Signs of Goodbye

It's rare when anyone in the Bush administration pays any sort of price for their criminal acts while doing the president's bidding so this comes as a surprise. Say goodbye to Alberto.

"Better late than never," said Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, summing up the response of many to the resignation.

Include me in that number Mr. Edwards.

Signs of a Vacation

My ex-wife is getting married in New Mexico and I'm house sitting for her while she gets the deed done. Cable, DSL and air conditioning (three things I don't have at my place) make this a pretty cush gig although her dog is driving me nuts. Our dog is a schipperke (with an attitude) and she's behaving better than Biscuit. This morning our dog discovered the rocking horse tiger in Travis' bedroom and went off. It was a wonder to behold as she went absolutely bonkers, barking and snarling at it but making sure that she stayed at least 10 feet away while doing so. We pushed the tiger around the house towards her and laughed as she continued to treat it as a grave threat to her health. She finally got close enough to it to nip it when we put it away. If your wondering what this post has to do with anything, don't. Just ride the tiger and enjoy.

Signs of a Boner

A federal intelligence court (FISA) judge secretly ruled earlier this year that the administration's wiretapping of communications between two countries overseas that are passed between the United States were illegal, according to the Post. After Boehner's leak, two other government officials confirmed the story to the the paper.

I wondered what motivated our criminal in chief to be pushing so strongly for changes to FISA. I guess that breaking the laws of our land does upset him somewhat so he's urging that we change those pesky laws. I say we just give in and make him our King. It will save time and give us all a break from acting like we live in a democracy.
