speak truth to testosterone poisoning

in the matter of Andy Sullivan:

Finally, I'm offended and bored by Sullivan and all the other willfully oblivious white guys who thought they were immune from the world's terrors -- and worse, believe they had a divine right to be -- until Sept. 11. Now, having experienced the terror that much of the world lives with every day, they respond by swinging their dicks around and threatening -- with bombs or bombast -- those who do not view the world as they do.

would it be too much to ask for you 'ganders to keep this in mind in '04?

Mich. Weighs Lower Dioxin Standards
Engler's Critics Accuse Him of Giving Dow Chemical 'Sweetheart Deal'

In one of his final acts as Michigan governor, John Engler (R) is trying to ease state standards for toxic dioxin pollution, a move that could relieve Dow Chemical Co. of substantial liability for future cleanup operations at the company's headquarters and along a large watershed leading into Lake Huron.

The proposed rule change, negotiated by Engler's Department of Environmental Quality and Dow officials, has drawn fire from Gov.-elect Jennifer M. Granholm (D) and regional officials of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, who say it may be either illegal or precipitous. Karl E. Bremer, chief of the EPA's Region 5 toxics division, said in a letter to the state that "it does not appear that U.S. EPA guidance has been considered or followed in developing" the new standard and risk assessment models.

Granholm, the outgoing state attorney general, said during a campaign stop in a contaminated area downstream from the Dow facility: "There is a definite lack of governmental accountability here."

Environmental groups contend that Engler's business-friendly administration is trying to minimize Dow's long-term financial exposure to what may prove to be one of the largest corporate pollution cases since the EPA last year ordered General Electric to pay nearly half a billion dollars to dredge toxic PCBs from the floor of the upper Hudson River in New York.

yo, Captain Nemo - try not to be more of a jackass than you can help, giving the genetic limitations

OK, look, people. I'm totally getting gypped here. Someone let it slip to Jeanne D'Arc at Body and Soul that she gets links because she's a girl.

I'm a girl. I've been a girl since before dirt. I always thought that everybody on both sides of the aisle links to her because she's thoughtful and considerate and looks at all sides and treats people with respect and pays attention to what happens to people in the world's flyovers and is a graceful and lyrical and careful writer, and I was OK with that. I mean, just barely, but OK, cause while I'd like to get all the attention, that all sounds like work, ya know?

Maybe I just missed it in my latest Liberal Entitlement Monthly, but if I have an affirmative right to respectful attention from people who disagree with me, I want mine.

We'll talk about the depreciation value of my newfound fame later.

Don't make me sue somebody. My party has all the lawyers.

And Jeanne's new email buddy? You really need to get mom to throw a couple of bags of dessicant down there. The damp seems to be affecting you.
