Hey, do you smell flying bacon?

Bush Admits Responsibility.

I'll let that sink in for a minute. Not that it's won me over, by a long shot, but it's about fucking time.

Went for a walk at lunch. Found some guy's wallet outside of Boston Market. Handed it to the manager on duty. In retrospect, I could probably have dialed 411 on my cell phone, gotten the guy's number, and left him a message, or called the cops myself.

Still need to rent a wood chipper. Preferably one big enough to digest a 200 pound redneck, albeit unburdened by a conscience or sense of honor. [note: this is not, in fact, a reference to GWB]

Like I told one of my co-workers, that admission and a few dollars will get you coffee at Starbuck's. Disingenuous ass that he is, I can only see it as political posturing and damage control. Now the same asshats that voted for him can feel all warm and fuzzy about what a big guy he is to own up to the responsibility.

Sorry, bullshit. He's got a national address planned for Thursday? WTF? He was soaking up camera juice immediately after the 9/11 attacks. I guess it's a lot easier for his handlers and spin doctors to make him look good when he's defending the country from homespun terrorists than it is to make him look good for being devastatingly clueless and surrounded by such staggering incompetence that the consequences have assumed historic proportions.

I don't feel even the slightest bit better about his "admission". It's just a smoke screen so he won't have to hold any of his supporters accountable. After all, the buck stops with him, right? Now he can stay surrounded by these boobs and stay shielded from American reality.

But how do you -really- feel, Frank? ;-)

And, more importantly, did your clan weather the storm OK?

Sorry bout that, my bitterness is hangin' out ;)

Mom did amazingly well. Coelo came away with minimal damage on the home front. And out of the the NOLA contingent, the ones I'm keeping the closest eye on seem to be recovering, but even so, there's no joy in Mudville :/

Wrapped up in the NOLA area as I am, I've utterly failed to ask if you guys took any damage when the storm blew your way? Hopefully none or at least no more than friends and beer couldn't sort out in a weekend.

Regardless, this whole mess has rather re-oriented me mostly away from bitterness now to smarmy sentimentalism. I might stay tucked under my rock, but you and K are most definitely in my thoughts. Dunno that I'll ever be able to watch another storm warning with quite the same bland "oh, they'll be all right" approach. We've all seen where that leads :/

My sentiments exactly. Well said.

Now if only our face man didn't make me pity innocent chimps for the unfortunate resemblance :/ Methinks we agree too well.

LOL! I have the Bush/chimp face match shots prominently displayed in my office.

Can Somebody sue Dubya, on the Chimps behalf?
