Bummed out:

  • "Pro-democracy" Bush administration silent on the antics in Mexico.
  • House passes bill to repeal estate tax. Bush approves, saying it's a matter of "fairness."
  • House set to pass bankruptcy bill. New Democrat Coalition supports it.
  • According to USNews, after Bush's 60-day Social Security barnstorming, there may be an immediate follow-on 120-day campaign.
  • NASA budget still pared down, threatening Voyager and Hubble. Nobody cares (except Tom Toles).
  • Continued harsh rhetoric against Republican appointed judges from Dobson, et al.
  • Ann Coulter in Time magazine's top 100 list.
  • Powerline blog still taken seriously by the media.
  • Cardinal Law one of the selected few holding a Mass in Rome following the pope's death. Boston diocese abuse victims ignored.
  • Brooks, Limbaugh, and others line up to support John Bolton, a guy who was denounced by a conservative, Republican, Bush & Cheney admiring, State Department official.
  • Bush and Republicans retreat on cutting farm subsidies.
  • HUD budget slashed.
  • Republican's changing long-standing Senate rules that encourage compromise (blue-slip, filibuster).
  • Republicans supporting bills in Congress that will override tougher state laws on the environment and privacy.
  • Big coverage over the fact that Bush will toss the baseball in the Washington Nationals opening game (bring smelling salts to revive David Broder and Chris Matthews after they swoon).
Our response?

"Ann Coulter in Time's Top 100 list"

Take heart it's in the Arts and Entertainment category and as far as I know she doesn't paint.

Hitler painted, so I see the conection. Though his paintings showed more talent that her writing.
