Went back and caught up on yesterday's post. Was Bowman on fire, or what? You know, the only thing that gets to me about this is that there has been a bunch more attention focused on what in the end will go down as a silly hunting accident by a doddering old fool who didn't have the cajones to fess up than the reports of Dick authorizing Scooter to release classified info to bolster support for the war and Paul Pillar testifying that the gang who couldn't shoot straight went to war without requesting strategy level analysis of the Iraqi threat. I mean really, what should be on the front pages?
I think we're all using this as a bit of comedy relief to keep our sanity. We'll all get serious again soon. The story about Pillar made our local paper today, but not front page. (sadly)
Millions in Katrina aid squandered; Experts: Shooting is Cheney's fault; Area may see record low temperatures; Cops get sex in massage parlor sting; Mentally disabled young adults learn dating skills.
Maybe a good creative writer could find a story in there somewhere. :-)
Inside the paper was another ho-hum, typical Bush report, though, that never gets enough attention: "$1.6 BILLION spent to promote policies." Wow, and that's on top of the "news" they buy in Iraq, and the 24/7 free coverage by the "hair brigade" media types.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Wonder if Darth Cheney has sent his victim flowers?
Wonder if someone gave Cheney a heart for Valentine's Day?
Might have had a "donor" if his victim had died... ;)
Pogo - You're absolutely right. It just confirms that too many people have odd ideas about what constitutes news.

Hey, Leo. There might even be a movie in there. The "cops get sex" certainly has potential.
