What shall we talk about?
What indeed? *taps fingers on mousepad*
Lyn said talk about whatever, but it seems all the good topics have been beaten to a vegetative state.
Tom DeLay? Nah, others have that covered. The only thing that would surprise me at this point is if he showed up in the well of the House with Terri Schiavo on his arm, a la Weekend at Bernie's. (I know; that was bad...)
Al Edwards, maybe? Does 'out to lunch' always count as "present, not voting"? (Hey, this fellow represents me and that gives me carte blanche to give him a dig...)
Perhaps I could prattle a little about the 2006 gubernatorial jockeying. Hopefully we'll have our state's two head cheerleaders smacking each other down for the right to face Chris Bell. But if one of them suddenly pulls a hamstring or strains a groin, it's my fervent hope that the one left standing gets to square off with One Tough Grandma. Yes, there would be nothing finer than to watch Carole Keeton McClelland Rylander Strayhorn Cougar Mellencamp piledrive Little Ricky or rhymes-with-witch-slap Kay Bailey around in the Republican primary.
They put the "goober" in ... oh, never mind.
Maybe I could just riff in general about the full bore multi-front assault on sensibility the GOP levels every single day, with only the most recent offronts being the nominations of John "Milk Moustache" Bolton and Paul "Spit Comb" Wolfowitz, to the hypocritical farce that is 'privatization' of Social Security, right down to the insinuation that Congress can decide better when a person is allowed to pass away with or without some measure of dignity.
I know what you're thinking: borrrrrriing.
Did anyone watch The West Wing last night? If Republicans ran a real-life candidate like Alan Alda I might consider voting for him ...
... kidding. If the Republicans ran Alan Alda I wouldn't vote for him. And I love the guy. Thank goodness he's not a Republican.
Hey I know what we can talk about! Did you hear that Michael Jackson gave those kids steroids and forced them to play baseball?

Maybe it's time to start rotating some bloggers out, if they can think of nothing to blog about. It wouldn't hurt to rotate the entire list, dropping one blogger a month and picking up a new one. That would keep it fresh, and relieve the stress on those designated bloggers with nothing to say (and there apparently is more than one).

Let Dale blog.

Hey PDittie, thanks for a much needed smile, in the midst of all the crap going down.
I believe a sense of humor is one of the strong points that separates Democrats from Repukes. Well, at least some of us Democrats.

I agree with Mary. What fun!

Dale has a good point. At the very least, if anyone is interested in having something posted, I'd be more than happy to post it with all due credit to the author.
I know there are a lot of activists--old school and up & coming--that have a lot to say on issues that matter that might have a different take on what many of us write.
Thanks, Dale!

I am all in favor of "FRESH AND NEW!" I like Dale's idea to "rotate bloggers and give'em a break each month." I really do appreciate "havin' fun" with this blog. Democrats CAN have fun and be sensible about it, too! Thanks to PDiddie for making me crack a smile... We all need to do more of it.
