Vacation!

Not that you'd really notice, what with the sporadic posting here the past few months, but I'm going out of town for the next ten days or so and probably won't post anything until I get back.

So, just to keep up the status quo here while I'm gone: Bush = bad, Cheney = worse, impeach both of the lying, criminal SOBs and get the hell out of Iraq.

Have fun and play nice in the meantime, kids!

Sentenced!

Here's some good news: Scooter Libby has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison, and an additional two years of probation following his term, for lying and obstruction of justice in the Valerie Plame scandal. He was also fined $250,000. No word yet on whether or not Bush will pardon him he will have to begin serving his sentence immediately.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but here at The Generik Brand, we say lock the little bastard up today!

A Monday Full Of Random Flickr Blogging

Do you see the imprint of a horseshoe on this image taken from the surface of Mars? NASA says it's just a trick of the light; and adds, rather unpleasantly, screw you and the horse you rode in on.

Grease is the word, it's the word, it's the word, it's the word... (What? You thought I was going to make a joke about breasts and thighs, or "finger-lickin' good," didn't you? Sorry, I'm too chicken.)

"Hey, guys? The Crazy World of Arthur Brown just called. They want their 'Fire' back. They say they need it to burn."

World's. Worst. Cappuccino machine. Ever.

What with all the gamma-irradiated alien sperm flying around the intergalactic rave, Connie found herself immediately pregnant, and twenty minutes later delivered a healthy ET-human hybrid that rocked the hizzouse with his phat beats.

The safari wasn't a complete washout, as we were able to bag this one Japanese tourist. No wildebeest, lions or Bwana Devils, though, unfortunately.

G.I. Joementum

"Hi, my name is Joe, and I wonder if I could interest you in a bloody little debacle that's lasted over four years now and shows no sign of abating any time in the near future, but is actually doing very, very well. Here's my card... my number is right there under the crossed-out 'Democrat'."

YearlyKos Fundraiser

Late notice, I know, but there's still time as of this writing: There will be a fundraiser for the YearlyKos Convention tonight here in San Francisco at the Roe Restaurant and Lounge, 651 Howard Street. Markos from Daily Kos, Congressman Jerry McNerney, folks from Calitics, MoveOn and the Oakland and SF chapters of Drinking Liberally will be in attendance. It's quite possible that one or more BARBARians will be there as well.
