Firing away on all cylinders today-

->If Bush really thinks he won the election, why does he currently have two petitions to the US Supreme Court, two cases in front of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, and why did he open court houses in four counties in FLA over the weekend in order to file four new cases? Are these the actions of the "winner" of Florida's 25 electoral votes? Who would have thought four weeks ago that post-election, the Bush campaign would be out-suing the Gore campaign?

->The FLA House Minority leader said over the weekend on CNN, "if anyone thinks now that the Florida Legislature is not an arm of the Bush campaign they are naive. As soon as Al Gore pulls ahead in Florida, you will see an emergency session convened and Bush declared the winner of Florida by the state legislature." The House Majority leader said nothing in response, both were on live.

->I wonder if any airline will attempt to vertically integrate the entire flying system by annexing not just terminals (they've got those) but runways and parts of the control tower as well. I wonder if that would have any effect on delays.

->How badly do the Congressional Democrats a) dislike Al Gore for his work on Welfare reform and b)care only about retaking majorities in both Houses that they are nowhere to be found during this dispute (Schumer, Frank I'm looking at you two). And, how quickly were Asa Hutchinson and the other House Impeachment managers asked to get the fuck out of Dodge by the Bush campaign after a reporter asked Hutchinson if it was disingenuous of him to tell the nation that he feels the counting method employed by the counties is unfair when he is so clearly biased on the issue? If you blew up the Governor's mansions in every state except Florida and Texas, would you hit any Republicans?

->Wouldn't it be a bit disrespectful to the 50,156,783 people who voted for him for Al Gore to concede when he's behind by .009% (537 out of 5,825,043 certified votes) in a state where the outcome is so obviously still in doubt?

->Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time to start stressing about Christmas present buying and holiday travelling. Finaly delay time for my flight yesterday was 5.5 hours. Lovely. Still, once in the air it's only a 45 minute flight and I greatly enjoyed waiting for my plane to get clearance from my own living room rather than from the terminal bar at Logan.
