I'd also like to go on a self-imposed hunger strike. I've been saying for the last couple of weeks that I'm going to, but then, I get hungry, and it's all down hill from there!!!

10. I can't go without watching
Keith Olberman. Now, Slobbering Tweety, that's a whole entirely different story. Can't stand watching that show. Although, this past week, with the Uncle Dick Shooting Story, I gotta say that Tweety has seemed a bit perturbed (sp?) about this. Maybe the tides they are a turning?

:shrug: One can only hope.

11. Well ya know
I hear the Democrats standing up and accusing the Bush administration of being corrupt,their stealing money from the seniors (medicare),their passing legislation without it going through the proper procedure's, wire tapping private citizens,etc,etc, but when it comes right down to it I am not seeing anything done.When they appear on Sunday talk shows they crumble and back down.I am waiting for a Democrat to stand up and tell it like it is and stand by their statements..A good example,What ever happen to the Iraq intelligence hearings?? The news is the same week afer week so I got tired of wathcing the same ol story.
