This is a typical case of doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons.

So, is today the last day of Chertoff’s stomach ailment? Other than grocery store bomb threats all over the country, it sounds like his gut feeling was a blow-out. On to September. Interesting how everything is centered around mid-September.

There is always Brisingamen’s(sp?) “spell”…

Damn straight! I’m putting the word out on a pagan maillist I participate in so that my water brothers and sisters (plus other likeminded Pagans) can join me.

I may have a little more for y’all after this weekend.

Actually, I believe Gore has already counted himself out. Whatever his faults, he’s no dummy – he knows damn well he won’t get a fair shake from the corporate media, just like last time.

neither the President nor his staff are above the law

Then somebody might want to remind them of that fact.
