I have this one on my youtube favorites already. FDL rocks.

Good Morning, Firepups!

Clear and mild this morning in central Jersey. Haven’t been around the ‘Lake much except as a lurker. Our basement flooded when the sump pump kicked out after the April 14th deluge, so early mornings last week were spent cleaning up the mess [which is still pretty messy]. Mr. NJP’s parents were both hospitalized over the past weekend, so much fretting around here about their long term needs.

Meanwhile, NJ’s gov is off the respirator. Yea! But Corzine’s still on heavy-duty pain killer meds, so Dick Codey remains acting gov.

Mr. NJP is off to stay with his dad, who comes home from the hospital today. He’ll be gone a few days, and then his sister will come for the weekend. Health problems for aging parents–the lament of middle age.

Oversight is a truly wonderful thing. Harry Reid seems to have been expecting the push back from the administration and is doing his own pushing back [three cheers for Democratic spines!]. I still have hope that Congress will do the right thing and end the awful war in Iraq.

I’m going out for bagels. Coffee’s hot, so help yourselves.

Work for peace, every day.

My brother lives in NJ and had a flooded basement for his birthday on the 15th thanks to tree limbs and power lines. Is this a conspiricy to get NJ Dems?

new thread…

it figures. my timing is impeccable these days.

Just read the Kucinich articles of impeachment. It’s all about misleading the public and Congress about Iraq. Nothing about all the other stuff.

I suppose the real reason that impeachment is off the table for Pelosi et al, is that a conviction requires 2/3 majority in the Senate, and the Repugs would never let that fly, no matter what the evidence. They’ve already proven that they will sit on every crime they investigate, so why would they listen to real evidence? They already know he did it.

Still, it’s depressing that this stuff is going nowhere. Let’s hope for some good subpeonas today. At least we get those.

2 schools of thought (well, maybe more than that) – 1) Leahy, Waxman and Conyers building a case for multiple impeachments, working towards getting the 2/3 Senate majority before Nancy steps in or 2)Impeachment ties them up pretty good for the next year or so. I prefer door number 1 myself.

uh oh…did I miss hilary at the lake?

Perris,

that was just after we had Tom Matzzie from Moveon – and today is John & Teresa Heinz-Kerry

red herring boy on CNN – now

mornin’ all. egregious has special powers here (and elsewhere). please dont try it at home. was very disappointed in the surprise Hillary visit yesterday. I simply could not bring myself to misbehave in Jane’s house, but would like to have told her to go home and bake some cookies. (ducking)

uh oh…did I miss hilary at the lake?

holy crap I would have loved to talk to her…damn this busy season of mine, I won’t get here half as much as I need to
