Ah-nold whats to know why this stuff didn't come out before

Schwarzenegger on offensive, denounces sex harassment claims

It doesn't take a lot of thought to conclude that it might have something to do with the fact that an actor has few public responsibilities. However, when an actor decides to take on public responsibilities like representing the people ... maybe he's measured by a different set of standards.

Something slightly more worthwhile than the current state of domestic and international politics:

If It Was So Justified ...

ABCNEWS.com : Bush: Hussein 'A Danger to the World'

If the war was so justifyable - and I accept the proposition that Saddam was a threat to those around him in the Middle East and perhaps to others throughout the world - why couldn't the case be made with real evidence? Why was it necessary to fudge on WMD and links to terrorists?




Which reminds me, where is Ossama, anyway? I thought HE was at the top of the list of the most wanted. Unfortunately, it seems the only time we hear about him these days is when he cuts a new tape for broadcast.
It would seem that it's OK for a Republican.

Raunchy Arnold apologizes

Ah-nold is only the latest example. His prediliction sounds familiar but the response from the right doesn't. Must be ok to have morals like rubberbands.

Moral indignation is something to behold and it seems some are only willing to roll it out only when it's the other guy. That, to me, smacks of hypocracy.

Where is the moral indignation:

  • when we can't find weapons of mass destruction that we were told were there and
    ready to be used against us in 45 minutes? If they were that readily
    available, they should be somewhat more findable than they seem to be?

  • when we're told for months that there's a connection between Saddam and al
    Qaeda then told by the same people they have no evidence? What brought those
    good folks to make the connection without evidence?

  • when the lives our intelligence agents are jeopardized for cynical political gain?

  • when we start to realize the deficit is all on our children's credit cards?


Where are those indignant calls for impeachment now?
I've been wanting to start one of these blogs for a while. Here it is!
