today is our daughter's brigid 1st b-day! by far, she was the best thing about this past year. yes, i am still feeling sorry for myself about the howard project dying! but things are looking up, as i am an optimist by nature. actually, doesn't EVERYBODY say that?
ok, i haven't talked about politics in a while here on the blog, and since there's nothing really new to report on the music front (though i may have a new song coming out on a japeanese comp. soon. i'll let you know when i have more info...) i have to talk about the CLEARLY illegal wire-tapping the Bush administration is using. ask yourself this question, dear reader; why would Bush not go to a court that has only rejected 4 gov. requests in over 4,000? it's starting to come out in some media that despite what the Bush said, they have monitored purely domestic calls. in other words, calls that are not coming in the the USA from outside or from the USA to other countries but rather, inside the USA calls! that's why they didn't go to a rubber stamp court for approval. because they knew even the FISA court wouldn't approve spying on domestic calls! and then it comes out that the FBI is spying on a whole bunch of groups that have one thing in common; they are on the other side of the poltical fence from republicans!!
this is the nixon admin. all over again except these guys are even more arrogant.
let me just leave you these two quotes and think about what this all REALLY means:
Sen. John Cornyn(R): "None of your civil liberties matter much after you're dead."
Sen. Russ Feingold's(D) retort: "Give me liberty or give me death."

I'm constantly amazed that members of Bush's own party haven't risen up against. But what makes the Republican Party so effective is also what's killing them here: they always close ranks and support the party line. You just know that more party members than not are gnashing their teeth at this latest revelation.
One of these days there's gonna be an "Et tu, Brutus" situation, I just know it.

ya know, i was saying to jason last night, "you watch, they're going to try and make this a partisan issue when it is nothing of the kind. if clinton had done this, i would be just as pissed & outraged." and i would be. this is a power grab by the executive branch and people had better wake up and realize this about the republic, NOT republicans or democrats!
btw, thanks for commenting, michael!
Happy 1st Birthday Brigid!
Hiya Kevin...Ray here...Kids change your life, but in a good way...glad to see you have a little one, too. My wonderful little gal turned four back in November! Glad to hear you're still involved in music. As for the Bush administration, thank God he CANNOT be re-elected YET AGAIN (he can't...c-c-c-can he? lol). Take care...Ray
