“Ohaiyoo Gozaimasu”

Today is like a grey reminder that yesterday’s sun was simply a tease. “ha ha ha” says the weather, “and you thought more was to come!” For me it’s no biggie. I’m used to dampening the bottom of my tee-shirt with the rain that collects on glasses; I’m used to rolling up the bottom of my pants so as not to get them dirty and damp; I’m used to wearing a black fleece like it was a second skin; Ultimately, I’m used to drinking coffee like it’s some Nor’ westerner elixir… (well isn’t it?)

By now everyone has heard that Lewis “Scooter” Libby was convicted and faces 25 yrs imprisonment. Well R. U. Surprised? I’m not. Who do you think was supposed to go down? Rove? Ha! What’s important here anyway? How about the fact that NO ONE WAS CHARGED WITH LEAKING THE NAME?! Yeah… Oddly enough I thought the President said< “the one who done it is go’n 2 git it!” … Well nobody is fooled. Even one juror came out and said most of ’em thought Scooter (btw what the hell is up with that nickname?) was a fall man for a bigger scheme. Perhaps so.

Well now that this boondoggle is over we can now get to the bigger and better stuff like Bush’s eavesdropping on overseas phone calls! Oh… I guess we forgot about that ‘eh?
