DanLog the ramblings of Daniel Pettit

While Lauren and I don’t exchange gifts, Congress the Senate to be exact did give me a fine gift today. The amnesty bill once again came up for a cloture vote and once again when down in flames. This should effectively shelve the amnesty bill until the next president is in office, whom I hope will not be for such a treasonous piece of legislation as our disgraced “I’ll see you at the bill signing” President. How he could want that as his legacy is beyond me unless he wants to go down in the Mexican history books as the greatest American president.

Now that GW is officially a lame duck and has no power to affect new policy he can focus 100% on the only thing he does have power over. He can retriple our efforts in Iraq and finish the job, destroy the enemy. Not disarm, scatter or imprison. Iran needs to be part of that destruction though limited to strategic and economic. Breaking the back of the terrorists in Iraq and crippling the Iranian nuclear program are Bush’s only hope of a legacy. The American public is too dense and influenced by the media to ever appreciate Bush’s economic accomplishments.

It is hard to imagine it’s been twenty years with the old ball and chain. Seems like just yesterday, okay not really but certainly not twenty years. What special thing are we doing? - nothing. We might make it out to dinner in the next week or so, but Lauren is much more dude than chick when it comes to sentimentality, not to mention the fear of random camera flashes at restaurants kind of puts a damper on her enthusiasm.

Some how I forgot to shave this morning, I wasn’t rushing or anything. I didn’t discover it until I gave my chin a scratch while speaking with our dairy delivery man. This would be the second time I’ve gone to work unshaven and the only one unintentionally.

 I hope I’m not getting, um what’s that old people disease, uh oh yah Alzheimer’s.

I have not, am not and will not have any interest in assassinating President GW Bush. I was merely trying to enter my Friday night DVD review and simply could not remember the title of the film. That is why my Google file contains searches for president assassination, killing of a president, assassination of a president, lions gate assassination, lions gate killing of a president, etc. I of course was fumbling around for “Death of a President”. After several failed search attempts I was beginning to wonder if there was some conspiracy afoot.

Anyway, while I’m no longer a supporter of GW Bush I certainly wish no physical harm to him. The fact that I think he and WJ Clinton should be in prison for Treason is an unrelated other story.

So please don’t go breaking down my front door, it will scare the cat.
