In a few words, could someone

[hyphenate]

give everyone an update on the various issues that we're sweating out?

Things like progress on Karl "the Weasel" Rove; the DSM, the Ohio crap with Blackwell and other Ohio GOP asshats; John Roberts, the man who would be justice; Bolton "I hate the UN" Bolton and his recess appointment, Rehnquist and his current condition; and any other scandals or situations which have somehow or in some way been thrown to the ground or at least to the side in light of all the other repug-nant shit that has crept its way into our consciousness?

I don't get a chance to update myself on these many issues very much dealing with RL and with a severely short attention span, but I sure as hell would prefer to get updates from people here and on TDS (which I do try to watch, but don't always manage) if it's at all possible. I'm sure that many of us would welcome a quick summary of progress or at least a brief update of where things are going, and if there is anything we can do if we have the ability and the time to do it.

Thanks!

4. Where to begin

Rove still hasn't been fired, and other stories have put him on the back burner. Judith Miller is still in jail, still not talking. "Fuck the UN" Bolton is now the US ambassador to the UN, given a perfectly legal but ethically repugnant recess appointment by the Chimp. John Roberts is still a Supreme Court nominee; questions about the adoption of his 2 blond kids from Latin America, his pro-bono work for gays, and his defense of "pro-life" protestors at women's clinics notwithstanding. Near as I can figure, both the extreme right and extreme left hate Roberts because he's so, ummm.. ambiguous. Vague? Wishy-washy? Secretive? I don;t know. Rhenquist is still alive.

Freeper-types are blasting the 9/11 Commission for allegedly discounting the ONE intelligence report that MAY HAVE mentioned hijacker pilot Mohammad Atta a year before the AQ jet attacks. At least that was what a US intelligence type told the Commission. He didn't have any proof; just said he saw the report, dontcha know... Rightie critics say the fact that this "fact" wasn't in the final "9/11" report is proof of an anti-Bush, pro-Clinton coverup, conveniently forgetting that the 9/11 Commission was bipartisan and formed under a GOP President and GOP Congress.

Cindy Sheehan, bless her heart, remains camped outside Chimp's pig ranch in Crawford, Texas, demanding that the Chimp explain, if not justify her soldier son's death in Iraq. Read all about it at DU.

I know I've missed stuff, but what the heck...
