What a week – the justice department laid an egg and boy did it smell rotten when it cracked open!
Al Gore was on the hill telling them how the cow ate the cabbage (although he didn’t say much about land based methane, just methane in the ice at sea.)
Bush is going back to stonewalling and we find that they either do not use government email servers, preferring to use RNC servers instead, or just do NOT use emails because they anticipate suits!
The dems seemed to have found some cartilige and are calling for subpoenas from both houses. Now we will see whether packing the courts and DOJ has paid off for the Bushites.
So what changes have you felt? Spring? New corners turned? I find myself completely retired and totally unsure how to deal with it. Yes, I have plans, but really most of them seem to involve a person I am not (housecleaning? UGH)!
So how are your stress points these days? Where do you see changes either coming or going? New job? New home? New place? How is your health? Are you just hanging on or are you ready to do a tap dance?
What’s your predictions? Will Bush feel the heat? Will Gonzo go? Will Rove find the door hitting him on the butt on his way out? Will there be some courage on the part of the repubs to throw off their yolk and come into the light? Will we get a raise! Or just a rise out of Tony Snow? Will we be able to do something to save our hides re global warming?
You know how the stress point counter goes: you get one for moving, one for buying a new home, etc. Well add a stress point for each scandal you are following!

and variable, some days it goes off the scale…
personally, even after multiple re-calibrations… I’m this > < close to blowing it all off, getting a giant bag of popcorn, kicking back, and watching the spectacle unfold.
retirement is starting to have a very strong appeal….perhaps the south of France would be nice…
Really gorgeous there. Or maybe wine country? Go for it!

looks good to me, so I’m “on the bus”, airbus that would be, this time around!
and you can grow yer own…and look for Black Diamonds aka: truffles…not to be confused w/ ‘shrooms. :{)
good to see ya aboot…how’s the photo-ops in the north country?
Photo ops in da nortlund? Well the sunrises ain’t been so hot this trip due to ground fog and overcast, but I touched off several practice shots anyway. I guess it’s better to be a learnin’ on the not-so-hot than pissed at missing the spectacular.
Also, I managed to catch a few birdies in and around the feeder, so we’ll see what they look like when I get to the city computer, TH evening.
s’il vous plait … 😉
Inhofe is such a jerk. The highlight of my day was Boxer saying to him: “You don’t make the rules any more; elections have consequences.”
I’d sell everything and sign up for another expat assignment tomorrow but I have aging parents, a grandson and one last kid.
I am aging too but VeriMed makes a hospital stay a thing to avoid. They can implant that microchip in my cold dead arm.
All in all though this current nonsense is just that, nonsense. The real Machiavellian shit is a heartbeat away.

Getting promoted to fp was really a great welcome surprise!
let a pun! Talking about rotten eggs and the repubs throwing off the yolk!!!!
Just ‘cuz I know this kind of stuff and think it’s fun.
This phrase is supposedly based in an actual event in which a circus elephant (presumably a small one)escaped and ended up in the cabbage patch of a local resident. The woman of the house called the police to report a “cow” in her cabbage patch (one assumes she had never seen an elephant before and couldn’t imagine anything other than a cow at that size and relative shape).
The police were a bit confused by her description of the animal “pulling the cabbages up with it’s ‘tail’ (trunk) and eating them.”
Which leads to the punch line – “and you should see how the cow ate the cabbage.” (For those of you who need it spelled out, if the trunk was it’s “tail” than the “cow” was stuffing the cabbages up it’s anus)
It now means: To confront someone concerning a perceived wrong, slight, injury or insult.
Oh, I’m not nearly as stressed now as before the Nov. elections. I took a late lunch at my favorite pub today and had fun watching Tony Snow squirm on MSNBC. More will be revealed!
And congrats, you ole front pager you;-)
I`m watching the “War Zone Diary” by Richard Engel on MSNBC.
It may be graphic to some people but should be watched by everybody at breakfast. It is quite real compared to regular tv.
I recommend it.
