Rowhouse Logic - Breathtaking Inanity

Not to get too cryptic or personal, but I just wanted to let those of you who I may have alarmed earlier today know that all is well.

By popular demand, I’ve created a goo/warp image of the Bush and Rove picture I posted in the previous entry. It’s not perfect because President Bush is out of focus (Really?), and the image takes a while to load. Oh, well. Enjoy.

By popular demand, I mean one person, but that’s really besides the point, now isn’t it? I recomend switching the Goo tool from the default big Goo, to the smaller one as it’s more fun.

With apologies to my brother, I’d like to ask you a question or two about fish pants. Are fish pants made by fish, made of fish, or made for fish to wear? Additionally, would you consider fish pants to be bold, dynamic pants. If not, what would you consider to be a bold, dynamic pant? For the record, all of my pants are static and meek.

Clearly, I have nothing to say. Have a nice weekend.

I don’t usually jump on items that the big bloggers are talking about, but this post has to be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. If you confuse a Fred Phelps funeral protest, for some sort of leftist anti-war protest, you really are too stupid to be allowed near a computer or pretty pictures. Either that, or we all need to figure out what sort of experimental drugs this Marc character is taking. Who knows, It could make for a truly whacked weekend.

Update: It looks as though he’s updated his post and well, um, wow. I won’t try to parse the update, it’s something you really need to see for yourself. I’ll just say that after reading the little rant, that I feel as though a Koala just crapped a rainbow in my brain. (thanks to Coturnix for keeping me informed)

Only because I can’t write right now.

Just for fun I’ve added a Bernie Kerik Goo Image to the Bush and Cheney Goo Images. I couldn’t find a decent picture so it is what it is. You may want to use the small goo tool.

[Update] How could I forget Jerry?

Well, it’s late and I’m sleepy, so against my better judgment I offer you this silly little, outmoded game to waste a few minutes on. Enjoy.

From Kerry’s speech today at Temple: “we all understand it’s difficult to protect everything but there are certain places where there’s a chance for much greater catastrophe than others.”

This quote speaks to a fundamental truth, which congress and the president seem unable to grapple with. Certain places in this country are more important to the economic, social and psychological health of our nation than others and are therefore more attractive targets to terrorists. Most of us can name them without a moment’s hesitation; New York, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles.

While I would never pretend to understand the thinking of al Qaeda, they certainly seem to understand how and where to hurt us where we will be most wounded. What none of us should understand and what should enrage all of us is that homeland security funding is not disproportionately directed towards those cities at most risk. Instead that funding is distributed inversely to actual risk.

Let me speak to NYC specifically. While I’m not one of them, I understand that a great many people who don’t live there really don’t care for New York, however we should all understand its singular importance to our country’s well-being. As someone who deals professionally with corporations located across the country and across the world I can testify to the fact that even a single day’s snowstorm in NYC has very real and tangible ripple effects across the entire economy. One need only look up which corporate entities have their headquarters located in New York City to get some understanding of what I mean.

In my mind a “strong and resolute” leader would be able to speak truth to the powers that be within his own party and direct counter terrorism funding to those places where terrorism is most likely. Unfortunately our president has been incapable of such. A truly strong leader who was truly interested in the protection of his nation would have no such problem and homeland security (and yes I hate that term) would be something more than an excuse to dole out the pork.
