Mrs. Clinton said she had been busy raising funds for Democrats around the country and needed to get money together to protect herself from the onslaught promised by the Republicans after the 2004 elections. For Sunday’s dinner, the Clintons invited people who had raised $100,000 or more for the senator during the last year.
And can I run a big bold ‘Hilary Lies!’ when she decides to run in November?
Interesting op-ed yesterday in the WSJ by Senator John Cornyn. There’s a lot of anxiety in the halls of Congress about the lack of ability to operate without a quorum in the event of a terrorist attack in DC. He’s promoting a Constitutional amendment to simplify the operation of the Legislature, citing important things like After the Sept. 11 attacks, Congress responded swiftly in appropriating funds to bolster national security, stabilize our economy and provide for victims’ families. He sees Congressional action as the key to the US surviving 9/11, not the actions of the citizens.

Aside from being a raging drunk, I’ve never dabbled in recreational pharmaceuticals. But my general libertarian impulse is that we oughtta legalize many of the substances we’re currently at ‘war’ with. John’d posted a while back about the link between X and Parkinson’s; this article implies that the studies may not have been as conclusive as thought.
The study was based on the fact that laboratory monkeys and baboons had a severe reaction to the drug when it was injected in small doses. But it emerged this weekend that the vials of liquid did not contain ecstasy. Instead, the animals received a dose of methamphetamine, or speed – a drug widely known to affect the body’s dopamine system. The tubes had somehow been mislabelled by the supplier
First, an apology – work has picked up lately, so there’s much less time to blog. Second, with the return of “cool” weather, my running shoes have started calling me again. In any case, I’m vastly in need of the fabled work-life balance.

I previewed the movie Underworld about 3 months ago at WW and I am on the edge of my couch waiting for the full release, weekend after this one. I came across this review for it at Penny Arcade and it cracked me up.
Romeo and Juliet is a G_ddamn timeless template. I saw it set in Ireland with an all female cast and it still worked, one family was all lesbians and one was all dinosaurs. You just can’t f*** it up. You dab your eyes at the end and wonder what is so wrong about the love of a lesbian for a dinosaur.
From this crazy site you can see what this blog would be like if Snoop were in charge .

I have been trying to overcome a sense of dread for Alabamans since I heard the news that they rejected the proposed tax hike that Governer Bob Riley proposed. I know that just a few years ago Alabama universities were on their way up, but they do rank 6th for people 25 years and older with less then a high school diploma .
State schools Superintendent Ed Richardson said Tuesday night that the results could mean cuts in everything from textbooks to football for Alabama schools. ‘We’re looking at possibly a four-day school week and at charging fees for everything that’s not required for graduation,’ Richardson said. He said that would include charging a fee for students to play football or to play in the band.
Without a decent football program, graduation rates are sure to drop even more! Maybe they can find someone to pay the players football fees?
The Pixies are doing a reunion album and tour
When I listen to my Death to the Pixies album, I inevitably think to myself “Man, they don’t do it like that anymore.” I don’t know if it’s because I listened to them at such an impressionable age or what – but when I listen to the Pixies now, I am reminded how much most of what’s out there today sucks.
So I’m happy they’re getting back together.
