Joe Wilson and Valerie Plane No secrets What Gives?

Valerie Plane had not been undercover for six or seven years. She was a glorified secretary for the C,I.A., or to be more polite a file clerk. Her job was basically a Bob Cratchitt, hardly a vital cog in the undercover world who needed to worry about secrecy. Besides her half-wit hubby Joe Wilson had been spending his time in Washingtong bragging about his "CIA wife" to anyone unlucky enough to get stuck listening to him. After establishing that there was no crime in so-called "outing" of the identification of this CIA agent special investigator Fitzgerald then has to make a stretch of imagination to come up some kind of charge he can fool a grand jury with. After all he's making a peripheral charge upon an action that has already been established to not have been a crime in the first place.

But Ronnie Earl got indictments under similar circumstances. If it it worked in Texas it ought to work in the Federal court too? Oh, but wait a minute, that was only indictments, it hasn't worked in Texas yet and all indications are the indictments aren't worth the paper they were printed on. That would appear to be the case against Mr. Libby.

That if for Baseball and Harriet Miers

Neither one was very exciting, and both the World Series and Harriet Miers were over almost before they started! They will at least make for interesting historical footnotes. Maybe when we look back at these days the 2005 Words Series won't seem like such a letdown (to all non-Chicagoans) and we'll just remember Harriet as a prequel. My prediction is Janet Rogers Brown, arguably the most qualified and able woman jurist in the country. I was flabbergasted that she was'nt given the nomination in the first place. Having been through qualification already what excuse could the senate judiciary committee give for turning her down now? Rhetorical question when dealing with half and never wits like Edward Kennedy, Joe Biden, Arlen Specter and Diane Feinstein just to name the cream of the crop.

Don't worry about the Series

It's a miracle either team made it to the World Series at all so lets just enjoy the games. Whoever wins it'll be fun.

Remember Jan Egelund, the loudmouth Norwegian?

When Jan Egelund was whining about America being stingy. As if America doesn't alreadys give enough money to the U.N? Maybe we should quit paying his salary. What is he so proud of anyway...ask around for famous Norwegians throughout history and see how few people can think of any name other than Vidkun Quisling. He and Egelund are cut from the same cloth.

mistreatment at Gitmo?

Torture in Guantanamo Bay? The Bush haters are in dreamland again. The worst recorded cases of mistreatment at Gitmo consists of two items.

a. Orange chicken without enough sauce

b. being forced to listen to Britney Spears(not exactly pleasant in my
estimation but still somewhat short of actual mistreatment)

Silent Hill

Any other fans of the Silent Hill video games out there? Those things are downright creepy. They are even better than watchin monster movies in the dark. Something I did when I was a kid. I remember one in particular when I was no older than seven or eight that involved a group of explorers in India getting trapped in a chamber with lepers. Had nightmares for months, used to see leprous hands coming up out of the bed after me. Kinda what the SH Games are like. My personal favorite is SH2. Not cuz it has the hardest gameplay but I think it is just creepy and fun at the same time. I have a blast trying to come up with the best ending. "Maria" or "Leave" , "In the Water"and "UFO" anyone else come up with the UFO ending? .
Not quite sure how I managed to make it, use the Blue Gem at least 3 times in the Garden at the Hospital, on the Dock and at the Hotel and had had the dog ending previously. I think thats all that was different.

South Park Conservative?

What's all this hoopla about the so called South Park Conservative? I've sat through a few episodes of "South Park", but had to give up on more than I could finish. They are sometimes funny, more often mildly amusing, frequently gross, and always include frequent gratuitous cursing.


To me South Park shows proof of three things

1. Liberals can be Politically Incorrect

2. Liberals can be more gross than conservatives
(like that's news to anyone!)

3. Cartoon artwork nowdays is poorly drawn and getting
even worse, something I had'nt thought possible.
