i've started reading al franken's new book "the truth, with jokes." so far it's pretty good---i liked "lying liars" better, but that's probably because it displayed much more franken humor. this book is definitely more truth than jokes, and once the reader gets over the expectation to be reading another "lying lairs," it pretty much cruises ( Read more... )

i love you more. and i miss you something crazy =)

we need to smack each other outta our respective funks. we gotta gear up for the midterm elections. and yeah, i should be in a fuckin rage about alito, but i just can't bring myself to even read the important sections of his hearing transcripts.

this book is well worth the $18 or so. we'll have to compare notes when we finish it.

is b-rad still in MI? how are you? i miss you so much, we really need to have a good talk soon. <3

ps---god, i love jon stewart. i'd do him in a heartbeat. al franken, too. LOL

for me it's a total feeling of powerlessness. every time I read something else I simply feel sick. dispondant. it's like feeling there is no hope in educating and turning around these people follow and buy into the neo-con ideology. we can rant and rave and point out inconstancies and all those things until we're blue in the face and still they refuse to even think things through. they refused to be even the slightest bit phased, let alone outraged ( ... )
