Stark has refused to apologize.

i heard on wmnf yesterday an interview with a historian who wrote about j edgar hoover and kennedy
he said that all the presidents wanted to fire hoover
but he had personal stuff on all of them
and essentially blackmailed all of them to keep his job
moron this later
up early
still dark in texas
thunderstorms here in florita

it's history
how they write off all the shit from the past
i can't do that
that was then and this is now
but i did my penitence

i gotta call a fellow about this upcoming veterans day
seem as tho my presence will be needed.
it is on a sunday, which i have off
november 11th.

[stilltrucking]

his evilness overwhelms me jim
he is a monster
a souless man

what can I say
he is a baby boomer
just a joke there
baby boomers are running the country
and their father's hell did slowly go bye

[jimboloco]

he is a blooming neo-con what is gonna whither away some day
i agree that he is evil
and folks don't see it
neither does he
a self-righhteous ignoramass

With only 15 months left in office, President Bush has left whole agencies of the executive branch to be run largely by acting or interim appointees. --the New York Times

They're making few appointments now.
This crowd is almost out the door.
The Bushies' clock is winding down.
They've just got time for one more war.

Uncle morris's birthday
pacific soldier
Phillipino girl friend called him bamboo knees
After he told me the story about her
I always thought he would have be happier if he stayed there
instead of coming home to baltimore.



Go to agudas achiem cemetary on vets day
put a stone on alamo rose's grave
one for uncle morris her brother too.

[jimboloco]

i appreciate your affection and send it back
big hug

today is my step-son's birthday
tomorroow my sister della's
october is a haunting month
still hot yet feel the change in solar intensity
pray for peace, man
i got a date with the street

[stilltrucking]

weather broke here
finally feels like october

nothing personal
what has love got to do with it
sorry about that

if I can get myself together
I may head downtown and stand on that corner again
More honks of appreciation from passing cars
than red necked hecklers

Going to make me a little cardboard sign
"Will work for peace"

I missed the reply about Trillin article
oatmeals getting cold check it out later

Stark initially refused to apologize but finally backed down under pressure from Democratic leaders. Stark says he apologized in part to focus attention on the issues, not on his comments.

Sell-out. Cannot insult the King.

I'd like to seeRrush Limbaugh (blehgh!) apologoze for his hyperbole sometime.

[stilltrucking]

Rush Limbaugh would not make a pimple on Pete Stark's ass.

I knew about Hoover and his secrete files. But they say the Mafia had a file on Hoover and his boyfriend. That is why he let them conduct business as usual they say. Who knows?
homosexuality of J. Edgar Hoover

The idea of Bush sending men to die for his amusement makes me think of Nero and Caligula. I suppose in his own way Bush is just as nutz.
They say render unto Caesar , but that was when Caesar was a pagan, that was the good old days
I suppose

Vini vidi veto.

[hester_prynne]

Sad that they made him say sorry.
There is just no other word for it but sad.
Well, maybe weak.
Lame.
Frustrating.
Disconcerting.
Then it fades away and I don't think about it any longer.....

yes he has become as irrelevant as he was supposed to be
