And, Finally, Here Come the Indictments...

After watching MSNBC tonight, the veteran is a bit lost as to what Joe Scarborough's opinion on the leak case is. It would seem he's all for taking out Scooter Libby (who's certainly not an unknown), but he gave little information on how he feels about Karl Rove (a slippery bastard, to be sure). At any rate, it's starting to seem much like a reality show. In other news, Harriet Miers has withdrawn herself from the nomination to replace Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Miers, a relative unknown with around twenty-seven years of regular judicial experience, made the decision completely on her own according to the White House. With her readily apparent lack of knowledge on Constitutional law (yes, there is a difference between that and regular laws, if you're a newbie), it would seem to be a wise choice on her part. It remains to be seen, however, whether the President will lose face over this affair, and who he will nominate next.
Also, it would seem that a small SNAFU with The Onion has caused some angst in the hallowed halls of the White House. Quite simply, the Onion is a source of satire and parody, much like Wonkette (both are wicked funny). The use of the Presidential Seal along with parody speeches has inflamed relations with the White House, and there appears to be a protest going on in retaliation (against the White House). For your disapproval, therefore, I present my copy of the Presidential Seal:

Just an Observation...

The veteran read over on BradBlog (yes, a decidedly left blog, and quite entertaining to boot) that the renowned Ms. Coulter seems to have an issue with the First Amendment (also amusing, as she seems to support the slighty altered version of the Second that the NRA and Ashcroft tout). Annie makes all her money by USING her First Amendment rights, doesn't she? Ol' Ann's always good for a chuckle, though (in a schaudenfreude sort of way).
Also, developments with the administration are interesting as usual. DeLay's slowly getting an all-American boot up his ass, Bush is appointing no-name judicial nominees, and we're still playing in the sandbox. The veteran's going to be seeing that new movie, Jarhead, as soon as he gets a chance. Talk to you all soon!

Batshit Craziness!!

Well..... Grandma died, my car died, our move fell through at the last moment, et cetera... Just wanted to let you all know that I might be on a bit sporadically for the next week or two...

On another note, John Roberts was confirmed and is now the new Chief Justice, Miers is taking the place of Sandra Day O'Connor, and Cheney's becoming even more obscure as Frist and DeLay are getting chewed up and spit out by the legal system. More later, kiddies!
