Still no DSL, & the lying sacks o' shit @ AT&T said it would be on by 2000 PDT this evening (two hours 30 minutes ago). And it's hot & nasty. Most of the smoke is missing the House Of Bouffant, but there's definitely a pall over the Los Angeles Basin. Maybe the DSL delay has to do w/ the firestorm (as the local news yokels are calling it) or some crap like that, but we don't give two shits if all the hill-dwelling home owners from S. B. to S. D. are in refugee centers w/ nothing but the clothes on their backs, we'd like some service here. Damn! And we're losing readership; too much trouble to surf the web for anything worth commenting on or linking to or anything, period. Phooey.We can, however, make mock of a politician who just sent us an e-mail:
Dear Friend:Jeezis, Babs, don't you have the guts (in the middle of exploiting the suffering of others) to mention that maybe we should have brought the California Nat'l. Guard back from Iraq to guard us & our all-important property a little sooner?
Fires continue to rage across southern California. I am working to make sure that California has needed resources from all federal agencies. We need firefighting resources and equipment as well as assistance for the thousands of people who have been left homeless or evacuated. I am working to see that these resources get to California as soon as possible.
I hope you will use my Senate website as a resource in the days ahead, both for yourself and for any impacted family or friends. It will have constantly updated information about where fires are burning, evacuation centers, and the federal resources that will be made available in the days ahead. You can find my fire feature at http://boxer.senate.gov/calfire.cfm
Sincerely,
Barbara Boxer
United States Senator
(UPATE/CORRECTION 24 October 2007 @ 1710): Sen. Babs was discussing the Nat'l. Guard shortage today on telebision, but sort of copped out, saying that we had enough equipment, by borrowing from other states & so on. Guess she didn't want to sully her e-mail w/ politics.
Lt. Gov. Garamendi (a Dem just like Boxer) has also been on telebision, about the strapped Calif. Nat'l. Guard, & how Bush's visit tomorrow is photo ops bull, & a distraction, and Bush hasn't done much to rebuild New Orleans, so please keep your promises this time, Bushie.
Speaking of Iraq, tonight Law & Order Special Victims Unit
was all over torture, or enhanced stressing, or whatever this week's euphemism is. Another example of horrid left wing media bias. We thought series creator Dick Wolf was of the right-wing persuasion, one of those rare-as-hen's teeth Hollywood conservatives. Guess the Bush admin has lost another one.
