Some Things Even Cross the Line for a Democrat

It looks like Cynthia McKinney could lose the primary, which would restore some of my faith in humanity. She basically accused Bush of murder with admittedly having no evidence, which makes her a complete nut. But what does that make the people who elected her? Hopefully they are disgusted enough to giver her the boot.

There is also all that about the suspicious donations on September 11th, but I’m willing to give her a pass on that. She seems to dumb to be evil.

Blue

Apropos to nothing, why are there blue pens? Why? Really, what’s the purpose of a blue ink pen? Anything official you want a black pen for, but it seems most pens these days are blue ink, and I have to wade through a bunch of stupid blue pens looking for a manly black ink pen. Oh, I cherish my black ink pens and try to keep from losing them. So, again, why blue ink pens? Is blue ink cheaper? Is there some reason someone would want their writing to be a fruity color? I know this is a strange gripe, but I hate blue pens.

A Time for Inflamed Rhetoric

Bush’s response to the Jerusalem Hebrew University bombing has been the usual, “I’m angry. I’m furious,” sort of thing, but, when there seems to be no end to the terrorism, it would be nice if he stepped up his rhetoric to shake things up again. A statement like “The U.S. will not rest until these scumbags are tracked down, gutted, and their families strangled with their entrails.” would let Hamas know we’re serious. That, and a cruise missile.
