I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Bells will be ringing the sad, sad news

So Roddy "the Bleep" Blagojevich is going to fight it out. And he just can't wait to tell the people of Illinois his side of the story, which he's going to do RSN.

Hey, Rod, see all those people with the cameras and microphones? You know about microphones, don'tcha? Yeah, those are called "reporters." They have these things called "news outlets." Yeah, those are the people you want to tell your side of the story to.

Hear that sound? Yeah, I know it's kind of hard to hear it over all the bells that are ringing for thee, but that was the last of your credibility doing a belly flop on the concrete from one of those bell towers.

Time to write your book.

Oh, and there's this Republican Senator (sorry, although you've been on the air a few times I haven't caught your name) going around "poo pooing" the Democrats because he thinks they're trying to avoid an open election to fill the seat because (gasp) a republican might win it.

1) Live that dream, pal. 2) No, that would be a Republican strategy, us Democrats actually believe in democracy and 3) Democrats also believe in the rule of law. It's something you republicans give lip service to, but obviously you don't know WTF you're talking about because it's the Law that the Governor appoints Senate replacements.

And while we're at it, you know, everybody involved with the investigation has cleared Obama and his staff of any tainted involvement with this case (most importantly the people who've heard all the tapes and are bringing the criminal case). And yet I continue to see and hear the right wing farting class try and make a link because, "We just don't know the whole story." Yeah, I'm sure there's something about Intelligent Design that links Obama to Blagojevich's criminal activity. Oh, I know, there's probably a link through Ayers. Better get Rush on that.
