phinished?

sidebar of the people

Have to do one of those tough things in life this week ... bury a relative. My Grandma Hill passed away (or as Butch would understand was "Promoted to Glory") on Sunday. She was 94 and lived a wonderful life. It is nice to believe that someone you love is going to heaven and you will be reunited someday. (I know Butch gave his thoughts a couple of weeks ago on the whole topic.)

May God Bless you all this Christmas and Holiday Season.

Yeesh, the 11-2 2-11 (duhhr, thanks Eric) Dolphins beat the 12-1 Pats? Ah well. Maybe a dose of reality will be good for this team in the playoffs.

Editorials of the Moment
What 'I' get to do, as president, is make promises that I know perfectly well can never be kept, and then to make Congress break those promises for me. I don't have to change 'the principles I believe in' because I know more responsible people in the government will violate them and take the blame.

Those 'principles,' then, are really nothing more than the narcissism of a spoiled child.

Slate really rips into Bush's last press conference
...was it as bad as all that? Should our Commander-in-Chiefs new motto be the buck stops over there, so don't ask me? And is his "strong leadership" just trying to make others make the difficult decisions? What a lame figurehead.
