Lately, work has been all-consuming. And it wouldn't behoove me to post about that in a public forum. Blogs are funny that way. Your candor is limited by your potential readership.
I have, however, had time for laughs at some of the more recent political goings-on. My favorites include:
Last week, ABC News ran a piece that interviewed soldiers in Iraq who were pissed off at our government about various things. The White House response? Unnamed White House officials leaked that Jeffrey Koffman, the reporter on the piece, was both gay AND Canadian.
Our favorite Senator from PA, Rick Santorum, says that the Catholic clergy molestation scandal was the fault of the liberals.
The Energy Bill is going to pass... after all mention of renewable fuels and mandatory increases in automobile fuel efficiency have been stripped out.
Supreme Court nominee John Roberts has repeatedly said he does not recall if he was or was not ever a member of the ultra-conservative Federalist Society. Turns out, he was on the steering committee in 1997-98.
GOP response to Rove's troubles: Presumably under orders from the White House, Senator Roberts, chair of the Senate Intelligence committee, has announced that he is opening investigations against both the CIA's classification of "under cover" and the special prosecuter Pat Fitzgerald himself who was appointed to investigate the leaking of Valerie Plame as an under cover CIA agent. Well... that's one way to get Karl Rove out of hot water. This is from the guy who said there was "no time" to investigate the torture scandal or the lack of weapons of mass destruction.
Meanwhile, Halliburton secures another multi-billion dollar no-bid contract from the Administration.

maybe I'm stupid, but how will changing daylight savings time really help to save electricity?
Maybe this will help you feel better about your job situation. This week I have to go to Detroit for an American Idol Live Tour show my client is sponsoring. And, I have to hang out there all day and do a meet and greet with the Idols. Then do this again next week in Chicago.
That reminds me of the time I had to warm up the crowd for the Bacon Bros. show at HAT's Planet Hollywood.
