Let the eagle soar
Nov. 10th, 2004 04:48 pmI went to the Pizza Hut lunch buffet again today, and tried one of those dessert pizzas that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
3x1minus1 had mentioned in a comment last time I talked about going to the buffet. It was something with apples and cinnamon, and I thought it was pretty good, but kind of weird. I might have liked it better if I hadn't already been full before trying it. {g}
I'm sure you've all heard by now that John Ashcroft is resigning from his post as Attorney General. I guess that means President Bush will have to find somebody new to have anointed with Crisco for the purpose of taking away Americans' civil liberties. I have faith, however, that if anyone can find someone psychotic enough to make liberals actually long for the days of John Ashcroft, it's George W. Bush!
Incidentally, in his resignation letter, Ashcroft says, "The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved." Gee, I'm sure glad to live in a country free that's totally free from crime and terror, aren't you?
Seriously, though, I've heard of people saying they liked Dubya because of his handshake or whatever, but does ANYBODY like Ashcroft? As far as I know, his handshake isn't even anything to write home about. Actually, that reminds of this, a Religious Right website's review of Fahrenheit 9/11. Here's an actual quote from the review:
"Moore devotes several more minutes of film to Attorney General John Ashcroft singing a patriotic song. Why? It can’t be because the singing is bad; Ashcroft actually has a nice tenor voice."
Oh, come on! The quality of a vocalist is a subjective matter, certainly. I mean, my mom doesn't care for They Might Be Giants' work in the vocal department. But describing Ashcroft as having "a nice tenor voice"? The reviewer goes on to say, "Maybe it’s because Moore considers him goofy or stupid and assumes we all think the same." Or maybe the reviewer is so concerned with making MOORE appear to be "goofy or stupid" (the latter word being, by the way, one that was considered tantamount to a curse word in another review on the same site) that he has no choice to praise what I would imagine most conservatives would even consider to be a god-awful vocal performance.
I need to buy some new sneakers. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I hate shoe shopping, largely because shoes that seem to fit in the store often don't once you get them home. It's very similar to the problem I have with haircuts.
