"President" Al Gore on SNL

Crooks and Liars - Al Gore as President on SNL

A reminder why we would have been so much better off!

A little entertainment on Mother's Day.

Senate leaders clear path for immigration bill

It's back.

Best to get this settled and taken care of already.

I wonder if it will happen before the next election?

GROWING INCOME GAP SUGGESTS SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS

GROWING INCOME GAP SUGGESTS SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS - Yahoo! News:

"Then there are the families who are wiped out by a catastrophic illness or injury -- a child's leukemia, a father's fall from a ladder. Even a health insurance policy that pays 70 percent of hospital costs can leave a working family struggling to pay the rest if the bill is big enough. Drug costs for chronic illnesses can also drain the finances of average families.

Neither the president nor his economic advisers seem to see those ugly realities beneath the relatively good unemployment numbers. (For that matter, neither do highly paid journalists in the Washington-New York corridor. On political ommentary shows, they, too, often express surprise that Americans are not more optimistic about the economy.) The income gap keeps growing, and Bush and his team have lost sight of the have-lesses."

All too painfully true - and for far too many of us. Something needs to be done about this situation!

It's good to see him looking foolish.

Moussaoui gets life in jail

Moussaoui gets life in jail - Yahoo! News (Reuters)

"'America you lost!' Moussaoui shouted as he left the courtroom. He clapped his hands and shouted, 'I won!'"

Huh?

Well, consider the source.

It is so good that Moussaoui did not get the death sentence. For two reasons: (1) the death penalty is wrong, period (2) Moussaoui would have been considered A Great Al-Qaeda Martyr Hero in the cause of Islam, killed by the Great American Devil/Crusaders, or whatever it is that they call us these days.

By throwing Moussaoui in jail, then throwing away the key, Moussaoui is denied that "pleasure and glory."

Consider also that he may be one of the least popular inmates in the prison, possibly even less popular than serial child molesters/murderers and the like. Yeah, he'll have fun...
