Summer Going Well

Well, how is everyone's summer going? My summer is going very well. My internship with the Washington State Democrats is going very well; I'm learning quite a lot. The Dems will be moving to a new office space next week, so I will be setting up a practice network this week to try to anticipate problems for when we set up the new network. I must confess to being very nervous about setting up this new network. I don't want to be responsible for the Dems losing any races because I fucked up the network! I doubt it would be that bad, like I said, I'm just nervous. Every one I work with is very cool and I'm really enjoying the learning experience.

Eurosport Summer

What with The French Open, Wimbledon, the World Cup, and the Tour de France, my DVR is really getting a workout!

The World Cup was so much fun this year! Yes, yes, The US team sucked, but it was still fun to watch. I would have liked to see the championship match be between Germany and France, with France winning, but oh well.

And how about Floyd Landis in the Tour? I don't know if he really has a chance at winning this year, but it would be cool to see an American other than Lance Armstrong win. That would drive the French crazy because they see an opportunity to win one for the home team this year what with Lance not racing. It seems to me that the field is pretty wide open with Lance gone, any one could win it this year.

Well I suppose that's all I've got for now.

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.

Republican Desperation

Consider for a moment: The republicans have already resorted to vote fraud in both the 2000 and 2004 elections, engaged in illegal redistricting in Texas in order to gain more seats in the House of Representatives, and propagated the most vile smear campaigns against Democratic party candidates at all levels, just to name a few things. Now consider that the republicans have to know that the Democrats stand a very good chance of regaining the upper hand in both the House and the Senate in the up-coming elections. If this happens, the Democrats will have subpoena powers to compel the release of documents that will undoubtedly show the world exactly what kind of thuggery the republicans have been engaged in. The republicans have to know that impeachment procedures will be initiated in the Senate against President Bush for his crimes against, and lies to the American people. These things being true, I am very concerned about what the republicans will be willing to do (and what they are per...
