Jen and Willow are awake. Wait! Jen is taking Willow into the other room to sleep! No! Bring the baby back! There's not much cuter than those little baby smiles. They alone make up for all of the sleeplessness and poop.

Speaking of poop, I notice that Bush's stance against providing support for any overseas facility that supports or encourages abortion as an option (whether or not they actually provide the service themselves) is causing health care centers to close in regions where they are sorely needed. This from a man who is responsible for more deaths than any serial killer could ever aspire to. Watch this man. He doesn't have brains, but he has power. That is never a good combination.

Maybe politicians should be required to live in the poorest neighborhoods - sort of the same concept as forcing slumlords to live in their own apartment buildings. It looks and feels a lot different on the inside. And maybe George Bush should be required to go back to elementary school and start his education over. The first time around doesn't seem to have left much of an impression.

Somewhat disjointed rant over for now.

cds I listened to while still feeling sort of sick: V/A "The Beast 666 & the Archangels of Sex" (off to Hell we go...), V/A "Knights of Abyss", Magma "Floe Essi/Ektah", Sigillum S "Private8788"(this cd sounds like the soul of a worn out city, howling into the night) and V/A "Dry Lungs V"
