they finally got around to kicking James Traficant out of office (ask Kevin about this guy... he's out of his mind!) He's a congressman convicted of all sorts of fun crimes like taking bribes and falsifying tax returns. Anyways, the vote was 420-1 to kick him out. Guess who the 1 was?... Gary Condit, who else? At least he took the "people in glass houses" adage to heart on this vote. Kinda funny. And sad at the same time. (read the article)

Dude! Even the aspiring poets blog is getting political now... Let's stop the insanity. In a move of similar magnitude to the founding fathers' separation of church and state, I have taken the visionary step of separating politics from the personal-news/social-event-planning/dream-interpretation/poetry-writing/whining-about-having-no-lives stuff that the other Batcave-spawned blogs are for. If you want to, you can call it a fight against the postmodern influence weaseling its way in where it doesn't belong (not everything should be a no-holds-barred blend of every bit of news and pop culture that can possibly be mentioned). Join here to rant freely about Communism, socialism, Palestinian liberation, Palestinian suicide bombings, the loss of freedom of speech, the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. etc. In short, I aim for this page to be the New Jersey of the Batcave (it gets all the garbage! Ha! Ha... now kevin will hack in and destroy my computer. I probably shouldn't have said that). Anyways, here it is, kiddies... you can run amok politically now!
