UPDATE February 25, 2005: Here she is, Madame Secretary Condoleezza Rice, kickin' butt and takin' names at Wiesbaden Airfield in Germany. BIG VAL sure did call it correctly on this one (see "THE FUTURE" below). So did Robin Givhan, Staff Writer, The Washington Post: "Rice's appearance at Wiesbaden--a military base with all of its attendant images of machismo, strength and power--was striking because she walked out draped in a banner of authority, power and toughness. She was not hiding behind matronliness, androgyny or the stereotype of the steel magnolia. Rice brought her full self to the world stage--and that included her sexuality. It was not overt or inappropriate. If it was distracting, it is only because it is so rare." 'Course there's lots of sour grapes like Maureen Dowd(y), Pulitzer-prize winning The New York Times op-ed columnist: "...the secretary of state also strutted in Wiesbaden in her foxy "Matrix"-dominatrix black leather stiletto boots...". M-e-o-o-o-o-w!

UPDATE August 9, 2004: BIG VAL is really hot! MSNBC reported this morning that apparently Arizona "Indians" had endorsed the Kerry/Edwards team. News footage showed a "Chief" blessing Senator and Mrs. Kerry with what looked like to BIG VAL a turkey feather. 'Prolly was an eagle feather but that sort of misuse could certainly render it a turkey feather (according to BIG VAL). Whatever. Looks like the "Indians" have become the frickin' AFL-CIO. Next thing, the Sufis will be endorsing political campaigns. GOTTA GO y'all, BIG VAL is pickin' up her (war) paintbrush.

We're a nation of individuals...one woman/one man, one vote. Itsa start. Also, GET OUT WITH THE BUMPER STICKERS! We're sick of looking at all the hokey "Vote for My Candidates" trash on your bumpers (and in your windows and in your yards). We don't give a flying bat's mass who y'all vote for or why. BIG VAL's friend J. said "I'd vote for Arnie just because he has a great butt." Whatever. It's her vote and that's as good a reason as any. BIG VAL and BIG AL are thinkin' maybe y'all would start paying attention if you started voting. So get up off your lazy slacker butts, GET INFORMED ("Show Me The Money!")

'Specially on the WWW. Itsanother thing to LIE. Sure, y'all know non-profit is code word for SCAM. Non-partisan in this case is A BIG SUCKIN' LIE. BIG VAL queries "Has anyone heard of a non-profit, partisan, tax-deductible 501(c)(3) corporation?" Don't think so. Sounds "Phish-y" to BIG VAL.
