On the subject of MK Ham being attractive, someone should create a calander with pics of conservative women (and being conservative means being intelligent, and intelligence is attractive). Surely there are at least 12 to choose from. And I’m talking something tastefully done, not trashy. If the ladies decide “tastefully done” means wearing swimsuits and holding a laptop so be it, but that’s up to them. So, there is Michelle, MK, Bethany, Pamela from Atlas Shrugs, LaShawn Barber, Sarah K (IMAO), Helen Reynolds…we need 5 more. We can put Kirsten Powers in there with an asterisk beside her pic.

Dear Diary,
Today I signed the transparency bill into law. We invited a bunch of bloggers to be present and they are an interesting bunch. I saw George Lucas there and shook his hand. I think he has a blog called “The Jawa Report”. I also saw an attractive woman wearing a red dress. Sure is a refreshing change from having to see Helen Thomas. There was one guy who sat there the entire time saying nothing but “Heh” and “Indeed”. I think it was Andrew Sullivan, but he wasn’t crying and slobbering so I’m not sure about that.
Regards,
G.W. Bush

Big A, Take it as a badge. Use it like the professional sports players who convince their selves that everyone doubted their talents. You know, didn’t give them respect. I don’t want to see the image of Allah(it’s forbidden anway). It makes you more mysterious and glorious. You know like the Unknown Comic. Cult classic. Anyway Super Heroes only reveal their true appearance to their true loves. Or is that flashers?

Round-up…

Sorry I am struggling through an chapter in ‘Blog of War’ that is rough for me, the seventh chapter is about the Fallen and it is sacred and profane at the same time for me. The toughest story starts on page 229. It is the story of Lt Col Michael……

I’m trying really hard to wrap my brain around the idea of Allah as the Cheney of the blogosphere, but I keep laughing too hard.

Cheney of the blogosphere?

So that’s why he shot me in the face. I thought it was because he hated me.

Makes sense now.

He is much more important than even Bush. I would rank him Secretary-General of the United Nations…KING OF THE WORLD!!

AP, you know they have to keep a dignitary like yourself in an undisclosed location for gatherings like this. What would be the fate of the blogosphere if something awful happened at the WH today with all that brainpower in the same room?

Porkbusters Go To Washington: Bloggers Attend Transparency Bill Signing Ceremony…

So, that’s the picture I took this morning. I kinda wish I’d gotten a more handsome one of him– I do love it when he smirks– but I didn’t want to spend the whole time taking pictures. No, I wanted to spend the whole time nodding in agreement…..

Regardless, it’s significant that bloggers were invited to this event. I hope the WashTimes article is not the only one out there referencing the blogosphere’s role. Also, Allah making such a public appearance would’ve upstaged the Prez.

Don’t even be a little mad, Allah – it’s not worth the time wasted. A lot of good things people say/do on the blogsphere go completely unnoticed by the “higher ups.” That’s just the way it is sometimes.
