Random thoughts and musings, if I bother to put any in.

Hail to the Chimp, er, Chief...

Maybe this is an unconscious admission that Gore really did win the 2000 election....

Bush said it's important to celebrate a "peaceful transfer of power" and that he suspects inauguration guests have been generous in donating to tsunami victims. "You can be equally concerned about our troops in Iraq and those who suffered at the tsunamis with celebrating democracy," he said.

"Transfer of power." What, has his clone been running the country for the last 4 years? Is this going to be the newest excuse for all the screwups we've endured? And what the hell is that last sentence supposed to mean? Do we translate that as meaning "It's okay that the troops are underfunded and we were slow to send money to the tsunami victims because we're spending $40 million to "celebrate democracy"?"

Outrage overload. Or maybe by now, outrage fatigue.
