3. They're setting this thing up to where the Dems can walk away with

the election.

Instead, they're walking away from the election.

4. So what we have here is:

signs that the Bush Administration was selling favors?

Is that impeachable, or does there have to be sex involved?

2. Yes. I learned that Harry Reid did not kill a would-be filibuster today.

He did it yesterday.

5. I spent the day with my grandson (age four) playing soldiers. His choice.

He has toy soldiers in the battlefield and since it is his choice of a game, I tell him stories about how our soldiers are fierce but fair, and even though we win battles, we are kind to our enemies and forgive them and they are allowed to go back to their homes and families and children. Sometimes I put them in a jail we have set up for enemies, but soon he says to me, "A lot of these guys are good guys and we have to let them go back home to take care of their children."

Don't misunderstand...many get "ka-powed" and resurrected only later on in the game. But there is a high level of fairness and forgiveness in this game.

I have to wonder whether at age four, he wouldn't do a far greater job than Rummy

10. Keep spending time with him.

We may have to home school our kids on how the Geneva Conventions are suppose to work.

6. Yeah. I lost my appetite. Maybe I'll lose a few pounds.

Does that count? Cuz I couldn't find much else to smile at.

Well, the Soyuz spacecraft landed safely in Russia. All three on board are well.
So at least that is good news.

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. I'm happy for Russia.

7. I'm sure in some other country, somewhere.

Because it's going to be easy to cultivate allies for them.
