The speculation was all over this site today. Michael Steele called Rush's rhetoric "ugly" and Rush got mad.

It was only a matter of time before Steele backed down.

Our favorite formerly-bowtied (your turn George Will) conservative talking head, Tucker Carlson just lectured the fine upstanding folks at the Conservative Political Action Conference on the need for accuracy in journalism (novel idea, I know) and was resoundly booed by those in attendance.

I have a love/hate relationship with watching Chris Matthews. I often find him ridiculous but he gets it right often enough that I can't stop watching. He has destroyed enough of his loony guests that I eagerly await the next takedown.

One may go down as one of his most memorable (and prescient) moments occurred last night as Bobby Jindal was about to speak.

I have to admit that I didn't see this coming. I was greatly anticipating tomorrow's vote for RNC Chairman. The cast of clowns in that race have proven to be highly entertaining. Unfortunately, one of the candidates has decided that he no longer wants the job.

Many of you may already be aware that some of the most wonderful words ever printed appeared in the New York Times today:

This is William Kristol’s last column.

I practically jumped for joy when I heard the news. Ding Dong! The witch is dead!

or so I assumed....

You can say all the good things about what Barack Obama has done since he became president. Many will say he is about to end the War in Iraq, that he opposed, which I applaud, his end of torture and closing of Guantanamo Bay. But to all this I say, that is just trivial. Where the fuck is the puppy?

You suck, Barack Obama. You promised us a puppy. Where the hell is it? I didn't vote for you because I wanted a dog free White House. If I had known it would take this long, I would have voted for the other asshole.

George Bush had a puppy. We deserve better than this!

John Yang of MSNBC just came on said that the final wave of Bush pardons was just released and only included 2 names.

Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean had their sentences commuted. They were not fully pardoned.

According to Yang, that's it. Apparently, Bush will not be pardoning anyone else for the duration of his term. If this reporting is accurate, Bush has decided not to pardon anyone from his administration.

A weird coincidence just happened to me. I was making a comment about the term The Village in another diary:

On a side note, whenever I hear the terms The Village or Villagers, I always think of the old 60s TV show The Prisoner which told the story of a man who was kidnapped and taken to a place called The Village which functioned as a prison but in the form of a closed society. Everyone there was assigned a number in order to remain anonymous The leader of The Village was a constantly rotating Number 2. Free-thinking was banned. Blending in and following the arbitrary rules was the only way one could survive without being subjected to cruel mistreatment.

An apt metaphor if you ask me.

Shortly after I posted that comment, I was checking headlines and learned that Patrick McGoohan died. He was the creator and star of the TV show in question.

Before I get to Boot Camp, I need to learn and memorize a few things. In order to help me, I'm trying to write them down once a day. On a whim, I decided to post them here since people in this community seem interested in my situation. I figured people would be interested to know what I'm learning.

I don't have anything on the Odds & Ends front since I've been preoccupied with enlisting in the Navy. I just didn't get a chance to bookmark any of the typical items so I'm going to make a bunch of music lists instead. These won't be typical lists because I've been told I have an unorthodox taste in music.

Deal with it.

If you're curious about something, post a comment.

As many of you know, on Monday I signed up to be enlisted in the Navy. Today, it's a done deal.
