Sunday ruminations

On Hillary's ability to recall a fake southern accent she never had to begin with:

You know, when I walk into the Oval Office in January of 2009, I'm afraid I'm going to lift up the rug and I'm going to see so much stuff under there."

Need we remind her what her husband reportedly did on the Oval Office seal? It's a good bet she won't find spent prophylactics and cigar butts, that's for sure.

As I write this there is a show on TLC about grotesquely fat people, like the thousand pound, can't get out the front door, can't even get to the front door kind of fat people. "I'm addicted to food", said one. Well, yeah, aren't we all. I confess to being addicted to water and sleep as well.

Regarding the notion of a global warming debate between Karl Rove, Laurie David and Sheryl Crow. C'mon. It's like me and a few strangers at a tractor pull debating string theory. But I do like this quote, from an exchange between Crow and Rove:

"You work for me," she told Rove, according to the Post column "The Reliable Source."

"No," was his response. "I work for the American people."

Laurie David is a notorious climate zealot and Al Gore enabler and Crow, well, I like a few of her songs but you have to wonder if the reason Rove went "0 to 100" and became "offended" had anything to do with her new perfume?

Who the devil cares--or has ever cared--about the president of the World Bank? Until now.

This wasn't the first time a fatal shooting has occurred at Virginia Tech. It happened five years ago, but turned out a little different, thanks to gun control. By the way, the mental image of Cho coming back to classrooms and shooting people he'd already shot is making me madder and madder.

Alberto Gonzales just hasn't been impressive. Gonzo may be gonezo soon. He should take a few politicians with him, like Reid, Schumer and Leahy.

Regards the Dave Gaubatz claim to have found the secret bunkers Saddam used to hide his WMDs, certainly some weird, wild stuff, especially in light of the "devastating" report soon to be released about how Bush fooled the press on Iraq prior to the invasion. The Cap'n has covered the logic as to why such a find couldn't be announced even if true, but it's interesting to note that Gaubatz has removed most of this stuff from his site.

Interesting also.. nothing on the Iraqslogger site. One might think Eason Jordan could have contacted some of his contacts from his salad days at CNN. Maybe he was too busy focusing on Lara Logan's sensational story about how the surge isn't working.

Nothing on Topix, either. But did you know a roadside bomb went off?

Gaubatz remains in the company of James Clapper, Georges Sada, and a few others who all believe the WMDs were carted off to Syria before the invasion with help from the Rooskies. Reality, or just tall tales and book sales?

Don't know, but it does seem intuitive that if Russia were involved there would be a total press blackout, either Bush-imposed or self-imposed. Heck, we haven't even found Izzat al-Duri, who reportedly carted himself off to Syria as well. Too bad Nancy Pelosi couldn't have made it her mission to find him--she might still be there.
