So formidable a foe is Cheney that appointed dragon slayer Patrick Fitzgerald is either still girding his loins or has abandoned his quest to indict him as quixotic. In other words, counting out Cheney is premature. In fact, Robert Dreyfuss recently described him as "suddenly revived." <more>

First, I am called a "junkyard dog prosecutor," and now "dragon slayer!" I prefer a dedicated and uncorruptable prosecutor who is busily working on his Opening Statement.

Good Morning, Mr.Fitzgerald.
I'm sure you are working hard on that opening statement. Would love to hear it.
I hope the legal process catches Cheney in his lies. He's dangerous.
"Dragon Slayer" is kinda cool.I'm not sure if there are any dragons in the WH. Maybe some dinasoars. Maybe a dragonlady (Condi Rice)

Dragon Slayer.
I have been called that, too.

I bet Mr.Fitzgerald is awesome in the courtroom. I would also like to see the witnesses squirm on the stand.
Good Morning
Hey Fitz you're pretty good on the nursery rhymes hehe
I know your opening statement will level them and they'll never recover
Busy already today...there are vigils tonight, so my phone ringing off the hook. Hope all the JB's are looking for one in their area. MoveOn is sponsoring all over the country. Type in your zip to find one.
Good Morning Everyone!
We are so fortunate to have the best Prosecutor in this country.. on this case!
Fitz will do just fine! :)
Hi, s_q, Hi,t. Have a good morning. BBL.
Here is the info again..
to IMPEACH BUSH and CHENEY!
IMPEACH FOR PEACE
Ok hard working Prosecutor listen up while you were sleeping Dick Cheney ordered the following:
Bush invaded Iran last night
Yes now the Administration is invading Iran as to push them into full scale war. It's all about the oil rights in the Middle East. What would the US do if that happen to us. Well let's see how the President of Iran handles this invasion. The US has really changed in the past 6 years we're now becoming the number Axis of Evil. I noticed some feel Bush should send more troops well those same people better look for troops to be sent to Iran as that's the next country Bush will invade and try to control. Funny how people follow an idiot even when they know he's wrong and an idiot.
Now that Congress is working for a change we have raised the wage earners, some elected officials say that was wrong and some Americans say the Dems aren't doing enough. I say for all that gave a gift to a child for Christmas maybe now their parents can earn enough money to feed them for a year. As the gift can't feed the child but it gives them one moment of happiness. Some people think the gift of raiseing their parents salary is better. It warm our hearts to see a child smile with a Christmas gift we gave, while the rest of the year we never notice they are hungry.
The new minimum wage is not a living wage. It would have been great about
25 years ago. I'm speaking in terms of the cost of living where I am. It is way too little too late,unfortunately.
Good Morning Fitzie and Justice Bloggers...
I think we can guess what Ambien Cheney and Scooter-Patootie call you behind closed doors...LOL
Fitzie, you are a man for all seasons. Can't wait to hear your opening statement too.
Looking forward to FDL's coverage of the trial...Although I'd rather be a fly on the wall of the courtroom though. But Judge Reggie denied me access because of my coloful blogging...
Go Team Fitzie!!!
Five more days...and the countdown continues!
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening folks!
TGIT!
Looking forward to hearing aobut Fitz's opening statement. Try to look appealing and give a impression to the jurors, Fitz. And let's hope that Cheney doesn't fall asleep on Pat when he cross-examines money bags.
On a side note: And as far as being called childish names such as the junkyard dog, you should know by now, Fitz, that you are damn if you do and damn if you don't in anything. You can't please everyone. You have to expect good and bad criticisms from people. And great leaders endure criticism and take it in stride. But, what I am most concern is for you to protect your attitude. You know who you are and where you are going in life. So, if some nimrod talks nonsense about you, just roll that negative thought out your mind and concentrate of what is positive in your case. The negative nimrods need to get a life and bark up some other tree. They are just there to disrupt you and your tasks. Focus, focus, focus is most important in this case. That's my 2 cents.
Forgot to add:
Yes, all eyes on Iran for the Ambien.. It's all about the benjamins and oil.

