Hats Off to Jim Webb

Sen. Webb opened and quickly closed the Senate today, with most Senators out on Christmas break. The purpose was to prevent Bush from nominating recess appointments. I don't trust this president and what's more the idiot nominates criminals and other idiots. We only have a year left but Bush has proven he can screw things up in less time than that. Republicans will write off the Democrats and these maneuvers, which will continue through the break, as destructive impediments to doing the country's work. I'm sick of hearing this from self-serving bastards who wasted the country's time and money when they had control on pet projects and rubber-stamping a boob's failed foreign and domestic policies. Freeze up Bush. Make him even more impotent. I'd rather have nothing done than something done by an idiot and his lackeys.

Vick Gets 23 Months

The monkey was sentenced today to 23 months. The dog lover in me wishes he could be watered down and electrocuted (or at least given a longer prison sentence), but I understand that we have an overburdened prison system with drug dealers, murderers, and the like. It still infuriates me that people like Jamie Foxx and Jesse Jackson could support this barbaric monkey, that the fact that Vick is black means more than his actions. It's also sad that he might play ball again. I hope Goodell keeps him out but I doubt it. At least he's taken a huge financial hit that he will probably never recover.
