  • I finally got around to reading the "Downing Street minutes" and some of the other concurring documents, outraged, I went to sign the letter that congressman Conyers is sending to Bush to demand answers to the questions raised by the memo. If you're outraged by the implications of the memo, here's where you can add your name. If you're not outraged, here's where you can read the memo, then when you're been sufficiently upset, go here to add your name.

  • props for coldplay and wanting to be a writer. of something. sometime. in some glorious alter-world, where no one controls whether you do what you want or what they say you should do...where, "that thing around your neck may be diamond studded, but it's still a collar" means something. ok, that was ramblous. have a wonderful wednesday.

  • I've decided I like you. I read your comment on ProLife_Christian's site, and I agree with a lot of what you said. The world needs more people like you. Just decided I'd let you know that.

  • i don't know why i'm dreaming of stuff like this.  it's weird.  it's not usual.  and it was so real.  my dreams aren't normally this real.  it's like i really was there.  it was the same room we lived in.  and i went up the same stairs.  weird.

  • Great post edge. I've been trying to spread the word about the memo the second I found out about it. But unfortunately a lot of people are still in denial. It's a shame but I'm glad the truth is out anyhow. And no I have not seen that Conyers video you asked about.