BTW, Rep. Todd Tiahrt from KS, if you see him walking around DC...please ask the jerk how he thinks people in Kansas can get by on a minimum wage of $2.35 a hour (restaurant help) that hasn't changed for years. He voted nay, find something on his evil butt please.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice let slip her media preferences on Thursday, saying "I love every single one" of Fox News network's correspondents and also favors CBS anchor Harry Smith.
Harry Smith is a jerk Bush kisser, and Fox is Fox. Condoleezza let thousands of people die and should be held accountable for her actions and lies. She is a disgrace and a fraud.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From Howard Dean:
Last night, George Bush plans announce that he wants to send tens of thousands more troops to Iraq.
The American people oppose it. The generals, both active-duty and retired, say that it won't help. But George Bush thinks he can do it anyway.
He's got another thing coming.
We believe the Democratic Congress must have the opportunity to review and approve the troop increase in Iraq.
Whether you agree with a policy of escalation or not, Congress's involvement is fundamental to our democratic process. The people's representatives must consent to sending troops and spending money -- particularly on something as controversial as sending tens of thousands more troops into the middle of a civil war.
Unlike the way we got into this war, America must have a real conversation about how to end it. Congress finally asserting its constitutional authority is the only way that conversation will happen.
The most effective thing you can do right now is send a letter to the editor of your local paper about escalation, and let them know that you demand a vote on any troop increase. Writing your letter to the editor is simple using our PartyBuilder advocacy tools. Just click here to get started:
http://www.democrats.org/escalation
Why should Congress have to be consulted?
Because this is a new level of engagement in Iraq, far different than anything the Congress has authorized to date.
Whatever you felt about that Iraq vote in 2002, it's impossible to deny that the situation now has deteriorated and the president's policies have continually failed. We now know that the administration's claims about WMD stockpiles and Saddam's ties to al Qaeda were false. We also that the regime we went in to depose is long gone.
We've been fighting in Iraq for longer than we fought in World War II. There is a full-blown civil war there. And Saddam is dead.
The American people, through their elected representatives, deserve a voice in the decision to send tens of thousands more troops there.
Please take a moment and use the PartyBuilder Letters to Editors tool to make your voice heard:
http://www.democrats.org/escalation
Congressional oversight may seem strange to the pundits who have gotten used to a Republican-led group that barely showed up to work and didn't take its constitutional responsibilities seriously.
But there's plenty of precedent for it.
In the 1970's Congress passed laws to stop Richard Nixon from expanding the Vietnam War into Cambodia and, later, to cap the number of personnel allowed in Vietnam in order to force the administration to wind down the war.
In the 1980's Congress required Ronald Reagan to seek explicit authorization if he planned to expand U.S. forces in Lebanon and capped the number of troops on permanent duty elsewhere in the world.
Congress has the constitutional duty to represent the people, and the new Democratic Congress is prepared to live up to that responsibility.
Please write a letter to your local paper now demanding a debate on Bush's escalation plan:
http://www.democrats.org/escalation
I opposed this war from the beginning. But no matter how you felt then, it's clear that the president's policy has failed.
Last year's elections were a referendum on Iraq, and the president lost.
Ignoring the lessons of history by increasing troop levels is not an answer to the problems in Iraq. Nor is blaming the military for the President's own mistakes an answer, or ignoring the bipartisan Baker-Hamilton Commission recommendations, including an emphasis on diplomacy. And ignoring the will of the American people is certainly not an answer.
The people made their voices heard, and if the president isn't going to listen, the Democratic Congress will.
Democrats in Congress heard the people loud and clear in 2006. In 2007, they are ready to act.
Let's join them.
Governor Howard Dean, M.D.
Bloggers rule!
When the trial of Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice opens next week, scores of journalists are expected to throng the federal courtroom in Washington, far too many for the 100 seats set aside for the media.

