Well, good morning Judge - How are you today?
 
"We are not final because we are infallible, we are infallible because we are final."  Remember, Bushfaces, he gets to appoint judges to that club.  For life.  We're talking Gene Siskel coming back with half a brain and loving Babe: Pig In The City life.
 
I'm also confused by the fact that the candidate who wants to put the power back in the states' hands went running like a bitch to the Federal Courts.
 
Speaking of Bush, I realized something else I hate about him.  After watching Gore's exceptional (in content & delivery) concession speech, I realized that while other people write politician's speeches - they need to be delivered as if they're coming from the speaker's own thoughts.  It's called being a communicator.  It's called Public Speaking 101.  You want robotic?  That's W.  You want stiff?  That's W.  You want someone who seems like he's listening to the words resonating in his own, empty skull - having no idea whatsoever about what he's saying?  That's W.  Be honest here, Republicans.  You know it's true(©).  As I may NEVER understand why anyone would vote for him, we've apparently got him for 4 years.  And, as the Republican's have turned Washington into an arena of scrutinizing the person, not the job he's doing, we'll see if the poor little rich boy survives.  It's going to be an interesting ride, kids.
 
Favorite Song Of All Time This Week©:  "Mystery Achievement" - Pretenders
 
Actually, the only thing more depressing than Bush's immanent presidency is that 12/15/00 may be the last Howard Stern broadcast.
 
The concession of Gore also brings us our first unkept political promises:  I haven't seen For Sale signs in front of Alec or Bab's houses...
