Echoes in a Hollow Space

Random quote of the day:


"The Bush Administration asserts that the ice cap is not melting, but the water is being liberated."

—Jon Stewart, The Daily Show





( Illustrated version. )

Lynn and I were discussing how barf-inducing it was to hear Karl Rove boo-hooing as he announced his resignation this morning.

Lynn: He's worse than Cheney. Cheney's junkyard dog, cut-you-off-at-the-knees mean and evil, but Rove's all that plus slimy.

Pam: He's sort of the okra of political advisors.

Lynn: And Cheney's one of those Chinese peppers they hide in the kung pao chicken where you know as soon as it crosses your lips you're in big, bad trouble.

Pam: And Bush? Is like zucchini overcooked in corn oil and then left on the counter for about nine hours straight before it's served to you so by the time it hits your plate it's ice cold and it's got that greasy rainbow sheen and you know if you take one bite you're gonna be real sick.

Lynn: I think we've pushed that metaphor a bit too far.

Pam: That's always a problem with me.

He played a good game there for awhile, even had me thinking he might be all right, but ever since he got down on his knees in front of the ultraright and George Bush I've been disenchanted, to say the least. And this just about finishes him off as far as I'm concerned:

This is a war of free speech, nothing more. The people had a little too much power for the likes of McCain and his ilk.