Hmmm.. opening statement to Libby trial. I wonder what Fitz will say..
A sample excerpt:
Ladies and gentleman, of the jury, I am Special Prosecutor Bill Biloxi. Here on the left is my co-counsel, Brand X. I. Lewis Scooter Libby is charged with five counts: two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts to lying to the investigators, and one count of making false statements. A law was broken in this case, ladies and gentleman. The government will take you into the world of the former White House chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby that will lead up to the events of the leaking of the CIA covert’s identity in the New York Times article on July 14, 2003, classified information, ladies and gentlemen, to a chain of reporters. You will see that defendant, I. Lewis Libby was in the right state of mind, knew confidential information about Valerie Wilson and willfully leak classified information of a CIA covert, Valerie Wilson, information that is not known to the public or the reporters. This is not a case of misrecollection or recalling information. This is about lies and misleading the investigators. This case will show the defendant, I. Lewis Libby, worked to pass along and get the information out Valerie Wilson’s covert identity to as many reporters as he can to silence Ms. Wilson’s husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, from his criticisms concerning his finding in Niger. Mr. Libby violated National Security and duty of trust placed in him. Mr. Libby violated National Security by telling lie after lie after lie to the investigators.
And of course,I know Fitz will have a great opening statement.
Hi JB's PJF
"Ah'l tellya what i'm gonna do"
A geezer can understand this, and knows that what he hears here is truth.
The artical on The Chain is really revealing. SPB has mentioned his powers more than once. I'm paying attention now, amd will henceforth call the Iraq debacle an occupation.
One thing that I won't do though is to miss a chance that bash the poor excuse for a human bean "George W Bush".
Stay the surge
Trial decorum order by Walton
ORDER as to I. LEWIS LIBBY granting the following individuals access to the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse 24 hours a day/7 days per week from the date of the Order until the conclusion of the trial of this matter: Patrick Fitzgerald, Peter Zeidenberg, Kathleen Kedian, Debra Bonamici, Debbie Bond, Gerard Francisco, Jared Richards, Katie Hance, Bonnie Hansen, and Harry Brady.

Fitz should use names to describe the defendants such as "Gerbil" "Lickerman" and of course "Scrotum".
"Fitz should use names to describe the defendants such as "Gerbil" "Lickerman" and of course "Scrotum".
LOL! Now, that would be hysterical if Fitz ever used those names in court. I can see it now:
Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, the little soldier, Irve, is hosed. The evidence that little Irve will show is worthless, laughable, and on life support. The nanny boo boo and Gilligan's defense won't work. Hang the baby cojones and call it day. I need a vacation. Peace out!

What ever happened in the murder of Ray Lemme? Wise up America.
"I'm curious to know - what is your take on them?"
Patriot Girl:
My take on the two bloggers that will cover Irve's trial: Roy O’ Connor and the OTB freelancer. Notice that Robert Cox are buddies with these two bloggers. So, Cox made sure that his buddies got into cover the trial for "public awareness of court proceedings." The only problem is that I went to both blogs. They both cover various topics going on the country but neither one of them covered the entire Libby case and CIA Leak case from the beginning to end. So, readers on their blog may not grasp their knowledge of this case and the players involved in the case or their take on both prosecution and defense strategies since they didn't followed the case from the beginning. FDL is the only blogsite that has followed this case from the beginning. And they have Christy to thanks who worked with Fitz and is an attorney who understand this case, procedures of the law, and knows Fitz's work for the longest. FDL has a lot more creditabilty than those two conservative bloggers. Let's not forget Marcy Wheeler of Last Hurrah and Swopes from Needlenose. But, I am glad that the bloggers are given a chance to shine and make the T.V. media and journalists look like idiots. That's my 2 cents.
Bloggers' Credentials Boosted With Seats at the Libby Trial
By Alan Sipress
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, January 11, 2007; Page D01
When the trial of Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice opens next week, scores of journalists are expected to throng the federal courtroom in Washington, far too many for the 100 seats set aside for the media.
But for the first time in a federal court, two of these seats will be reserved for bloggers.
After two years of negotiations with judicial officials across the country, the Media Bloggers Association, a nonpartisan group with about 1,000 members working to extend the powers of the press to bloggers, has won credentials to rotate among his members.
The trial of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the highest-ranking Bush administration official to face criminal charges, could "catalyze" the association's efforts to win respect and access for bloggers in federal and state courthouses, said Robert Cox, the association's president.
Go to Washington Post for rest of story.
Were they able to tell or did they say if any CIA agents or SF were killed because they leaked Valerie's name? I've heard many were killed and then heard one which even being in the position of being in danger is unthinkable because someone needs to cover their asses.

Christy from FDL and Marcy Wheeler of the Next Hurrah got seats. I didn't see a mention to Needlenose. I know that Needlenose works closely with FDL and the Next Hurrah. I am sure that those blog sites will work together since there were limited amount of seats. I's unsure about Jason. I emailed him. I haven't heard back. That would be too bad if he wasn't covering this case since he writes very good article. If not, I know that it would be because of that article that he wrote in which Rove was indicted and gotten some much backlash from it.

