Tiny Additional Post

That's why I try not to do current events posts. There's no way to keep them "brief". Anyway, I just wanted to register "big-ups" here to my Senator. Senator John Warner. Not the most visible of the "Human Rights Four" or whatever they end up being called, but he's probably the most important since he's the chairman of the freaking committee where all of this is going down. Johnny-boy, there have been times since the last election that I regretted voting for you back in... whenever it was, but you have come up strong here and reminded me why I voted for you. I may not always agree with you, but at least I can respect you. You have some integrity and principles, and there are some lines you will not cross. And I respect that. So, let's hear it for Senator Warner! As for Senator Allen... please just go away. Allen Update: During a recent debate with his opponent, Pseudo-Democrat Jim Webb, Senator Allen was asked about his mother's possible Jewish heritage, specifically, was she (and thus Allen, according to rabinnical law at least) in fact Jewish? Allen simply went apeshit and shouted at the reporter that asked the question, visibly angry, about leaving his mother out of it and keeping religion out of the campaign and that she (the reporter) shouldn't be "casting aspersions" on people. Wow.

Since when is mentioning a possible Jewish ancestry "casting aspersions"? Psycho. The man himself has mentioned several times that his grandfather (mother's father) was sent to Auschwitz by the Nazis. Was he sent there for being too True-Blue American or something? Whatever, Allen's a dipshit. I'm really hoping he gets shown the door in November.

Bon Voyage!
