Here's a sample of my usual witty commentary...

The battle is well and truly joined. The extreme left in the Dhimmicrat party, which was so careful to hide in the run up to the election, is out in full force, claiming their "mandate" to lynch George W. Bush. The banshee wail is being raised and the wild hunt has begun. They smell blood and they demand their victims.
The deck this week is stacked with Bush critics (surprise, surprise), particularly those that can be found from the Republican party. There is a leavening of a few less hostile voices, but very few (and some of those could be suspect... which would be why they got invites to the shows, of course)...
... The interesting thing for me to watch is whether or not any of the so called "anti-war" players hedge or back off of some of the more extreme things being said, particularly in the World Workers Party affiliated march in Washington on Saturday....
... The bottom line for me this week is that I think the left has over reached and I think a few of them see that also. These shows may well provide me a way to test that hypothesis. ...

Note to my FReeper friends. I'm real late tonight as I had two more stitches removed from my corneal transplant today. This is always a traumatic event for me and I'm really running behind. The worst part is as my surgeon comes at me with either the tiny scissors or tweezers and says "now stay perfectly still and don't blink." OMG!!!!!!!!!!! One thing I have learned is that it's real hard to drink straight bourbon from the fetal position. Anyway, I've finally got this posted, late as it is. I'm going to cross post this to my blog then go back into hiding. I'll hang around a bit tomorrow but will probably still be on the light side (yeah, right... as if I can keep quiet for long!).

Hello Phsstpok. Thanks for another stunning analysis!

I had a "friend of a friend" once upon a time who had, well, a substance abuse problem. If there was any substance around, he would abuse it ;'}

One thing that he used to do that would crack me up (OK, I realize that it was really pathetic, but looking past that) was to carry around a "Bourbon in a baggy". Every now and then I would see him rooting around in his jacket pocket. It caught my curiosity, so I finally asked his sister who told me to "Watch closely (but not too closely) - every once in a while he sticks a straw into a baggy filled with Bourbon and takes a drink".

So it's not exactly a conventional way to imbibe, but you certainly have my, uh, blessings to do so!

(Rest easy and take care of yourself).
