I nominate McCain
With Scooter Libby, Abramoff, Cheney and all the other scumbags greasing up this town, McCain is such a breath of fresh politics.In the mail today came a letter from the Environmental Defense Fund. Enclosed was a letter from John McCain asking for EDF supporters to get their senators to support the Climate Stewardship Act. Of course if I had representation, I would get behind it, but I don't - and will leave that for another blog.
But back on topic. He adopts kids, spearheaded finace reform, was an officer, is against the torture of detainees, and he supports Climate Change legislation too. Forget Brad Pitt, Ethan Hawke and Orlando Bloom - my new crush is on John McCain. Swoon!
The Motorcade that Shouldn't
I was driving back from the airport on Sunday on Rock Creek Park. On this insider road that usually moves along at a fair clip, we came to an abrubt stop. And we stopped. And we stopped. After 5 lights and around 10 minutes, I called 311 - our nonemergency police number. They patched me in with Park Police.I explained that I was underneath the Kennedy Center and was waiting and waiting. The kind officer on the phone said there was an event.
I said - "oh the motorcade". He said, "something like that." I had noticed a number of presidential choppers flying overhead too.
Does one man's travel accross town really warrant multiple choppers, road closures, a half dozen Navigators, and a full on police escort. Doesn't the motorcade just call more attention to the situation and waste a lot of gas. Next time just get in a toyota and drive accross town. Please.

Oh Alexander, if only you could challenge Dick Cheney to a duel...
Can a Veep be indicted? Why, yes, yes he can. And has been: "Not long after he killed Alexander Hamilton in their famous 1804 duel, Vice President Aaron Burr was indicted for murder in both New York and New Jersey." (Washington Post via Wonkette).

Common Centerfolds
I was driving from an appointment in Northern Virginia, this BMW zipped by and cut in front of me. It was a girl, a bit younger than me. She had Texas plates and a W sticker. I thought to myself, another agitating, self-centered, bimbo, bleach blond repbublican appointee in Northern Virginia. My liberal, brunette and 7-year-old Forester driving self was annoyed just looking at her and everything she represents.
Stopped at a light I could see her face in her sideview mirror. She was zoning out singing a song.
I froze and laughed to myself. I was singing the same song, listening to the same station. J. Geils, Angel is a Centerfold. Maybe we aren't so dissimilar, mabye J. Geils is where we can start to take this land back from the corrupt scumbags (R & D) who are robbing us blind.

Explosive
Last night quick, violently-loud explosions were heard throughout my neighborhood. I knew that fireworks were going on at the Kennedy Center for a Chinese celebration. The first round went off, I felt fine. The second round, got me a little nervous. The third round of massive explosions shook the house. I live miles from the Kennedy Center. Multiple sirens blared all going in the same direction
I had two pregnant women, a baby and one other friend at my house. I wondered how we could all get out together. How and when would we meet up with my husband. A call came in from him. He was at the Kennedy Center; it was the fireworks.
Out on the porch I found many other neighbors who thought it might be time to evacuate too. Apparently 911 was flooded with calls. The sirens were fire trucks dispatched in response to the flurry of calls. One small crack in the veneer of normalcy, shows how on edge we in DC really are.
My, how the world has changed.
