Quick Hits

* Bush's new press secretary is right-wing pundit, Tony Snow. It only makes sense that Bush would go to Faux News to get his appointee. The lying president picks a liar from the network of liars. Nothing has changed.

* Kinky Friedman's support is growing in his run for governor. Willie Nelson came out in support of Kinky early. Now the Dixie Chicks have announced their support of Kinky. The San Antonio Business Journal did a non-scientific poll on the governor's race and Kinky came out the winner. The republican and democratic party regulars who considered Kinky's candidacy to be a joke may be in for a rude awakening.

* What has happened to my Dallas Stars? After finishing the regular hockey season ranked 2nd in the western conference, they have completely fallen apart in the play-offs. They have not only lost their first three games [two of them at home], but they have given up 14 goals in the three losses. At the beginning of the year, it looked like we had finally settled on a long-term goalie [Marty Turco]. I don't know what to think now.

* The number of people in this country without medical insurance has grown to nearly 46 million people, and the number gets larger each day. Does anybody in Washington even care?

* I'm still seeing many people who want to save the institution of marriage from homosexuals. How does this work? For the life of me, I can't figure out how homosexuals are destroying marriages. Could someone please explain this to me?

* I'm also getting very tired of hearing the right-wingers try to advance their agenda by comparing themselves to the "founding fathers". This is just asinine. If these right-wing nutjobs had lived in 1776, they would have been tory-loyalists. They would have blindly supported the king just as they blindly support Georgie today. The "founding fathers" would not have had anything to do with them.

* This week, another man died in Texas after being zapped with a Taser. Just shows how bad an idea it is to arm school officers with Tasers [as Fort Worth is doing].

* Why do the right-wingers hate America? They can't love our country, or they wouldn't be trying so hard to destroy it.
