spin spin spinaroo...

just sat through bush's post-katrina hey-look-at-me-i'm-in-new-orleans-and-everything-is-gonna-be-a-okay address. what a joke. it's bad enough that he stumbles through words like "congregation" as they scroll over his teleprompter screen, but i choked about forty-seven times on all of the b.s. i was being fed. everything about him feels so calculated, so exacting. so...gross.

but, two highlights:

first of all, my phone rang almost immediately after bush was done. it was tom, my friend and favorite future politician, calling me to bitch about the speech. i honestly felt honored to be on the receiving end of that phone call. i mean, maybe he called a bunch of people, but in my mind i was the only one. and it's always nice to have a good friend respect my opinion and who knows i feel his political pain. pretty cool. it's like being special, but not like short-bus special.

and second of all, scrubs is on right now! this show rocks! hooray for scrubs! it makes that bush speech almost worth it! like getting ice cream after suffering through brussels sprouts!
