Well, here we are at the end of yet another week. And what a week it’s been. Tom DeLay is down and out. Danny Goldberg is up and out (or over, or something). The Dpartment of Homeland Security is full of pedophiles. The US Attorney General (who has taken an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States”) testified yesterday that not only can the president spy on Americans who might be talking to foreign nationals, but that he “wouldn’t rule out” wiretapping of totally domestic calls without a warrant, either (again, I think the fourth amendment is possibly the most simply written and easy to understand piece of the constitution, but then again I think “thou shalt not kill” should be pretty fucking clear to all those hate-filled, war mongering bible thumpers out there, too). We now know that dubya authorized the leak of the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq (or we know, at least, that Libby said that Cheney said that Georgie said it’d be OK). Even Fox News has Bush’s approval ratings down in the 30’s (he’s even losing ground with Republicans, which is really all he’s got left, since independents left this boat a loooong time ago), so – surprise, surprise – now they’re putting the word out that a military confrontation with Iran is “unavoidable.” That, and there’s no Marc tonight. I hope Bill Maher doesn’t have any wingnuts on later, or you might find me out teevee shopping in the morning. Happy Friday y’all – and a special howdy to Farmerkat, now that we know she’s up and reading the blog.
