3. If the grey matter serves me well
I believe Valerie Plame is testifying somewhere to someone on Friday. No doubt the white house will have to cook up a story to deflect attention away from that truth.

15. Right you are, BOSS. She testifies on Friday in front of the
Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

16. Thanks for confirming that Granny
I have no problem remembering stuff that happened 40 years ago, but the current stuff needs a little more effort.

17. I tell people that I haven't had as much time for remembering the
new stuff. The old stuff has been with me for years and is indelibly etched upon my memory. When you reach a certain age, people either think you know what you are talking about or they are much too polite to refute your opinions or recollections. In either case, it doesn't hurt to take advantage of it.

6. Nah...If Gonzales goes, Bush & Co. have no one to provide cover
...it would be impossible to put someone in his place as A.G. who would have the fortitude to deny all the calls for Special Counsels.

9. My vote...
Musharraf getting the boot

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21378237-2703,00.html

I know it is a long shot, but to cover up Plame's testimony will require big time news. Add in the fact that this is getting ZERO coverage in our media and it sounds like this is a done deal.

A story like this requires "in-depth analysis" that could fill an entire hour of news broadcast time.

"What does this mean for the war on terra?" and so forth

18. Coroner's report reveals Anna Nicole was pregnant
...with Alberto Gonzales' love-child. Or maybe it was Newt Gingrich's. Emperor Bunnypants I has suffered "optical and respiratory problems" after breathing the disinfectant used to sanitize Mayan ruins after his visit, and is now suffering hallucinations and delusions of competence. Four lawyers claim in affadavit, "Cheney shot me, too!"
