Should let the dead lie and not try to resurrect it but Bush is sure going to try. Tomorrow. Immigration reform. After all, can’t let down all those millions of illegals now can we. They are so hoping for amnesty. More like demanding it.

Sides, since the Dems blame Bush for not getting the Republicans in line in support of the bill, guess Bush needs to do just that. Help the Dems, get those pesky Conservatives to see it his way. Course, his use for the Senate is a bit mecurial, needed when he wants to pass his amnesty for illegals bill, not needed when they criticize his Attorney General.

He pledged to resurrect his derailed immigration bill in the Senate - “I’ll see you at the bill signing,” he declared - and dismissed Democrats’ effort to hold a no-confidence vote on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as a waste of time.

…The president said the Senate effort was irrelevant.

“That’s going to have no bearing on whether he serves in office or not,” Bush said at a news conference with Parvanov.

Serve him right if the Senate doesn’t give him what he wants. You think that maybe some of the Senators actually listened to their constituents’ concerns? Wonder if they read any of the emails and faxes sent their way. We’ll find out soon enough whether Bush has enough clout to trump the voters.

Which voters are useful only at election time apparently. The rest of the time they get ignored. Sure seems like it.

Twenty one years, the thought boggles my mind. That’s how long Ollie lived. R.I.P. My condolences to his family.

I wouldn’t last that long, my back won’t that’s for sure. I’m in agony now from changing the litter in the litterboxes.

I was in agony over the weekend from some heavy lifting I did at work. Spent it laying on an icepack.

Couple that with the weakness I’ve been having and it’s a disaster for me.

Too weak to rip open the foil packets containing pop tarts and they rip easily under normal circumstances.

Too weak to tear off a wad of toilet paper if you can call that stuff on those huge industrial-sized rolls toilet paper. It makes the Sears catalog feel soft by comparison. I prefer White Cloud myself, it’s soft. Don’t have that at work thou.

My kid can’t get a house fast enough for my liking. So she can take some of the cats. She won’t take all of them and they are technically all hers. She should but she won’t.

I am doomed.

“You live to serve us.”
