It says something that all the news channel jumped on the Michael Jackson verdict rather than ask Mr. Bush why he LIED to the American public, British allies and Congress.

I read earlier last week about scandal fatigue relating to President Clinton, yet it applies more to Mr. Bush. I mean there has been more bad press in the blogosphere and the MSM about him and what he did, versus what President Clinton couldn't keep his dick in his pants, while Mr. Bush has increased the deficit, the economy is resting on a real estate bubble and we are overseas in an ILLEGAL WAR in Iraq, not to mention not having Bin Laden in custody after 4 YEARS and watching our soldiers die over there for lack of simple equipment and tactics issues. Every day I hear more shit from Mr. Bush, and its enough to make me sick. Hell, I've been sick since 2000 when Mr. Bush stole the election thanks to his brother and Ms. Harrison, now a Congresscritter.

Of course Mr. Bush's cronies and supporters are reaping the benefits while a lot of Americans are struggling day to day to put food on the table, roofs over their heads and some education in their children's heads. Healthcare is a laughingstock, where if you have the money, you get high quality care, and if not, tough titty. You wouldn't even be able to declare bankruptcy if the breadwinner in the family gets sick and has huge medical bills, thanks to the credit card companies sleeping with Congress. People with tech skills are going begging for jobs while companies looking to save a few bucks send jobs overseas. I think jobs should go overseas only if there is no qualified people at home to fill the positions. Education in public schools in the MAJORITY of places are merely places to park kids, and teach them to believe whatever an authority figure says is true.

Bullshit. The shit is getting deep in Washington and we as a country need to quit bending over for Mr. Bush and his cronies and take back control.

I've been playing off and on a rather old game (1999) for the PS1 called Star Ocean; The Second Story. Its a cute little game where you decide which of two people you will be playing, and the person you don't choose will join your party later on in the story. It is an RPG from Enix which merged with Squaresoft last year. I like it, but I don't really like the fact that save points in dungeons and towns are few and far between. The gameplay is interesting. You level up with exp gained from killing monsters and you get skill points at each level up. You get to decide where to spend your points to help your characters learn new specialities and gain in stats. Things like magic spells and finishing moves are learned automatically so you don't have to decide between a stat boost or a powerful magic spell, which is rather neat. The storyline is very good and has some lovely twists. There is a bit of a rarity though, it has voice acting. The voice acting, due to media contraints(PS1 titles are on CD-ROM) is things like magic spells, attack moves and level up cheers only, but it is very cool.

I've posted pictures of our new addition. She's a purebred Doberman Pinscher, 9 weeks old on Monday and oh so sweet. We picked her up Friday night and she's spoiled rotten already. We have her in the house for now until I housetrain her then she'll be outside more and come in at night or when its too hot or cold or wet. Her name is Raven since she is black. We're keeping her ears natural and perhaps breed her when she is older for about 1-2 litters. But we'll see. I also have a picture of my little one, Emily. She had just gotten up in that picture so she was still sleepy. She adores Raven and today they wore each other out chasing each other and wrestling. We're keeping an eye on both of them, since Emily hasn't grasped the meaning of being gentle with animals quite yet and Raven is little as well.
