Orleans's French Quarter.

In a radio interview, Vitter then called the allegation "absolutely and completely untrue" and dismissed it as "just crass Louisiana politics."

Vitter was the first senator to endorse former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani for president and serves as the campaign's Southern regional chairman. A reliable conservative vote in the Senate, Vitter was among a small group of GOP lawmakers who sought to block an immigration overhaul from advancing last month.

Vitter and his wife, Wendy, a former prosecutor, have four children. On his Senate Web site, Vitter says he is committed to "advancing mainstream conservative principles" and notes that he and his wife are lectors at their hometown church.

Vitter attended Harvard University and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University. He won a convincing victory in 2004, defeating two Democrats with a slim majority of the vote, to succeed John Breaux (D).

Palfrey, 51, titillated national media this spring by threatening to auction her list of clients' phone numbers to the highest bidder. She said she needed the money to pay legal expenses, but in May U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler ordered Palfrey to keep the records to herself.

That move came after Palfrey and Sibley had turned over a sizable portion of the 10,000 phone records to ABC News. One client contacted by ABC reporters was Randall L. Tobias, a deputy secretary of state, who said he used Palfrey's escort service for massages, not for sex.

A day later, on April 27, Tobias resigned from the State Department, reigniting the media firestorm over Palfrey's records. That was seemingly snuffed out by Kessler's temporary restraining order two weeks later, but Kessler vacated her order on Thursday, clearing the way for Palfrey to post the records online.

Pamela Martin and Associates hired college-educated women in their 20s, sending them to male clients in the Washington area who, according to authorities, paid $275 to $300 per sexual encounter. Palfrey said that, so far as she knew, her employees and clients engaged in legal sex play, such as erotic role-playing.

Fucking hypocrites. It's just not fair how Republican politicians, in the course of legislating morality for the rest of the country, get to be gay, use drugs and screw whores, while the rest of us have our lives taken away if we so much as even *think* about doing these things. If we peasants said to a judge that we've spoken to God, our wives and our marriage/drug counselors about the situation, and that we have no further comment, do you really think that our debt to society would be forgiven just like that? Think again..... You'd most likely lose your children, your home, your job, your spouse. Folks, these people live in a different social echelon where they are exempt from law. Wake up! $enator Craig (the dude trying to pick up other dudes in an airport bathroom) will most likely apologise to his wife and church and claim that it is a personal issue that we have no business knowing about. What the fuck! He is legislating morality for us that says queer folks can't marry other queer folks. Yer Goddamn right it's all of our business.

Konkgresshunnal Hickkupssssssssss.....

I just signed a petition calling on my Representative to reject the Bush Administration's sweeping claims of executive privilege and to take whatever steps are necessary to enforce these subpoenas, including supporting a resolution holding Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten in contempt.

Our President and Vice President keep trying to reshape the Constitution and declare themselves above the law. Congress must stand up for itself and protect our constitutional checks and balances!

One of the next steps Congress can take is to vote to hold Miers and Bolten in contempt. President Bush is trying to block Congressional oversight with blanket claims of executive privilege. The president has even ordered the Department of Justice not to enforce charges of Contempt of Congress. But Congress needs to fight this fight and send the president a message that its authority will not be ignored.

OMG

Just Sum Werds & Stuff

Just getting ready for the last semester of graduate school to commence, trusting that I will complete my thesis/exit exams with enough chutzpah to become a Master of Science. There are other things going on, too..... I just find it hard to put 'em on this page.

A happy note, I & some of my grrlfriends have been recording mine & our musics into digital formats. I hope to put a tune up on MySpace very soon called "Emotional Reactor." I will post the links here.

Corporations control us. And for what means? Dollars, kids, dollars...... I just saw a movie that I don't know the name of. But the Black Box Voting watchdog group was involved. Veeery eye opening. Hacking the vote is easier than ever, leaving nary a trace. That's the way the lottery is going, too, since balls aren't tossed around. Computers are good and evil, just like the people who have created them.

Anyway, I digress. Please check out the Black Box Voting website by clicking the above link.

Alert! Alert!

Websense, an Internet filtering program, has just
expanded their control of information in the U.S. by not allowing blogs and social networking at hundreds of public libraries, colleges and universities across the country.

Saudi Arabia, Yemen and China have also used Websense to prevent "blogging" and social
networking in their countries. We can not get to any blog on blogspot.com from our college without
triggering our filters.

This move comes at a time when upcoming election are a hot topic on these blogs. If
you are not familiar with Websense, Wikipedia has an excellent entry.


The AWD writes: It's a fucking shame that our civil liberties are diminishing at an accelerated rate. Who knew that the Internet would have created it's own demise? Well, you probably cannot read this anyway, especially if you are at a public library. Dog help us if we cannot have freedom of thought and expression of thought. It's not just Amerika that is suffering. Where is peace? Where is compassion? How will we ever "progress" if we keep getting medieval???

More on the Chief Justice’s Seizure

Update, 11:32 AM Katie Zezima of The Times’s Boston bureau just filed this report from Rockport, Maine:

ROCKPORT, Me., July 31 – Chief Justice John Roberts was released from a hospital here late Tuesday morning after being kept overnight as a “precaution” following a seizure, hospital officials said.

Mr. Roberts, clad in a navy sportcoat, blue shirt and khaki pants, walked out of Penobscot Bay Medical Center around 11:20 a.m. Looking jovial, Mr. Roberts exited the hospital’s ambulance entrance, waved to a crowd of waiting media and stepped into a waiting red Ford Expedition. The car, trailed by a beige Crown Victoria, quickly pulled out of the hospital parking lot.

Hospital officials did not release any additional information on Mr. Roberts, who doctors said suffered a benign idiopathic seizure.
