Pat Buchanan

Is the man's soul so withered that he actually thinks that political operatives (the Clintons) hope that the candidates in their own party (Obama) lose to improve their chances of winning in four years? Because he is arguing strenuously that anyone who thinks Hillary hopes Obama wins is a naive idealist.

Of course he doesn't think these things. He is a political operative saying whatever he can to stir shit up among the Dems to McCain's advantage.

What possible purpose does it serve to have a Republican political operative "commenting" on the Democratic National Convention? MSNBC just had their B-team eat up a full 5 minute segment arguing with Buchanan as he advanced ridiculous tripe.

Well played, sir, but jeebus.

Heart-stopping Good Times

Walking from my playroom, where I was playing some Playstation, into my kitchen, I see a lizard quickly crawling across the kitchen floor to under the fridge. Fortunately, I recognized it was a lizard, and not a snake, or my heart attack would have been followed by a panic attack.

It was about a foot long, maybe a couple inches more. Apparently a Northern Alligator Lizard. I caught it rather easily and let it go outside, but now I am forced to wonder how it got into the house and how it got into the kitchen, which is centrally located, without me or the dog noticing.

Kinda creepy. But my first citing of a lizard in Oregon in a non-outdoor setting.
