My New Alarm Clock


...for the week is Buster the pug, who started barking at five thirty this morning, and sniffling up the stairs to see if I was awake, then back down the stairs to bark at traffic again until I finally got up at 5:45 to take the pugs out walkies. I need to scan the house to make sure neither pug left any more editorials anywhere.

I fully intended to go back to sleep after the walk, but it's strange how awake you feel after walking a few blocks with two pugs determined to trip you with their leashes, and picking up their poop. At least both of them "did their duty" this morning on the walk so I don't have to worry, as much, about finding that kind of editorial somewhere.

You've all heard about the new movie that is going to portray Bush as a hero on 9/11, right? Warning, the former link is really anti-Bush, so if you are pro-Bush, you might want to read this one instead, which is slightly nicer. Of course, the film is being made in Canada. After all, why film propaganda in the country it's supposedly about? My personal opinion on the film is pretty simple. Bush went AWOL during the crisis. The real heroes, the police and firemen, the folks on the street who helped people get away, are being insulted by anything other than the truth, and this film will be far from the truth.

Then there is the continuing question of why the inquiry into the intelligence failures around 9/11 is being supressed. The most obvious answer is because those failures would be an embarassment to Bush and his cronies, not to mention the FBI. But the longer the information is supressed, the more I wonder if there isn't something even more sinister about it. No, I'm not buying into the conspiracy theories. Yet. But the longer the facts surrounding 9/11 are hidden, the more paranoid I get about what might have really happened. Just release the information already!

Stupid pugs. They've got me writing a blog before I wake up. I think I'll end this now before I say something I'll regret.
