NANANANA YA SAY ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY -

[kyburg]

Well, Happy Birthday to YOU! grammom and angelicate!

(Hey, I could get to like this.)

I am reminded this morning of a promise I made to myself with the first post I made in this journal:

Note to self: this is a party line. No posting about anything that party of the first part will not know about party of the second part. And so on and so forth.

If I can't discuss it with all of you - I won't discuss it at all. And no, leaving AHA things for other people to find, not fair.

Tonight - I find out if our application with DCFS is salvageable. Saturday, we attend orientation with another adoption agency. (I'm really on the fence about how much I'm going to keep posting about this - the new agency has a very visible web-presence.)

And for every other purpose, today is Tuesday.

In other news, who hasn't heard about the 24K cajones Al Gore grew yesterday? (Thanks to joseph_palmer for the full text of the speech.) C-SPAN has a link for the video.

Problem with gold though - it's soft and breaks easily in its pure form. I've had nothing but excellent luck with men from Tennessee (unclejimbo is one, Boss is another) - but while this is an excellent speech and easily historical in scope and content, it's going to get drowned out by some pretty petty name-calling if it's allowed.

Invading another country is not fighting back.
Imprisonment and torture without cause is not fighting back.
Religious intolerance is not fighting back.

The list continues to grow. OH - telling lies and performing character assasination as a matter of record - is not fighting back.

Catching the perps, bringing them to trial and putting them in jail - IS FIGHTING BACK.

Accept no substitutes.

Hmm. I'd argue Republicans who *sounded* like Libertarians did the damage. What say you?

I don't think they sounded like libertarians at all. No self-respecting Libertarian I know, little l or big L, is for snooping around behind peoples' backs, flouting the Constitution and international law, or anything like that. The Libertarians I know are for staying the hell out of other peoples' business and leaving them alone, be they individuals or soveriegn nations.

Republicans they may well have been calling themselves. They sound decidedly Fascist to me.... which, if you google on World's Smallest Political Quiz, you will learn is the polar opposite of Libertarian.
