He's Here

Well, after months of anticipation, Sarah, my sister-in-law, finally had her baby. Matthew Conrad Perry was born around 10:40 pm on Friday, July 27th. He weighed in at 7 lbs 14 oz and was measured at right around 20 inches. He's got dark hair, dark eyes, and basically looks just like my brother did when he was first born. April and I are already looking forward to years of spoiling him and then giving him back. There will be more pictures to follow as my mom emails them to me.

Copper Top

So this past weekend, after much searching and trying, April and I finally adopted a dog. His name is Copper and he's a puggle (a pug/beagle mix). I don't know who had him before, but he is very well trained, knows how to sit, shake, and I'm fairly certain he's housebroken as we haven't had any problems so far. He's certainly a little ball of cuteness that we're happy to have added. Now everybody just has to come and see him...well....GET ON IT!

You Mean He Hasn't Already?

So MSNBC.com reported today that President Bush will be ceding power to Vice President Dick Cheney while he's under anesthesia for a routine colonoscopy. This brings up the question that I'm sure we're all thinking about - isn't Cheney already in power? Why does Bush have to have a colonoscopy (though maybe they can find whatever stick he has up his ass in regards to Iraq) for the world to know that Cheney is calling the shots?

Checking it In

Well, after 3 years I've finally handed in my bachelor card. On Friday I proposed to April and she said yes, so I am officially engaged. To all the ladies, I'm sorry, but she's m April and I can't think of anybody else I'd rather spend the rest of my life with. We're looking at around June of next year for the wedding, but as details come out I'll be sure to keep the world informed.

Credibility Out the Window

Well, it's official. Whatever credibility Bush was hoping to hold out for his presidency has officially been thrown out the window. Yesterday Bush commuted the sentence of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Mind you, he didn't pardon him, but Libby isn't going to have to serve the 30 months of jail time that he had been sentenced to. Welcome to the fraternity that is our Executive branch of government (minus Dick Cheney, because he's not really part of the executive branch according to his offices).
While this certainly saves the Republicans running for office in 2008 the hassle of having to worry about the question of pardoning Libby, it's unfair to get rid of the real punishment of Libby's conviction. Bush was even quoted as saying that he respected the conviction but thought the sentence was too extreme. Obviously he did not respect the conviction because he circumvented the real punishment that the conviction resulted in. Sure there's the 2 years probation and 250,000 dollar fine, but that's not 30 months in prison like it was supposed to be.
So, in light of all of this, I would like to congratulate Bush on handing the 2008 elections to the Democrats, again. You've continued to do things that screw your party out of having any hope of winning a major election in the near future. And any hope your brother Jeb had of ever running for President is gone. Way to stick it to the family. Ass.
