Oh My God, I'm Time's Person of the Year!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I didn't know I was even up for contention, after being kicked off CalCON, having posts deleted, and all... I though I was out of the race fur sure. If I'd known, I would have written a true acceptance speech, but this will just have to do.

I wonder who the runners-up were?

Christmas saved, 14 Trees at a Time


Halleluiah, SeaTac is safe for Christmas once more... and nothing says Merry Christmas more than plastic!

Maintenance staff worked overnight to restore the 14 plastic trees... Airport managers believed that if they allowed the addition of an 8-foot-tall menorah to the display, as Seattle Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky had requested, they would also have to display symbols of other religions and cultures. Airport workers didn't have time to do that during the busy travel season...

But wait... an inaccuracy at CalCON??? Where and how was the ACLU involved? The only reference to the ACLU, the Rabbi and SeaTAC are on... you guessed it, CONservative websites. The ACLU was not involved in the matter, there is nothing about it on www.ACLU.org, and no (reputable) news organization reports that the ACLU was involved. Hmmm... makes you wonder...

Worst president ever.

You've seen the ads. You've read the commentary. You know its the truth. And here it is, spelled out for all to see.

Historians are loath to predict the future. It is impossible to say with certainty how Bush will be ranked in, say, 2050. But somehow, in his first six years in office he has managed to combine the lapses of leadership, misguided policies and abuse of power of his failed predecessors. I think there is no alternative but to rank him as the worst president in U.S. history.



The reason that W is the worst is because he blends all of the characteristics that our worst presidents have had into one seamless mélange.


And the thing of it is, it just keeps getting worse.
