I don't know if I should admire folks who blog several times a day. There are some ones that I'm glad are around, Crooks & Liars, Daily Kos, et al. But life goes in cycles and lately I just haven't had much to say. If this were a journal-type thing then I could drather on about stuff no one cares about, (as opposed to what usually goes here), but right now I don't have a lot of new stuff happening upstairs...things seem kinda muddy and I haven't been able to quite figure out what the heck is going on.

The War Criminal is tumbling and there really hasn't been any reaction on the pseudo-left that has impressed me...and I'm tired of bitching about them. They're not going to get changed from the inside and most folks don't (or refuse) to see the value in looking outside the Democratic Party. So the only thing I would have to say about it is what I've already been whining about for a while.

The government has stopped being so bold and is now doing all of their facist crap more discreetly. In theory, The War Criminal has 2-3 years left in office, there will definitely be a pendulum swing then if not in the 2006 elections then things may go fairly back to where it was when Clinton was God...which means our expectations are pretty f-ing low for our leaders. But before you get to that there is one thing that has to be taken care of that not enough people are talking about or dealing with...

The facist right has control of the voting machines. They've set it up so that they control the election outcomes...there are third world countries that have cleaner elections than we do. And the press doesn't cover it enough and people just accept it...there should be rioting in the streets over this...this is democracy...voting...and the so-called "patriots" have co-opted it. Until someone who isn't evil gets a handle on this it's not going to matter what the polls say or what reforms are enacted.

OK, a few weeks ago (!) I promised something in a lighter vein...let's get to it. One of the bewildering things that brought people to this site was the pictures I posted of the lovely and talented Biba. I wouldn't call her the Anna Kornikova of table tennis, because I think she may actually win on occassion, but she's the reigning hottie of ping pong. So I told this story how there were "Biba, Marry Me" signs at this tournament held up by...uh...people who need to get out more often...and it drove people to whitee.com. In the words of Jerry Seinfeld:

Who are these people?

So here are some gratutous pictures of Biba Golic:


Well, that's enough of that.
