Hillary

What a day!!! If the rest of the week is anything like today, we're in for a wild ride. Today started like any other. We checked into our rooms here at the Red Lion Hotel. Pretty nice spot so far, but I'll keep you posted. After getting settled in, we caught the light rail to dowtown  Denver. Houston  please take note, you could learn  a thing or two from this rail system. It runs all around the city. We went to a Green Piece Festival. There were all kinds of energy saving gizmos and gadgets. Clothes made of 100% Hemp, waterless toilets, waterless water, etc. It was pretty lame until I got to the organic vodka tent. This peaked my interest and thought it would peak yours as well. Because I wanted to be able to report to you with as much accuracy as possible, I felt I had to take one for the team, so I had a glass with a cranberry mixer. I wasn't quite sure with only one drink, so I decided to take another one for the team. Needless to say, the festival wasn't that lame anymore.

After leaving the festival, and taking in more scenery of downtown Denver, we started back towards the train terminal. As we approached the terminal, there were huge masses of people, and behind them stood platoons of heavily armed and geared up riot police. They had helmets, vest, cuffs, tasers, glocs, billy clubs, bobby clubs, harry clubs, brass knuckles etc. They looked like an army of ROBOCOPS. It turns out that there were some protesters blocking the light rail tracks. With such a show of force, the protesters were quickly disposed of.....I mean dispersed rather quickly.

 We walked a few more blocks and ran into another group of protesters. It was two Hillary protesters. Yes, two. Only two. With all the hype given to this story by the media. You would swear there were armys of them. I'm not saying they're not here, I just don't see them.I decided to engage them in conversation and they weren't able to give me one single reason why they were not voting for Barack. After 2 minutes, I knew I wouldn't get any where with them, so we moved on towards the train. My day gets much more exciting, but its exactly 03:50 in the morning, and I have to be at my delegation meeting at 0700.  I have to sign off now, but stay tuned for the rest of my story. You don't want to miss it.

Heroes

• Richard Morrison - who ran a strong campaign about then Leader DeLay in 2004 has begun a Draft Noriega to draft Richard Noriega to run against John Cornyn in 2008. Just for grins, I'd rather see Cornyn run against a box turtle, but if his opponent must be human, Noriega looks good to me. As Hal at Half Empty reports, the launch was forced earlier than planned thanks to Kos and Turn Texas Blue.
• State Senator Rodney Ellis - has rounded up the votes to block the Republican voter suppresion, I mean ID bill.
• Sinbad - not dead. He survived death by wikipedia.
  

Zeroes

• The VA Nurse - who failed to visit patients and listed dead patient as 'stable'. No name has been released yet.
• Victoria Toensing - Yes, we know you played at Barry Goldwater's knees as a young attorney, but when the CIA directory says Valerie Plame was covert, that's a fact, not an opinion. Oh, and I know it's a woman's perogative to lie about her age, but not when you're under oath. You weren't 25 when you helped write the Inteligence Identites Protection Act, no amount of botox can amke it so. Has anyone every been prosecuted for perjury about their own age? I only recently started being er less than honest about my age. It's only because the men I meet all seem to be so much younger than me. Why spoil their fun?
• Alberto Gonzales - exchanged emails with Karl Rove discussing the upcoming prosecutor purge
• Albert Mohler - discusses how you can tell if your unborn baby is gay and what you can do about it. It's human nature for straight people to be curious about homosexuality and a little uncomfortable with that curiousity. It is not normal to be as obsessed with homosexuality as most of these right wing nuts who feel the need to write about it on a daily basis. But you knew that..
• Hillary - chose the one major city without an anti-war protest today to mark the 4th anniversary of the Iraq invasion. Coinicidence? I think not.
• Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - He planned 9/11, killed Daniel Pearl, planned the attempted assassination of the Pope, kidnapped the Lindbergh baby, put the iceberg in the way of the Titanic, outed Valerie Plame, fired the 8 US attorneys, set last year's wild fires, approved Vioxx, flooded New Orleans, betrayed Jesus to the Romans and gave Eve that damn apple. Maybe now the Republicans can stop blaming Bill Clinton for everything (except NAFTA).
• Texas Youth Commission Board - ousted yesterday. Don't let the door hit you........
• John McCain - can't be bothered standing up for non-custodial parents' rights. He acutally said, and later apologized for saying, "But for me to stand here before all these people and say that I’m going declare divorces invalid because someone feels that they weren’t treated fairly in court, we are getting into a, uh, uh, tar baby of enormous proportions". Not because he was unsympathetic to a citizen's concerns, but using the phrase tar baby. Who even thinks of a term like that when they're campaignng?
• The Faux News Reporter - who got his panties in a twist because a soldier didn't want to interview with him because of Faux News' politics. Support the troops, unless they're a motherf*&ing Democrat and aren't afraid to say so. What is Faux News doing in Iraq anyway? Isn't Anna Nicole still dead?

I checked with some online friends after Keith Olbermann's interview with Hillary because I could swear I heard her say "I was against the pre-emptive war before we went in.! Right there on Countdown.

As if she didn't vote for it. I kid you not.

I'm not one of her biggest fans, so I invite a Hillary supporter to explain, because I'm confused.
