Fritzmas Eve!!

Well, what we've all been waiting for is nearly here. Tomorrow is the last day that the PlameGate Grand Jury is scheduled to be empaneled. Since nothing else has been heard, we can only surmise that tomorrow is Fitzmas. Therefore, this has got to be Fitzmas Eve. It's enough to keep you wide awake all night waiting for jolly old Fitz to come down the chimney and deposit the goddamned gifts already.

Have been busy for a couple of days touristing. Did a tour of a part of the Boeing plant. They take you through the 747 assembly area. It was great to get back in there and see how manufacturing has improved since last I was there. Definitely something all should get a chance to see.

Today we went through the Museum of History and Industry. It recalls the history of Seattle and all the major players. It only takes a couple of hours to go through it, and they have done a superb job of keeping you looking around the corners. One of those places for people with a history gene.

It will be interesting to see who President Bush will nominate for the SCOTUS now that Harri has pulled the plug on her nomination. Interesting that it was the right who did her in. I find it quite satisfying to see them eating their own. What bothers me is that the replacement may turn out to be what the Fundies want. That is a scary proposition. Perhaps a stark raving lunatic in the Senator Brownback (KS), Pat Robertson mold.YIKES!!!

Now we hear that Cheney and Libby withheld documents from a House panel...against the advise of WH staff. This just gets better everyday. Is there some kind of play at work here though? It's hard to beleive that an old player like Cheney would step into that particular pile. Stranger things have happened, but it sure seems odd. There are way too many conspiracy theories for me to want to participate. So, I'll stick for now with a stupid mistake.

What the hell is with all of the stories about Shrub treating his lower level staff like shit. Had heard rumors about it for a couple of years, but they now seem to be coming from inside. With him not being able to take responsibility for his own actions, I guess it was inevitable that he would turn on those inside when things started downhill.
