Playing Chicken With The Constitution
"Al-Qaida is not going on vacation this month," said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. "And we can't either until we know we've done our duty to the American people."
"I hope that there are no attacks before we are able to effectively update this important act," said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee.
This boils down the "debate" on passing Bush's new power grab quite effectively. The democrats are once again being asked to stand up for civil liberties and our constitutional freedoms in the face of taunts by the GOP.
Terrorists might atttack us. If it happens and you refuse to pee on the constitution, we are going to blame you for it is what the Republicans are saying. This is an especially good reason not to play along. This argument can never be won on these ground rules.
Allow us to put a spy camera in every single car. If you don't Al Qaeda might win. Allow us to search every American's home without a warrant. If an attack occurs that we could have prevented by this, guess who is at fault?
The cowardly response by Democrats is as alarming as the gleeful destruction of our liberties by the Republicans. The GOP sounds like they want an attack against us just to score some political points.
The democrats will once again cave, just like they did when being afraid to look weak on a vote to authorize force against Iraq. They never learn their lessons.

George Bush Declares Himself Urinary Executive
Realizing that the unitary executive idea isn't getting a good review with congress or the american people, George Bush has declared himself the urinary executive instead.
For a man of 60, George Bush has excellent prostate health which he prides himself upon. At his last check up, his doctor remarked that Bush had the colon of a 35 year old. Proud of his results, Bush decided to practice peeing hard for the American people.
Here is an example of his latest work. Laura helped a little bit with aim, but George thought he was headed in the right direction.

Look at that gestalt of splotches. Pollack would be proud. So would Alberto Gonzales. Bush was able to keep the W out of urine doer's path and the results are simply amazing.
Next look for Bush, or 'the UE', to pee on the mold at Walter Reed. He heard that kills the fungus. "Read that on the internets, looking up at the googles.", he was heard to remark.
