BooMan is stuck in Milwaukee for four hours until his flight home to Philadelphia. He’s got four big SSSS’s on his ticket. He’s a high security risk, and gets tested for everything, even bomb-making residue on his shoes. We laughed about it, but it’s a hassle. His heart is broken over WW’s daughter’s death and the funeral, but I hold him in the highest esteem for being by his dear friend’s side. He should be home by 8pm ET. He’s anxious to visit the site, so he hung up to go find an Internet cafe while he waits for his flight. Below, I’ll post what I was going to use for an Open Thread:

Some more goodies:

An uncivil war rages inside the walls of the West Wing of the White House, a bitter, acrimonious war driven by a failed agenda, destroyed credibility, dwindling public support and a President who lapses into Alzheimer-like periods of incoherent babbling…

Bush, whose obscenity-laced temper tantrums increase with each new setback and scandal, abruptly ended one Camp David meeting by telling everyone in the room to ‘go fuck yourselves’ before he stalked out of the room.
