Born on the day.....

The Senate voted 97-3 against Russ Feingold's resistance to the Patriot act

Senator Roberts announced the "delay" of hearings into the massive illegal wiretap programs.

The Kenedy County Sheriff "cleared" Cheney of any criminal culpability in shooting a 78 year old man in the face a few hours after using alcohol. The Sheriff was so confident there was nothing to be seen that he didn't go out to look until eighteen hours later.

Those "missing" emails Special Prosecutor Fitgerald did not receive are "found" in the office of Bush's long-time personal counsel, Attorney General Gonzales.

Bush and Gonzales flunkies say there is no reason to recuse Gonzales from any investigatons into Bush's criminal wiretaps.



So it seems like a good day to start blogging on the slouch to Empire.

If the destination doesn't sound good to you, either - welcome.

Let's change course.

All respect, admiration, and props to William Shirer, his keen eye, and epic Berlin Diary.

I can't aspire (or pretend) to his gifts.

I do hope these Diaries have a better ending - for us and the world.
