Time, Time, Time, See What�s Become of Me

I want to thank Roscoe Bartlett ,( a Republican congressman from a red district in a blue state with a red governor, representative of the district where I am still registered to vote in the state of Maryland), for voting against the renewal of the Patriot Act. Should he still be alive when I return I am going to go and give him a great big kiss for the effort. Weekend mail bag:

Dear Alice in Wonderland or Not We have been monitoring your blog, and email recently (as allowed by the laws that the current president makes up as he goes along); it's not that we think you are a terrorist or pose any immediate threat to national security, but because you have shown, at any given time, a great irreverence for the leadership of this country. You also get a lot of email from Brown University and that alone, as you can guess, is a red flag. We do not take it lightly when some young democratic college student who is registered to vote as a resident of one blue state, is attending college in another blue state, wears blue jeans and claims her father is "The Architect" of our current administrations climb to power while at the same time portraying him in a photograph as being a rather lecherous potentially incestuous father at that. If you had just not had him staring at your chest missy, we wouldn't be writing you now. We call this type of activity cyblandery - a form of internet slander /forgery. We therefore are within our rights as we understand them ( ha what's to understand really you ain�t got no rights bitch) to continue to monitor your internet activity and any further email you receive. We understand you go to a school where periodically the administration hacks into professor/student correspondence, so this should not be a new experience for you. (The world is awash with conspiracy missy) In the meantime: We'd appreciate it if you would decease photo-manipulating pictures containing republican government officials into your family album, unless of course you can portray them as the gentlemen and women they are and treat their photographs with respect. (we prefer the word photo � manipulations to photo-shopping as it sounds more secret agent worthy) Hint: Your activities would not have been scrutinized so completely if Mr Rove had been presented as your boyfriend (in place of that treasonous comedian from HBO) instead of your lecherous daddy. You may take all the liberties you desire on photos of television personalities, as long as they are not FOX television personalities. Democrats on any level of government are good candidates for cyblandery and feel free to exercise your creative license on them. We enjoyed looking at your private correspondence, it makes us hot ( and god -- that phone sex you have does more for us than the Paris Hilton Video ever did - yea we listen in on those too), and god knows in this cold world reading something that promotes a quick masturbatory effort while reading the emails of others and talking to Cheney on the phone,is always welcome. Happy Holidays Remember, Big Brother is watching, and we don't mean that traitorous grad student at Brown who carries around that silly man-purse your mother bought when he graduated from that treasonous bastion of decadence in Connecticut last year. Go Huskies.

Weekend rehash: Check out Pia�s great post from her blog reposted partially on Pandagon...where they blah blah bla-ed about it in the comments.Some people can't see for forest for the trees.

Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery Weaving time in a tapestry Won�t you stop and remember me At any convenient time Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts Of unpublished rhyme Drinking my vodka and lime But look around, leaves are brown now And the sky is a hazy shade of winter Hang on to your hopes, my friend That�s an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away Simply pretend That you can build them again
