Mad Kane is back from vacation and feeling very fair and balanced. So much so that she has written a fine fair and balanced tune :
Fair and balanced,
Fair and balanced.
Empty slogans, rabid views, and shrill rants.
Fox calls critics liars.
O’Reilly’s filled with angst and ire.
Go sing the rest.
And, being so excited to have missed the blackout, she created a special dubya blackout cartoon but The Village Voice thinks maybe Pataki should be blamed.
Modulator has recently featured pictures of various bands and makeovers. Today, go take a tour of the human brain. This site is very cool whether you are into plain ol’ neural anatomy, want to check out what that adenal carcinoma looks like, or are just browsing on a rainy day.

As reported here bush has doubled the cost of support in the last 4 years:
His stop at a $2,000-per-head fund-raiser in the Hunts Point home of Craig McCaw will be his second visit to the billionaire cell-phone magnate’s home. In July 1999, Bush attended a $1,000-a-plate fund-raiser there.
So far 600 folks have signed up to hear bush say things like:
I look forward to signing the economic recovery bill soon. The principle of the bill is pretty simple, that we believe the more money people have in their pockets, the more likely it is somebody is going to be able to find work in America. In other words, the more money somebody has, it means somebody is more likely to demand a good or a service, which means somebody will produce a good or a service, which means somebody is likely to find work.

It seems clear that the type of service bush expects these folks to buy has a lot to do with his campaign and the bush jobs program.

Vice President Richard Cheney may be added to the list of defendants in Dallas accounting fraud cases, if Colchester, Conn.-based Scott & Scott prevails in its federal court bid to overturn a pending $6 million settlement….
During that period, both Cheney and his successor CEO David Lesar shared responsibility, but only Lesar was named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Neil Rothstein, a Pennsylvania-based partner in Scott & Scott, said Richard Schiffrin did not name Cheney as a defendant, despite liability exposure, because it would be “inappropriate” to do so during the war on Iraq.
Somebody please help me understand why this was inappropriate.
