Holiday Dinner a la Republican

It’s good to see that the Democrats have found their balls and have started to go after the Bush administration. Sen. Harry Reid’s calling for the closed session to get the ball rolling on Phase Two of the investigation of just where in the hell those pesky Weapons of Mass Destruction got to, is like yummy gravy on the heapin’ helpin’ of turkey and stuffing that is the indictment of Scooter Libby. Tom DeLay’s indictments on money laundering charges are like that delicious green bean casserole that your grandma brought every year, and the promise of indictments against Karl Rove are you mom’s mashed potatoes. The potatoes were lumpy (like Karl), but that’s okay because you love your mom and you kinda like the lumps.

The fact that the Dems are getting any play at all out of asking Bush to promise not to pardon Scooter is like the pumpkin pie and ice cream after the meal. But, to what should I compare the whiskey and cigar that really finishes it all off? Dick Cheney being “frog marched” out of the White House in handcuffs? Bush, himself, being compelled to give testimony?

It’s hard to say. I’ll let you fill in what you think would be the whiskey and cigar that tops off a holiday meal. I just know that all the sudden I’m hungry.

Bob Newhart - Comic Genius Passes Away

 A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.

Math Anxiety

I don't normally blog my school experiences, but I just found out today that I have to take more math. I thought I was done with math, but now I find out I have two more classes to take. I am so upset I can't hardly breath. I am so math phobic it's not funny. No, really, it's not funny. I have anxiety attacks in math class. I start to sweat and sometimes I literally start to shake. Years ago when working on my philosophy degree, I had to take logic and did relatively well. And I get so tired of having people tell me that since I did well in logic, I should do well in math. Well, it doesn't work that way, at least not for me. Otherwise (meaning except for the math) things go well. I am actually ahead in my Cisco class, primarily because I didn't take any math this quarter, and my Net Security class is a breeze. Fucking math! Whose ideas is/was it that one has to be a math whiz in order to work with computers?!
