Well, I’ve come across it before, but I think it is time to add Capitol Hill Blue to my regular reading list. Here’s an interesting article that claims that Bush might really be loosing it. Based on the level of detail asserted, either it is true, or someone’s begging for a lawsuit.

Capital Eye has a a nice article on corporate support for both of the corporate parties.

My horoscope from The Onion:
Scorpio: (Oct. 24 – Nov. 21)
Your promise to rebuild the world with blood, pain, and legal pot will resonate with the weirdest voting bloc yet recorded.*evil grin* Mwahaha.

Stolen from The Kevblog
People don’t expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all. They know we can do better. And they want that choice.
– Barak Obama
Barak Obama is a Senate candidate from Illinois who nicely illustrates the promise of the Democratic party that my parents and grandparents believed in. Please take a moment to check out the full transcript at Featherly’s Kevblog. While I don’t agree with every conclusion Obama makes, he presents a vision I can respect.

Also weighing in, from a different side of the spectrum regarding the DNC, is Something Positive:
“What?! I don’t know how they do politics in your old fisher-price country, but here in America, this freak show is how our politicians make up for the next four years of fuckin’ us in the ass.
*chuckle* Yep. Sometimes I feel like the main difference between the Dems and the Repubs is whether they’ll use lube and give you a reach around while they’re at it.
My. That wasn’t very PC, was it.

Finally, a nice short political philosophy written by Michael Atherton:
My Political Philosophy
- Axiom of Rights. Every individual has the right to live their lives as they see fit, as long as their actions do not interfere with the right of others to do the same.
- Axiom of Responsibility. Every individual has the responsibility of following and being aware of when they are violating Axiom 1.
- Axiom of Government. Governments are created by individuals to insure that Axioms 1 & 2 are adhered to, to enforce contractual obligations, and to promote the General Welfare.
- Axiom of Disobedience. In the event that any government does not responsibly enforce the first three axioms an individual may, on their own responsibility, violate any governmental dictum.
Things to think about…

Have a great weekend!
