Brownback Friday

That's the crux of Brownback Friday. Not that the governor of a great midwestern state, Kansas -- which is also filled with wonderful, fabulous people who don't deserve the opprobrium of being associated with "the means justify the ends" throwback Brownback -- acted like a peevish child, and ordered the disciplining of a teenage girl he was spying on.

Other than a very robust war policy, about the only discernible policy that BUSHCO has is their proprietary version of an energy policy, namely The Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Mind you, we can’t use any of our oil stockpile, because then it would not be available in case we face times even tougher than these. I mean, what would our military use to be able to wage war if OPEC were to ever stop it’s policy of price aggression and...

I’m assuming that this line of free association was influenced as much by all of the recent sex scandal coverage as by how many ducks I saw mount each other.
