Lots on the Go
Lots is happening that I want to comment on today.
First, the CIA leak grand jury has adjourned. Rawstory.com is saying that Rove and Libby will be indicted, plus two others not employed by the White House. I'm not believing anything until it happens.
Second, Bush has decided not to waive the Davis-Bacon Act for Katrina rebuilding. About time. He had no damn business lowering wages in an area already economically depressed. No kudos from me. Wonder what his big-biz buddies feel, the ones who will get the contracts down there?
Third, Bill Frist can't stop lying, according to the Tennessean. http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051025/BUSINESS01/510250350
He did know about his HCA stock - it wasn't blind at all. So any votes he did about health insurance or HMOs was informed by his knowledge of his own stock holdings. Conflict of interest, anyone?
Fourth, a speech by Harriet Miers has been discovered in which she supports "self-determination" in matters of abortion and separation of church and state. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/25/AR2005102502038.html I am dying to hear the conservative response. This actually tempts me to support a vote FOR her, although up till this point I haven't supported voting for her because she lacks experience in Constitutional law.
Finally, our very humane Vice President Cheney is now campaigning to allow the CIA to use torture. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/25/AR2005102501388.html
Are we supposed to be setting a good example for other nations, or a bad one?

One more joke
Read this on the blogs.
What do Republican leaders in Congress say when they bump into President Bush? "Pardon me."
Ha!
