Well, I’m only half-ashamed to admit that growing up I was among the last to discontinue writing Santa Claus-I think I stopped around the time my wish for a Gilette Sensor went unfulfilled. Anyway, until a couple of hours ago I had hope that the “straight arrow” prosecutor, the “Boy Scout” Patrick Fitzgerald was not going to indict anyone save perhaps either of the Wilson sickos. I mean, Fitz is such the consummate pro, his office does NOT leak we were told-then how... Read More→

Libby Indicted on 5 counts (obstruction of justice, perjury). I thought Bill Clinton had set a precedent that you could commit perjury and not get indicted. I guess it all depends on what the definition of is is. Posted by Nick Vertucci  Read More →

This popped into my email box, maybe you all got the same thing, too. Might be worth a look, though. This is straight from the press release: Confronting Iraq: Conflict and Hope, a new version of Roger Aronoff’s intense documentary, will be launched at the Eureka International Film Festival in New York on October 28. The first version won the top prize for Documentary Features at the WorldFest Film Festival in Houston earlier this year. In an attempt to set the record straight, this film examines... Read More→

CNN is drawing a comparison between American dissatisfaction with the White House and the White Sox curse, saying that if the 88 year curse could be lifted, maybe President Bush can make a comeback too….. um, yeah. That’s not even comparing apples to oranges….that’s like comparing apples to water buffalo…. (and as an added ‘stick it to ya’, they mention that 41 and Barbara even stayed to “watch the Astros lose.”) Gail Allenstill at work and stuck... Read More→

Are my ears deceiving me or did I hear Bill Frist just join the ranks of Hillary Clinton and call for hearings to investigate high-energy prices. Hey Bill it’s called supply and demand! For our Senators to be even thinking about taxing the profits of energy companies above the already current tax rate is absurd! The $6 billion they paid this quarter in taxes isn’t enough? The real problem with the people in this country (Senators included) is that they don’t know how to compute percentages.... Read More→

All this- all the South Park and Godfather references, the unattributed PJ O’Rourke quotations, the blatantly obvious House of Hapsburg parallels and the tie-in of all experience to the feckless fortunes of the Buffalo Bills- all this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this blog, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin. What a relief-a few more hours, perhaps a few days for... Read More→

“Extremist” May come in the form of “Extreme Right-Winger”, “Extreme Right”, “Extreme Right Wing”, etc. Whenever you hear Ted Kennedy, DiFi, Chuckie, et al. use this word while bloviating on the Senate floor or in front of the cameras, scream at the top of your lungs!

To clarify my earlier post – the White House is now back on track and finally ready to nominate a first choice candidate and is not afraid to fight for confirmation.  Read More →

In the end I think this is a good thing. I can’t help but wonder if this is actually the result of a refocussed West Wing. Yesterday, Rove’s attorneys met with Fitzgerald. Maybe the White House has been assured that Rove is in the clear, and no longer distracted by the threat of indictment doesn’t fear of a confirmation show down. Daphne  Read More →
