For those who haven't heard about it, there will be a live stream of the Gof World Premiere this Sunday, for those in the Pacific time zone you'll want to click in at 9 a.m. to catch it. If I'm up I'll definitely give it a look.

Back off to the doctor soon, gods I hope I hear something definitive and can get back to feeling like my old self again. That would really be very nice.

Recital tomorrow for which I've done absolutely no preparation whatsoever. I'll try to at least run a few of the choreographies tonight if I have time to reassure myself I haven't forgotten anything. Fortunately I only signed up for the easy stuff so no biggie there. Of course if Alyne's gone and set up placements for everyone already I'm going to be totally clueless about it, and if she's made any changes...well, I'll just sit out the show and watch the others I think.

Whee!

Yet another barrier broken. Three new approval polls for Bush today, and two of them show him at 60% disapproval or higher. AP-Ipsos pegs Bush at 37-59, ABC-WaPo pegs him at 39-60, and Zogby find him at 39-61.



Oh and this just has to be shared:

Listen to how Michael Scanlon, former aide to Jack Abramoff, talks about the "base:"

"The wackos get their information through the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees," Scanlon wrote in the memo, which was read into the public record at a hearing of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. "Simply put, we want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them." The brilliance of this strategy was twofold: Not only would most voters not know about an initiative to protect Coushatta gambling revenues, but religious "wackos" could be tricked into supporting gambling at the Coushatta casino even as they thought they were opposing it.


I think that one sentence above aptly describes the entire GOP platform in the past two major elections in one elegant, succinct and utterly evil way. It's also the most honest thing I've read coming out of a Right winger in my lifetime. Guess I have to give him points for that.
