Wasted Days and Wasted Nights

Freddy Fender died this evening in Corpus Christi, Texas. he was 69 years old. He was The BeBop Kid from the Rio Grande Valley that made it on the Hollywood/Texas walks of fame, played innagural parties for President's Bush and Clinton, won numerous grammys for his solo work, and collaborative efforts with The Texas Tornados and Los Super Seven, and there's a freakin' WATER TOWER with his face on it in San Benito.

Liveblogging President Pissy Pants

President Bush the young'n just said his administration tried to exhaust all diplomatic measures before committing the U.S. military. If it's one thing we can all take away from this administration, it's the fact that they are unapologetically diplomatic. Right. (On Foley) Has Hastert lost his credibility?

I think the Speaker's strong statements have made it clear...that he wants to find out the facts. All of us want to find out the facts. We need to find out what Republicans knew and what Democrats knew. Denny's very credible as far as I'm concerned. I think the elections will be decided by security and by the economy.

Fruedian slip..he just referred to Nancy Pelosi as the leader of the House. Was I the only one that heard that? Would you do anything different in Iraq?

Abu Gareff, he said. Abu Gareff, of course, translates to Abu Ghraib in everyone else's language. And that, my friends, is the only thing he "would have done different." One hour later. It's over. I wish he actually had something to contribute to these press conferences. His press conferences sound like his State of the Union addresses sound like his campaign stump speeches sound like his cable news interviews sound like the RNC talking points which can be read HERE.

And later....WHY I'M NOT VOTING FOR KINKY

But but but...what about Clinton?!

From Josh Micah Marshall's Talking Points Memo:

"Failure" =1994-2002 -- Era of Clinton 'Agreed Framework': No plutonium production. All existing plutonium under international inspection. No bomb. "Success" = 2002-2006 -- Bush Policy Era: Active plutonium production. No international inspections of plutonium stocks. Nuclear warhead detonated. Face it. They ditched an imperfect but working policy. They replaced it with nothing. Now North Korea is a nuclear state. Facts hurt. So do nukes.

It's been weeks

School seems to slow things down. I keep up with Bloglandia, but I tend to forget to post anything on my own. Today isn't any different, really, since I'm investing all of my time studying for midterms. Gross. Here's a new cut from Yo La tengo's new album, "I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Kick Your Ass." It's called Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind, and like everything else this band has released, it doesn't disappoint. powered by ODEO
