The Tuesday ‘BushWhack’ing

As I pull my money out of the bank and put it into my mattress, here's today's 'BushWhack'ing...

  • Citing continued concerns about a looming recession, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates 3.5% at an unscheduled, hastily-called meeting this morning… the stock market didn’t take notice as stocks plunged at the start of trading today, with traders virtually ignoring the emergency rate cut… (this is not good, and the next conservative lemming that says to be the economy is healthy is going to get a good swift kick in the balls…)
  • The Democratic presidential candidates held a debate last night in South Carolina, and the mud was slinging and the jabs were trading… with Obama and Clinton being the primary instigators with Edwards sitting back and promising to ignore the mud and speak on the issues…
  • House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) has had enough of the sniping and has publicly told President Bill Clinton to “chill out” regarding his attacks on Obama on behalf of his wife’s campaign… one has to think that Mr. Clyburn is not the only one getting sick of the petty sniping, and if it continues, both Obama and Clinton could see their voters flock over to Edwards…
  • Today is the 35th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade… I merely mention it because I like to see conservatives reaction when they read those words…
  • With the a week away , the republican presidential candidates have descended like locusts onto Florida this week. All eyes are on Giuliani in this primary… he’s put all his eggs into one basket and is counting on Florida to propel him to front-runner status... Rudy, you may want to start working on that resume of yours…
  • And have we mentioned? That the Bush(whacked) Administration “scrapped a custom archiving system” for e-mail records? The system had been adopted, due to a federal court order, by the Clinton administration but discontinued by the Bush White House, who also recorded over computer backup tapes despite a similar practice by Clinton’s people that landed them in legal trouble… but since this is the Bush White House, the law doesn’t apply to them, remember?
