Nobody wants ta play wif me

Since I seem to be the only one here today, I've got some more goodies in my bag here, compliments of the Amazing Kallini Brothers.

First of all, the EU seems to be having problems writing their constitution. Now, far be it for me to snidely remark about the EU demanding that the US start up Iraq's government while they can't even start up their own, so I'll let Christopher do it.

They're having trouble meeting their own 20 month deadline on their chaotic mess of a constitution, and some of them, France particularly, are demanding we hand over Iraqi sovereignty immediately, and Powell's pushing for a 6 month constitutional deadline.

How about Europe cleans up its own backyard before offering us nation-building advice, eh?


I'm still waiting for Bush to tell Chiraq "Shut the hell up, you back-stabbing yellowbellied waste of oxygen", but hey, that's just me.

Want some more? Good, because the political donation graphics are out. And it's not pretty for the Donks. There are three different articles here.

Number one:

The study also found that Democrats were far more reliant than Republicans on deep-pocketed givers in the 2002 election cycle, and were much less successful than the GOP at raising money from donors giving small amounts. The findings were released today at an event launching the Center's comprehensive study of the effects of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, commonly called the McCain-Feingold law.

Number two is a chart of donation demographics. Check out the "under $200" vs. the "over $1,000,000". Yep.

And Number three:

More than one million new people have donated to the Republican Party since George W. Bush was sworn in as president in January of 2001, shattering the previous record set by former President Ronald Reagan. Their average contribution is less than $30.

Have fun!