-----------------------------------
The Architect of Mr. Bush's Plan
One of the key architects of President Bush's disastrous Iraq war policy was responsible for writing the president's new plan calling for an increase in US troops in the region.
By relying on the recommendations of neoconservative scholar Frederick Kagan, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, on what steps the White House should take to address the civil war between Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq, President Bush has once again ignored the advice of career military officials and even some Republican lawmakers - many of whom in recent weeks have urged Bush to resist implementing a policy that would result in escalating the war - and instead has chosen to rely on the proposals drafted by hawkish, think-tank intellectuals that could very well backfire and end up embroiling the United States in an even bloodier conflict.
Two weeks later, Kagan published "Choosing Victory: A Plan for Success in Iraq," the AEI white paper that recycled his public statements and columns from 2005 that were highly critical of Rumsfeld's post-war planning. Like the January 28, 2005, letter he sent to Congress and the Senate, the 47-page report called for sending more troops into the region to combat the violence between Sunnis and Shiites - which ultimately would ensure the war would continue to rage for at least two years.
Ultimately, President Bush agreed with Kagan, and used the key recommendations of his study as the foundation for his new Iraq policy - a policy that even some staunch pro-war Republicans have distanced themselves from.
Great article by Jason Leopold.

Here's a quote from the true Axis of Evil:
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
This is from a true criminal that some Americans still follow. Yes the elected officials that who support Bush are being paid and have had favors given to them. Yet the American people that follow are following the actiions of Satan.

Patriot Girl:
According to email corespondence with Jason, the information from Rove is true according to his sources. These sources were the same sources for many of his articles that he written about the CIA leak. But, as Jason pointed out, something happened in the weeks about Rove that changed Fitz's mind. And he hope Fitz will answer that question for Jason. Jason got a lot of backlash and at that time he was in a total depression. But, I still believe in those sealed document is Rove. And my bet is the other sealed document is Cheney. And this depends on what Cheney says on the stand.. But, I think that the sealed document is probably Fitz' ace to play.. But, he has to see how each person plays out on the stand.
Here is more information about the bloggers who were chosen to cover the Libby trial:
Blogging access will be restricted to members of the Media Blogging Association, a trade group that provides legal advice and promotes increased access for its 1,000 members.
Cox said the association has about 12 bloggers set to cover the trial -- some with a liberal perspective and some with a conservative one.
Bloggers likely will file reports throughout the day from an overflow room that will be set up with wireless Internet service, although like other media outlets they will be prohibited from transmitting video or audio of the trial.
Blogger Jason Leopold, writing for the left-leaning blog truthout.org, reported last May that White House top political adviser Karl Rove had been indicted as part of the investigation and planned to resign.
Rove's lawyer said no indictment had been served, and several weeks later said Rove was cleared by Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.
Leopold is not a member of the Media Bloggers Association, Cox said.
Good Evening,
On my way out to a vigil...
Mr. President, this war is over
Instead of giving speeches on new strategies for victory, and sending off another contingent of hapless Americans into the fires of Iraq, the president would have been wiser to declare the American mission is over, and presented a plan for the gradual withdrawal of U.S. forces.

Update on Tim Johnson:
Statement from the Office of Senator Johnson
Thursday, January 11, 2007
Washington, DC— The office of U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) released the following:
Senator Tim Johnson has been transferred to the in-patient rehabilitation unit at The George Washington University Hospital where he will be participating in aggressive therapy. "Yesterday, Senator Johnson underwent an MRI which showed that his speech centers were spared of injury. This is confirmed by the fact that he is following commands and has started to say words," said Vivek Deshmukh, MD, neurosurgeon.
Doctors say it is common for there to be a delay in speech returning as the blood is reabsorbed after the initial hemorrhage.
Johnson is currently being weaned off the tracheostomy tube that remains in his neck.
"The fact that Tim is beginning to use words is remarkable as is his strength and determination. He even maintains his sense of humor when I share emails about his grandsons' adventures," said Barb Johnson, wife of Senator Tim Johnson.
Quote from an intoxicated Scott Cassidy during arrest:
"Cassidy was quoted in police reports as saying, “I will own you Joliet hillbillies!”
Too bad you can't watch Cook County Board meetings, it is the best Reality TV on. They can really solve their budget problems by getting on Network TV and selling themselves as Reality TV.
Never a dull moment with politicians in Cook County/Chicago, just when you think it's illegal they have found a legal loophole.
OK, What the . . .
"Blogging access will be restricted to members of the Media Blogging Association, a trade group that provides legal advice and promotes increased access for its 1,000 members."
Since when did blogging become an elite clique? Screw that. Blogging should be the *last* place for any organized junk.
Jackie, what's that about some reporter writing about Fitz's "loins?" That was just over the top.
BTW--If you all don't hear from me for a while (some you all do say you miss me here and there), I'm running for political office where I live. The usual corruption is more than I can take right now. I've got a deadline on the paperwork I've got to file.

