thank you, karl

never know how i feel
from the freedom of the wheel

kenny moore, from the song "black pass"

back in my honda accord, cruise control and rolling stones both on. nice buzz, rolling across america again, through new mexico, albuquerque, santa rosa, tucumcari and across the panhandle of texas, take a right at amarillo and go through the green fields of north texas down through wichita falls and then on to fort worth. 1230 miles to clear my mind and get my own motor running. will rock the room tonight.

in retrospect, i would like to thank karl rove for his role in destroying the neo-con wing of the republican party. thanks to karl we were able to see the arrogance and total lack of empathy that is so inherent in that group of people. true republicans should thank him as well, while they won't be electing many folk next year at least they will have the time to reclaim their party and re-assert their values into their party's platform and take it back. as i have said before, the ideas of smaller government, fiscal responibilty and non-meddling in foriegn affairs which used to be the mantra of the republican party are not something that i deride, in fact, i agree with most of it but the republican party has been highjacked by the neo-cons lead by bush, cheney and rove and drove it into the ground. the specter of iraq will haunt that party for years to come because it is the biggest foriegn policy blunder not only of our life time but maybe the life of the republic itself.

got to go now, will write more on poker this coming week.
