Voters to decide on naming sewage plant for Bush

I knew she reminded me of someone.

I think I'd rather be called sweetie than c**t. But, hey, that is just me.

I remember the waitresses at THE MAJESTIC in Atlanta used to call me "precious" (though through tight lips reminding me of the cellophane over my month-old frozen leftovers). I call just about every person (men & women) "sweetie." Sometimes I talk to adults like I talk to my kids. I thought it was endearing and personable. I guess I need to stop?

Olbermann Timeline: How The Bush Administration Exploited Terror Threats For Political Gain, 2002-2008
"In case you missed it, on Thursday night's "Countdown" Keith Olbermann presented an impressively detailed timeline he called "The Nexus of Politics and Terror," in which he chronicled the Bush administration's exploitation of terror threats for political gain. Olbermann's exhaustive account weaves from each revelation of an intelligence failure or a Democratic political victory to an almost immediate orange alert or "new threat" from al Qaeda.

The clip is 17 minutes long and entirely worth it, and its conclusion — "what we were told about terror, and not told, for security reasons, has overlapped considerably with what we were told about terror, and not told, for political reasons" — is a dutiful summary of the past six years." -Huffington Post