Folks, this is great article by John Dean, former White House chief of staff to Nixon
And here is something that Dean says:
Suppose the 110th Congress does find itself being stonewalled by Bush and Cheney's claims of executive privilege. Does it then have no recourse?
Absolutely not: There is still a powerful option. Congress can take the issue to the public, and make a public case that Bush and Cheney are obstructing the legitimate operations of Congress by withholding vital information - thus ratcheting up the political pressure on the Administration. If Congress' evidence is strong enough, the Administration, though it may keep on withholding information, will incur a high cost for its unreasonable secrecy - and the Republicans may well pay that cost at the ballot box in 2008.

I was on last night--more fun to go to meetings in person and give public comment, and be on TV. Some developer must have some folks on the take, well, duh. Anyway, I started my rant with "Democracy does not exist here . . ."
Someone, please, if you all see me blogging in the next few months, kick my ass off the computer and send me out to go talk to the people.

Nothing you can say,

From my FOX guys.
Nothing you could do,

I can tell you from the start,
I can't be torn apart from my FOX guys.
Nothing you could do,
Could make me be untrue,
To my FOX guys.
(My FOX guys)
Nothing you could buy,
Could make me tell a lie,
To my FOX guys
(My FOX guys)
I gave my FOX guys,
My word of honour,
To be faithful,
And I'm gonna,
You'd better be believing,
I won't be deceiving,

I hope everyone is signing those petitions to stop this escalation of war.
Did it today. My own signing statement...( :
Hi JB's
I hope everyone is ok. I watched some of the way forward stuff on the telly, but it allmost made me hurl. George was looking pretty despondent and rightfully so. It would be worth no amount of money to be in his shoes in these days. He asked for it though, when he told Micky Herkowitz that he wanted to be the War President in 1999, and that he wanted to go to war with Iraq. Every president who was somebody, was famous because he was a presiden’t during a war. yep…Dubya got his wish. All it took was a bunch loonies from the PNAC, and the sacrifice of the World Trade Center.
And…Here he is, a mentally challenged and incompetent excuse for a human bean, trying to be the commander in chief of the most powerful country on the planet, and with a bunch of advisers and script writers, that could very well be from another part of the universe. If you don’t believe me take a good look at Paul Wolfowitz and Condoleeza Rice.
As everybody knows…Allmost every government position is filled with a member or affiliate of the PNAC. Anyhoo Dubya can’t speak worth a damn, so they had to rig him up with a few high tech devices so it would look like he could. He avoids press conferences like the plague, because that requires thought, even when using his hearing device. There are too many times that he doesn’t understand the word, and sometimes he obviously waits too long between sentences.
Anyway, it’s just about over for Dubya. If we can’t get him impeached he will probably lose it anyway. It’s really a sad affair, but I have zero sympathy for him. He is in the wrong place at the wrong time because he wanted to be there, and the whole planet is in danger because of what was done for oil, money, and power.
Evening JB's,
I did my bit at the vigil-good turnout, there were a couple of new military families there.
Way to go Night Owl! We need more like you in office. Keep us posted
Condi shame on you little ms trollop lol
Geezer I think they have to drag Bubba outta the holler drunk to find someone with a good word to say about Dubya heehee
I can relate on the blogging Stephanie and Nightowl, I'm thinking about giving it up. I feel like I have done my share of public service announcements:-)
Geez.
He only became Prez as it was a good step forward to be Baseball Comissioner.

Hi Geezer!
Yes, you are so correct on everything!
The PNAC evildoers should be investigated!
I believe Americans are so sick and tired of the corruption, lies, scandals and dishonesty this administration has brought upon this great nation!
However, the new Dem Congress is chipping away at the wrong doings.
I have faith that justice will come to all those who have done wrong to this country and Iraq!
Just sing along with me you hussy!
I got punched in the gut enough today already!
S-Q you sing along too dammit! I'm getting mad!
http://condiriceisangry.com/
LOL! Condi... I haven't heard the word "hussy" in ages! Cracked me up! Must the entertainment for tonight! Tanks for your song Condi. I'll put in a good word to Simon.
Thanks Nan for your kind words. Dean's article was just awesome.

