2. Congressional Black Caucus goes crazy, threatens mutiny come November.

3. Bush steps in and freezes all but can’t take news cycle because of Enron.

4. Bush/Repubs may have in-fighting among Dems for at least 45 days.

This is a key part of our future rapid evolution I feel. The netroot’s netswarm’s armed with most netcash will be the winners of this netwar.

Yes, movie or maybe reality TV show.
No UCLA writing course, but thanks for the compliment.

If he didn’t and is sticking to the story he cooked up with Rove, he will be indicted for perjury. If he was given immunity and then lied, he is deeply screwed. Fitzgerald will not let him skate.

But having watched this consummate worm, he caved right away. He’s Fitz’s parakeet.

however – the faux patrick j fitgerald poster – gives me the shits – he is neither intelligent or humorous nor if his posting & site are any sign – no sense of irony at all

just a very particular problem of the postmoderncondition – the usurpation of identity
