I should begin by apologizing for my inadequate posting of late. Not just inadequate in quantity (this is only the second time this week), but in quality as well. It's definitely not from a lack of material, I can assure you. Unfortunately, I seem to be suffering from writer's block. With all of the things to be writing about this week, I find myself sitting at the computer night after night with good intentions but nothing more than a handful of disconnected observations and snarky comments.

So as I attempt to work through this, here's a few links to some of the stories I had hoped to write about this week.

Common sense prevailed in Dover, PA.

Even the judges on the FISA court say that Bush's spying is bullshit!

No matter what they say, Clinton and Carter DID NOT authorize warrantless searches of Americans.

Cheney tells the needy to "Go fuck themselves."

A bunch of congressional members (mostly Republicans) are shitting their pants.

Wal-Mart got what they deserved.

Tom Daschle eviscerated the Bush administration's lies about domestic spying.

Bush took a slap in the face over the Patriot Act.

Some Iraqis are pissed about the election.

SCOTUS nominee Alito opposes Roe v. Wade.

And finally, I'd like to pat myself on the back and say "I told you so," about the troop withdrawals.

I'm hoping a little holiday cheer will clear my head and get me back on track. If not, maybe a few rum & cokes will do the trick. Either way, I'll be back next week. Monday is the kissfans' anniversary so I'll probably see you all on Tuesday. Until then Happy Holidays. I hope everyone has a peaceful, joyful, and relaxing holiday season. I am truly grateful for those of you who visit here regularly. You help keep me sane. Thank you.