Looks like Dubya's hitting the sauce today, while Condy is taking heavy flack from both the house and the senate. I was just watching on PBS News Hour. Condy had some heavy scowls going. maybe she will resign soon...heeheehe
Geez Condi, back in the good ole days a gal like you just got her number written on the bathroom wall-you know "for a good time call...

Checking in for a quick note to:
Fitzie,
Justice Bloggers have you in their thoughts and prayers in the days before the trial and throughout it.
May the Luck & Skill of the Irish be with you as you face the Pookas in court.
God bless you and your team!

Sorry bout that Connie, all your legalized spying isn't doing much for my love life either hehe
Anon10:25 good post about that dubya you were'nt kiddin' when AWOL fly-boy was 13 playing golf at the CC
Even if he loses, his friends say, he doesn't lose. He'll just change the score, or change the rules, or make his opponent play until he can beat him. "If you were playing basketball and you were playing to 11 and he was down, you went to 15," says Hannah, now a Dallas insurance executive. "If he wasn't winning, he would quit. He would just walk off.... It's what we called Bush Effort: If I don't like the game, I take my ball and go home. Very few people can get away with that." So why could George get away with it? "He was just too easygoing and too pleasant."
That must have been before he quit drinking
Geezer that pic! *LOL* :-D
t
''That must have been before he quit drinking''
Actually, he might still be drinking. That's why he is still gambling.
What is it with Condi anyway, she always seems like she is on the make. Is she that man hungry or she is trying to convince people she isn't gay? What was that British man that she was flirting around with and it made all the gossip?
Maybe it's just because she is so flippant about all these people dying, like she was about the airplanes flying into buildings when she knew it already and did nothing. She should resign like the rest of the Bushco. losers. Shoe shop or play the piano, didn't bother her before when people were drowning or getting blown up or shot.

Did the President Declare "Secret War" Against Syria and Iran?
01/11/07 sounds like number that an evil person might declare a secret war if they were from an evil secret society and cabal.
Condi is an oreo cookie. One minute Condi acts black when her man, Bush, needs the black vote or needs the blacks in his corner in his own agenda and the next minute she treats her own kind like they have AIDS and she can't recall that she is black. She just brush off her family photos and display that for photo-ops and hides the Bush family photos in the closet. and she did show her true colors when she went shoe shopping and didn't give a rat's ass when her own people were drowning and dying in Hurricane Katrina. Condi, you can't deny your race anytime the wind blows.
If President Bush decided that all blacks in this country are being shipping back to Africa and Condi is no use to him or the Bush family, her incompetent butt is on that boat too, Farragamo shoes and all!
Ahhh...So you know about our plan to conquer all of Africa and make me Empress Condileeza the First?
Hi, guys. Long day. Good postings on here tonight. Enjoyed reading them.
T, I hope you and Steph don't stop blogging. I would miss your input.
Love the Condi jokes.
How is everyone tonight?
Well...Harry Belafonte once said that there are two kinds of slaves. The ones who work in the fields and those that worked in the house. "Colin Powell and Condaleeza rice are house slaves. Those weren't his exact words though.
"Ahhh...So you know about our plan to conquer all of Africa and make me Empress Condileeza the First?"
And may your outer skirts be free from chitlin juice drippings!
*lol*
Nighty night...

I knew this would happen now a US Embassy has be bombed. We invaded the Iran Embassy illegally now we are open to attack by everybody. Each international law that Bush breaks will happen to the United States. Look for Al Sadr to keep control of his area. Even Senator Graham had to admit on PBS that the Iraq people don't' support Maliki.

I just heard it on Air America. They said it is the same as attacking the country.

Christian, just look how far the nigerian 419 went- to Holinger and the CIA! If you still watch the blog, no I won't be at any trials, and yes, they caught the guy on the run with the pistol by my house by manhunt. No, they won't tell me anything. Christian, they found out my bluff my dear and it's just a matter of time, so I'll be sending in a few more documents to Fitz and bolting for Amsterdam soon. Bloggers, take good care of Fitz if I do have to go. The next state over isn't going to be far enough for this peice of truth. Bye guys, Sarah

Hi, Patriot girl. Can't wait to hear about the trial.
Mr.Fitzgerald, good luck next week. I know the US will be very well represented.
"I wrote Truthout to ask them to repost "Mr. Fitzgerald Calling" as a daily feature since the trial is up and coming."
Patriot Girl:
Excellent idea. I should have mention that in an email that I sent to Jason.. You are on the ball...
