Isn’t it actually better that he’s taking time off? Maybe he should stretch this weekend into 22 months or so.

Yea well,good point. He doesn’t actually do anything but complain and threaten anyways.

Any guesses out there as to which particular malfeasances Monica thinks will get her indicted?

Assuming she does have an actual crime in mind (and not just “I refuse to testify because the Democrats are going to be mean to me”), the two top contenders among the commenters here and at TPM seem to be:

- Encouraging others to lie to Congress
- Administering Republican loyalty oaths to Assistant US Attorney candidates (and possibly other federal employees.)

How about conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice.

allan_in_upstate @ 75 asks: “Oh, and you think Andover and Yale teach it any better?”

Given the examples of Chimpy in Charge who has proved he can’t even read what is written for him, probably not. Not sure if we’ve actually had the opportunity to see his actually writing skills.

There’s teaching– and then there’s learning. Two different things.

See mine @134.

Maybe good fiction, but he claims to be a reporter….

Here’s what happened to the SA bombs.

Cheers.

That’s just crap. Our arsenal is plutonium-, not uranium-based. There is no way anything from our arsenal could possibly be mistaken for something the Iraqis might have constructed themselves, even if they had the capacity to enrich uranium to weapons grade.

Umm, not true. We’ve used HEU in weapons off and on for many years after the `50s. The Mk. 53, for example, was all-uranium and was in the permanent stockpile until about 1997. The W-87 and W-88 use both plutonium in the primary and HEU in the secondary.

There are other examples retired after 1991.

Does that mean Madsen is right? Certainly not. He’s often been wrong on a host of different issues.

You’re correct; I should have qualified.

However, the MK-53 was a 9-megaton thermonuclear city buster that we would have had no possible reason to take out for a spin. Your other examples still rely on plutonium primaries. Besides, the jump from nuclear to thermonuclear is a massive technological leap, requiring orders of magnitude greater technological sophistication and resources than needed for Iraq just to make a garden-variety A-bomb.
