I truly believe things happen for a reason, and there is a pattern

amidst the chaos...

Today should be Shrubya 24/7. Kerry's kick got good coverage this morning. But we have the Russian School hostage incident, we have Frances, and now we have Bill Clinton. It's been 12 hours since the end of the RNC and to be honest, watching any of the newschannels, or networks, it might as well have been 12 days ago.

There is a perfect strom brewing. If Florida fails to get relief in a timely manner, if the newschannels stay on Frances and Bill, all of this will take the wind out of Shrubya's sails.

1. What are the polls saying?

2. I was just listening to MSNBC and they're

talking about the political aspect of Clinton's surgery.

They're talking about the empathy felt by people on both sides of the aisle and how it may affect people's votes.

3. News

The horrendous thing is the LACK of attention given to what has been happening in Russia for the last SIXTY hours. God forbid this should happen in our Safer World. Oh wait! Russia IS part of our SAFER world.

Russia has experienced a 9/11 of its own, yet the media focused on the farce of lies and bullshit that W has made our planet safer. If we keep saying it, maybe we can begin believing it.

I hope that I don't need to go through this anger and sadness every four years - it has become a pattern.

4. The freeprs think Russia wouldn't have had this problem IF...

they'd helped us invade Iraq, but now the world knows they're soft on terra. Nevermind this is a ten-year-old conflict

5. great post!

lives up to your name.

How can we expect compassion and not return it. These citizens of Russia are hurting and we have no time to express our sympathies.
