NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

You have got to be kidding me. According to this review from Libertas the new Superman stands for "truth, justice, and all that is good"!!!!!!! What the...? The rest of the review doesn't get any better. Bummer.

"New Direction" Is It?

Nancy Pelosi, in an interview with USA Today outlines the Democrats strategy to win back Congress this fall:

WASHINGTON — Democratic House and Senate leaders are planning to reduce the cost of student loans and prescription drugs, raise the minimum wage and launch an effort to develop alternative fuels if they win back control of Congress.

Hmmmm... Nothing about the war? Nothing about immigration? They do mention this as part of their platform:

The agenda also calls for enacting recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, formed after the 2001 terror attacks, to boost national security and funding for it, and for eliminating about $18 billion in tax breaks and subsidies for oil companies. Pelosi said savings would go to develop alternative fuels.

That's what we call playing defense -- it's a complete loser. It took then this long to come up with this brillant plan (they've been promising to unviel their strategy since last year)? It's looking more and more like the Republicans are going to have an easier time retaining their majorities than was believed just a short time ago.

Roved Cleared, Moonbats Mourn

A quick note about the reaction of the Moonbats to the news that Karl Rove will not be indicted. Here's a post from DailyKos today (via The Corner):

I don't think I've ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago. She just couldn't understand why the President would be going to Iraq when so many things are wrong in this country. "Doesn’t Mr. Bush care about us anymore?" she asked pitifully.

I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why the President seems to be abandoning his country. "Honey, I think his boss, Mr. Rove, sent Mr. Bush out of the country in order to keep himself out of the newspapers. You see, he wasn’t sure if he was going to be arrested today or not, and so he planned Mr. Bush’s trip ahead of time just in case...”

I tried to keep my voice steady, but it became increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessness were just too much. I think my daughter could tell something was wrong. I found myself at such a loss for words - nothing made any sense; nothing makes sense anymore. I finally had to admit, "Honey, I just don't know - I don't know what's going on in this country anymore..."

When I finished her lower lip started to tremble and her eyes began to fill with tears, "Daddy" she said, "why are the Republicans doing this to the country?" Well, that was it for me: I finally fell apart. She just fell into my arms and we both began sobbing for several minutes.

For once she had to comfort me and get me back on my feet. Sometimes I just think it's too much, but seeing the strength in my young daughter's voice helped me to get through.

Truly pathetic and hilarious at the same time.

After Long Hiatus

To my loyal readers (hi Jim and Jim), sorry about the long period without any post. I was in the Keys for a week and work has been hell since returning. My boss suffered a minor heart attack while I was gone and needless to say things were a bit hectic for a while.

He's back to work now and things are returning to normal, so hopefully I can begin to post regularly again. There has been a lot going on in the world of politics and I've got plenty to say, so stay tuned.

In the mean time, I'm going to live blog Tropical Storm Alberto. Here it goes:

It rained some yesterday, and today. The end.
