Will I ever tire of finding these photos with Bush doing funky hand gestures?
[AP on Yahoo!]
No, no, I will not.
Site status report: PD is incapacitated at the moment, SW! and I are busy with our day jobs, and Rawhide, well, he's somewhere out there. Anyway, we are trying to keep the site updated as best we can, but please bear with us . . .
No, today isn't really heralded that much in the states anymore. Instead, we celebrate women's history all month. Perhaps the socialist history of the international day is the reason we don't do much for it . . .
Help a woman out today:
This post actually has nothing to do with Bush or him having lost his mind (!!!!). Instead, via Austin Chronicle's The Chronic, it's supposedly the Myspace page for one of the TYC guards accusing of raping teenage boys in the state's custody.
Unfortunately, he recently set the profile to private, so we're not privy to the pictures of XXXRAYVIJON with porn stars, as ran in the Statesman recently. And what's with "XXXRAYVIJON?" Is he 41 or 14? Someone please kickfuck this dude like now.
From a reader:
the press submitted an open records request to the senate, maybe the house too, im not sure. they're looking for all documents, emails, letters, etc about TYC going back a few years. looks like if someone has something to hide they better hire arthur andersen and get to shreddingZoinks.
Remember the first time you ever heard of a white person dragging a black man behind a truck? Remember the disgust and bewilderment and then the shame that this happened in Texas? Well, time to conjure that up for a second time. It's happened again. (source)
More than 30 small towns in Vermont want to impeach Bush [Reuters]. Yeah, but if we impeach Bush, we get stuck with Cheney, y'all. And that is just wrong.
The Texas Youth Commission sex scandal is shifting focus. We'll undoubtedly stop hearing about teenage boys getting raped as the much more interesting story to self-involved politicos comes to the surface...who to blame? Finding and placing blame and then wondering if you can trust new leadership to clean up the mess is so much more interesting politically than finding out what went wrong in a system that allowed 47 confirmed cases of sexual abuse against boys.
Since the blame game has started we know that injecting real change and stop gaps to prevent this from happening again is now just a matter of a few meetings and press releases. If you're a pedophine with an interest in criminal justice, there's an exciting career still waiting for you at the Texas Youth Commission!
Matt Sanchez, a 36-year-old Columbia student and Marine Corps reservist, has been appearing on all sorts of conservative talk shows like the O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes, whining about being mocked for military service by those lefties up at Columbia. And then Sanchez was feted at the CPAC conference— the one where Ann Coulter made her "faggot" remark.
Sanchez, it is now known, had a successful career as a gay porn star and male escort. Apparently starring alongside his "11-inch monster cock." We have nothing against gay porn stars or 11-inch monster cocks for that matter, however, we are a little old fashioned that if this is your past how about not going on TV?

Explaining 4:1 (Foley, Haggard, Gannon, Sanchez to Dems Tom Malin)
So sez the jury in the Scooter Libby trial.
Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was convicted Tuesday of obstruction, perjury and lying to the FBI in an investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity.
We wonder if Valerie Plame will discuss this in her upcoming conversation with Keith Olbermann. . . if not sooner.
The Texas Legislature is obsessed with pedophelia this session, maybe it's contrition for how they all managed to rape the children last year with the education debacle and the CHIP debacle and the foster care debacle. Wait a second, why exactly do we trust the lege to do anything right by Texas children again?
Making it a death penalty offense to sexually abuse a child makes for really good headlines thogh.I guess that makes it alright. After all, nothing beats a good sounbyte does it?
We're all busy today, it seems. To tide you over, some ridiculous stories:
- DeLay doesn't think Democrats are "patriotic" enough.
- Because Ann Coulter doesn't get enough media coverage, CNN and FOX give it to her, letting her spread her homophobic, slanderous word.
- You know it's bad when Michelle Malkin speaks against Coulter.
- And in the last Coulter-related news for the day, John Edwards will gladly take your money to "fight back against the politics of bigotry".
Two things Superwow! sent over:
- HJR74 proposes an amendment so that legislators can designate a successor should they die. What a nice bequest to receive from your dead uncle: elected office. As SW! sez, "democracy = overrated."
- The Waxahachie Daily Light speaks truth to power (Craddick=power in this scenario).
