Wow. . .the top ten list I made
wasn't that far off from the official one. I am geeked it's back and really enjoyed it. Maybe when the take a vacation, I'll do a top ten list, since it was a political stress reliever.

3. Citgo is wholly owned by the people of Venezuela...
...not a small cabal of greedy capitalists.

5. Thank You.
I have a Citgo right around the corner from me. I would MUCH rather buy from them instead of padding the repuke's pockets. Thanks! :hi:

10. It is fun!
I just signed up to help my State Rep candidate...Tari Renner. He's running against Jerry Weller who just happens to be engaged to the daughter of a Guatemalan dictator! The lady is the dictator's STRATEGIST! Weller needs to go...he's been a Rep forever. His time has come. However, he has $800,000 more in funds than Renner does and his name is VERY well known because he has been a Rep forever. It's an uphill battle, but a Dem's gotta do what a Dem's gotta do! :)

<snip>

July 9 - A love story that raises memories of bloody repression in Central America has suddenly intruded into Illinois politics.

Representative Jerry Weller, a Republican from the small farm town of Morris, surprised friends and supporters this week by announcing that he was engaged to a member of the Guatemalan congress. His fiancée, Zury Ríos Sosa, is the daughter of Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt, a former Guatemalan dictator who presided over one of the most brutal military campaigns in modern Latin American history.

Mr. Ríos Montt, who is under house arrest pending trial on charges of organizing a political riot last summer, remains a major political figure in Guatemala. His daughter has for years been one of his principal advisers and strategists.

Because Mr. Weller is a member of the House Committee on International Relations and sits on its Western Hemisphere subcommittee, his newly announced tie to one of Guatemala's most notorious political figures has added spice to his re-election campaign. His opponent, Tari Renner, a political science professor at Illinois Wesleyan University, has made it a campaign issue.<snip>

11. I know what you mean...
I'm already stretched thin volunteering for Kerry, local peace groups, voter reg efforts, etc., so I've barely had the time to help out Russ Feingold for Senate (although he should have a fairly easy time), and Gwen Moore, my choice in the primary for Congress. Now I've gone and told a friend of mine that I'd help out with Bryan Kennedy's campaign against Congressional potted plant and former impeachment manager James
Sensenbrenner. That's going to be a tough race, but if Kennedy wins, it will be BIG in the so-called "RepubliCON western suburbs." So I slog on...

12. Sensenbrenner!!!!! Ack!
PLEASE get him the hell out. I'll never forget his partisan bullshit with the Clinton impeachment, arrrrrgggggghhhhhh! I get angry just thinking about that man. Good luck! Kick his ass to the curb! :) I sure hope Feingold wins easily. I've donated to his campaign because repukes were going to be throwing a ton of money at his opponent. LOVE that man! Go, Russ!

4. "I am geeked"
excellent use of the word geek.

I'll see to it that it catches on.
