1. Thanks for the post, cal!

I'll tune in to see Senator Kennedy.

[femmocrat]

2. Thanks, cal04.

ABC could be the best bet this week... but I wish they would have someone on to talk about Cheney's defection from the Executive branch!

[PDJane]

3. I'm going to point out that Bush has decided

That he's exempt too.

The White House said Friday that, like Vice President Dick Cheney's office, President Bush's office is not allowing an independent federal watchdog to oversee its handling of classified national security information.

An executive order that Bush issued in March 2003 - amending an existing order - requires all government agencies that are part of the executive branch to submit to oversight. Although it doesn't specifically say so, Bush's order was not meant to apply to the vice president's office or the president's office, a White House spokesman said.

The issue flared Thursday when Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Los Angeles) criticized Cheney for refusing to file annual reports with the federal National Archives and Records Administration, for refusing to spell out how his office handles classified documents, and for refusing to submit to an inspection by the archives' Information Security Oversight Office.

The archives administration has been pressing the vice president's office to cooperate with oversight for the last several years, contending that by not doing so, Cheney and his staff have created a potential national security risk.

5. well then someone should ask who's in charge, Dick or W?

After extensively researching the US Constitution this morning before I attacked the crossword puzzle I have discovered that the term Vice President appears in that revered and trusted document and its amendments no less than than twenty four times. In no instance does the term appear near the words “shall be an employee of the executive department,” however, the term also does not appear near the words “shall maintain an office in the White House where he will hold secret meetings with the various “Captains of Industry” and where it will be convenient for him, from time to time, to pick up the President by the ears for a good corrective shake.”

In a strange world, Dick Cheney is in favor of an all powerful executive. Just up to the point the executive executive exerts any power over him. At that point the Vice President is not subject to the president’s will because Cheney has a small legislative function as well in the Senate. Irony is not dead. But it is gravely wounded. Cheney is not subject to the legislative branch because he is part of the executive…The scariest words to come out of Cheney’s office are we’re confident. What does that mean? We’re delusional. When will somebody ask Bush who really is in charge?

4. Koch could be interesting but if he starts in on how we need to bomb Iran it will make me nuts.

Maybe I should just watch Kennedy and garden in the morning. (I'm still pissed at Koch for supporting the invasion of Iraq.)
