From Zaius Nation
How many Bush administration officials does it take to change a light bulb?
The answer is seven:
* One to deny that a light bulb needs to be replaced.
* One to attack and question the patriotism of anyone who has questions about the light bulb.
* One to blame the previous administration for the need of a new light bulb.
* One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs.
* One to get together with Vice President Cheney and figure out how to pay Halliburton one million dollars for each light bulb.
* One to arrange a photo-op session showing Bush changing the light bulb while dressed in a flight suit and wrapped in an American flag.
* And finally, one to explain to Bush the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.

Media - ATandT Censors Pearl Jam concert
AT&T... that bastion of free speech, decided it wanted to protect us all from the obscenity laced concert Pearl Jam did during the "Blue Room" Live Lollapalooza Webcast.
The obscenity?
No biggie, you say? It's their webcast to do with what they want, you say? Sure is. But remember... these are the same fuckwad corporations that want to put net neutrality on it's ass so they can censor (but lowering bandwidth) ANYTHING you or I or anyone else put on the internet.
Fuck AT&T. There... censor THAT!
The obscenity?
During the performance of "Daughter" the following lyrics were sung to the tune of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" but were cut from the webcast:
- "George Bush, leave this world alone." (the second time it was sung); and
- "George Bush find yourself another home."

Politics - 418
As of today, that's how many days off Dubya, the decider, the uniter not the divider has taken since he took office.
That's almost 60 weeks.
Which is more than the average National Guard member is getting between deployments.
How much damn brush is on that ranch!?!?

Current events - FISA and you.
Complicated? No!
Here's the short version...
ALBERTO GONZALES, liar, loyal Bushie and attorney general of the Corporate States of America, can listen to your phone calls and read your email with NO judicial or congressional oversight.
And your democratic majority in congress said it was just fine and dandy with them!
See? Simple.

Politics - Performance based pay?
Last week, the House of Reps voted themselves a big pay raise. Three of our Kansas house members (Nancy Boyda, Dennis Moore both dems and Jerry Moran a 'pub) voted no but 'publican Todd Tiahrt voted yes. It would take a miracle and twelve gallons of Guinness to get me to vote for Tiahrt anyway, but you can bet I'll be making sure all of my friends in the Wichita area know how this vote went.
The Senate has yet to vote on their pay raise, but I suspect Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts (both 'pubs, natch) will be lining their pockets a little deeper soon.
Fiscal responsibility, my ass.

Current events - A fitting tribute
My camera phone doesn't do it justice, but 3,586 small flags along the 9600 block of State Line Road in Kansas City are a moving sight.

Movies - The Searchers
John Wayne and John Ford. Should be a no brainer, right?
Well...
While I liked The Searchers, it seemed to me to be hit-or-miss. Wayne really was great when he played a racist (hates Indians) loner, fresh off the confederate battlefield named Ethan Edwards, but the script jumping years at a time made the film feel... disconnected (?).
Edward's nieces are kidnapped by Comanche Indians and he and their adopted brother, Martin Pawley, (who's 1/8 Indian) set off to find them. It takes years (12 if I remember correctly) for them to complete their search and back stories play out showing Edward's obsession affecting the people around him and becoming Pawley's obsession as well.
High points for me were the beautiful Natalie Wood as the kidnapped niece and Hank Worden as the goofy Mose Harper.
Two beeps.

Current events - Just to recap
The Supreme Court has decided that free speech is entirely too free, unless of course you are a corporation or a religious organization, then it's open season.
Short version is the first amendment applies only to those who donated to the Bush campaign.

Movies - Eragon
Really disappointed in this one.
With Irons and Malkovich I really expected more, but I've never seen a more cliched movie. After several scenes I pointed out to my wife where they were ripping off the Star Wars script almost verbatim.
Farm boy, raised by his uncle, meets a mysterious old wizard and goes with him to rescue a princess only to learn he has magical powers (and a dragon) and battles a dark wizard. (During the rescue scene I expected him to say, "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you!)
I give it one beep.

Politics - Sebelius the latest to be attacked by Dubya
I seriously fucking hate Dubya and every one of his spineless little cronies.
Now he's blaming my girl, Kathleen Sebelius, of dragging HER feet to help the residents of Greensburg. No person, let alone the President of the United States of America should be allowed to lie as often and as voraciously as this sorry excuse for a human and his cock-smoking administration.
It's never their fault! Ever!
He's a prick and anyone associated with him is a prick.

Humor - Mad cow
Two cows are standing around in a pasture.
One cow looks at the other and says: "Hey, have you heard about this new mad cow disease going around?"
The other cow says, "What do I care? I'm a helicopter."
