Then I had one of those flashbacks to an old Star Trek episode, the one where Captain Kirk has just assigned a panicky junior officer to the boarding party of a ship a gazillion times bigger which has relented on its threat to destroy them. So I answered him the same way:

It was supposed to be a week for good news from Washington. George Bush was finally forced to withdraw his inane nomination of his cleaning lady to the Supreme court, and special prosecutor Patrick “ The Bulldog ” Fitzgerald finally held his long-awaited press conference. All of D.C awaited with glee the rumored bombshell indictments of Bush ’ s evil eminence Karl Rove, and maybe even the neo-cons ’ Darth Vader himself, Vice President Dick Cheney, on charges of outing a covert CIA agent, perjury, and obstruction of justice. At long last, some justice would be done. At long last, someone was going to be punished for lying us into the illegal and pointless war in Iraq.

Of course, my reaction is that Medicare and other social support systems for healthcare should organize to build networks of retainer-based clinics that would allow patients to avoid expensive emergency room visits and save everyone in the system money. For fairly small fees, people with little or no money could be subsidized into better health care. Right now, hospitals eat huge bills (or pursue people with no money like they 're the Erinyes) or people face financial ruin.

It might not appear that way at first. Mr Bush is unlikely to have to join Richard Nixon, the only president in US history forced to resign from office. But the issues raised by "Plamegate" - the leaking of the identity of Valerie Plame, an undercover CIA agent - are far more significant than those involved in the "second-rate burglary" of the Democratic National Committee's offices in Washington's Watergate complex in the 1970s. They go to the heart of why America, and its faithful ally, Britain, went to war in Iraq.

About a year ago I blogged about the sci-fi series Firefly, created by Joss Whedon, better known as the person behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. As I mentioned in that posting, a movie version was in production, and it was released to generally positive reviews a few weeks ago. What with one thing and another, we didn ’ t actually get to see it until tonight, when it was only still showing on one screen in the area. This is indicative of the general reception around the world, where despite the positive reviews, the reciepts have been lacklustre.

Mr. Libby blundered by not correcting his testimony, as Mr. Rove apparently did, say all the armchair lawyers. Except for that Mr. Libby plainly intended to do exactly what he did, given that he had more than one year to provide different testimony, this could be true, but it isn't.

Went to a Halloween costume party last night with some friends... being the usual conservative me, I didn't dress up. I was, of course, the "official" photographer. One guy dressed up as the pirate, looking more of less like Captain Jack Sparrow "... another dressed up as a vampire, though his face wasn't as white as he should be, and neither did he have any fangs (they didn't stick to his teeth). One girl dressed up as a witch, another as an anime character, Yachiru, a 2-year-old" death god ".

I love my Caleb. So much. He's so excellent... * sigh*went to see "Legend of Zorro" tonight with Caleb, his parents, and his sister. It wasn't the best movie ever, but Antonio Banderas is freakin hott, and watching him and Catherine Zeta-jones on the same screen was almost too much hottness for me to bear. Almost. < 3

I can scarcely contain my glee that Tom Delay features in a mug shot, that Bill Frist is being investigated by the SEC, that Scooter Libby has been indicted, and that Karl Rove may be next. The conservative base is, finally, splitting apart. I'm heartened that Harriet Miers is out of the Supreme Court picture, and I don't even care that her and her "best President ever's" trumped-up reasons for withdrawing her nomination don't withstand scrutiny. I do remain distinctly uncomfortable that various sundry conservatives agreed with me about Miers, but I try to put that out of my mind and pretend it didn't happen. It's eerie that all the Troubles are happening at roughly the same time, but, I guess, if everyone is shitting at the same time, at some point the pot's got to overflow.

Rather, according to the indictment, Mr. Libby did a little digging, found out who Joe Wilson's wife was, and apparently told Judith Miller of the New York Times, who never wrote it up, and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine, who put it into print after Mr. Novak's column had run. What's more, he allegedly did not talk to Tim Russert of NBC about it, although he claimed that he had. Mr. Libby then didn't tell a grand jury and the FBI the truth about what he told those reporters, the indictment claims.

So last night, I went to see "Prime" (Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman) in which Uma is a 37-year old just divorced patient of Meryl, who is a therapist. Uma meets a 23-year old guy and there is instant attraction, so with Meryl's encouragement to get back "out there" in the dating scene, Uma decides to give it a shot, despite her misgivings about the 14-year age gap. Soon, Uma is having the time of her life dating this very sweet younger man.

A continuation of 100 things about me35. My favorite food is lazagna36. For the majority of me Junior year of high school I wanted to live on a pirate ship when I grew up37. I still plan on someday helping to open a MITY school38. I have always wanted to go bungie jumping and skydiving39. I have alway thought it would be cool to own my own business and I might someday, possibly a cute boutique40. My favorite Harry Potter book is The Prisoner of Azkaban41. I sometimes wish I was more impulsive42. I think the greatest tragedy in the world (for me) is to live a normal lifeto be continued...

Hinderacker doesn ’ t provide any information that suggests Ms. Wilson didn ’ t travel overseas in the five years prior to her outing. There ’ s probably a good reason. On October 8, 2003 the Washington Post reported her neighbors, prior to her outing, “ knew Valerie Wilson as a consultant who traveled frequently overseas. ”

If this is a conspiracy to silence administration critics, it was more daft than deft. The indictment itself contains no evidence of a conspiracy, and Mr. Libby has not been accused of trying to cover up some high crime or misdemeanor by the Bush administration. The indictment amounts to an allegation that one official lied about what he knew about an underlying "crime" that wasn't committed. And we still don't know who did tell Mr. Novak -- presumably, it was the soon-to-be-infamous "Official A" from paragraph 21 of the indictment, although we don't know whether Official A was Mr. Novak's primary source or merely a corroborating one.

with Bob Schieffer, who took over as interim anchor when Dan Rather went away. In a year that saw the retirement of both Rather and NBC's Tom Brokaw, and the sad death of ABC's Peter Jennings, Schieffer brings a feeling of continuity, experience and familiarity to the ever-changing landscape of network TV news. While cable networks continue to trot out pretty faces and opinionated assholes to anchor shows, the big 3 networks offer a different animal altogether, one not consumed by the ever-eating monster of 24 hour news. The cable channels have to keep talking, 24/7 (although some seem to repeat shows late at night and on the weekend or offer different fare), while the networks have to squeeze all that news into one nightly half hour.

I am trying to come up with a paper topic. We read Jane Eyre for our Bronte class. We read Turn of the Screw, as our prof claims it is a variation on the Jane Eyre theme, tied in with hysteria and Freud. My prof said I could do other variations on Jane Eyre... Problem, I can't think of any. anyone have any ideas? Same goes for Wuthering Heights. thanks so much!

In 2003, we had "Girl With a Pearl Earring," in which Colin Firth's Vermeer erotically paints Scarlett Johansson's Dutch maid, and Richard Curtis's "Love Actually," about the attraction of unequals. The witty and sophisticated British prime minister, played by Hugh Grant, falls for the chubby girl who wheels the tea and scones into his office. A businessman married to the substantial Emma Thompson, the sister of the prime minister, falls for his sultry secretary. A novelist played by Colin Firth falls for his maid, who speaks only Portuguese.

Craig Miller writes "What better way to end the weekend than by playing a game of Brewster Jennings Protects America? This new game is a Google Maps mashup with the classic'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego'style of game. Run around the world trying to stop a terrorist from carrying an attack. Pretty amusing game and it shows what you can do with the Google Maps API and a little imagination." Despite the jingoistic title and concept it's a lot of fun, and quite challenging on hard.
