Not between Cheney, Rove, Libby, and, I dunno, Aeshma Daeva, the great fiend of ancient Persian myth.  I’m hoping the whole story of how a multi-millennia-old Iranian demon from the Avesta manipulated the Vice President’s office will be in the indictments tomorrow.

Oh, wait.  That was Ahmed Chalabi.  I get them confused sometimes.  Anyway.

Just pointing you again to the Center For Inquiry West and their performance space, the Steve Allen Theatre, with links permanently added down the left.

This might not seem germane to Harriet Miers and Karl Rove and so on.  But the Center For Inquiry is devoted to rational thought and the fight against lunatic theocracy, largely because it often leads to grand human disaster.

So, um, if you look around… it’s pretty darn germane.

Plus, they do stuff in the theatre space that makes me laugh.  So there’s that.

Apparently right-wingers under pressure begin using Title Case at the tops of their lungs.

Tom DeLay:

What would be even more aggravating than a multi-millionaire U.S. Senator winning the lottery?
Karl Rove gets a full pardon from George W. Bush
446   57%
Paris Hilton… just, y’know, keeps existing like that
222   28.4%
Donald Trump starts farting solid gold coins
71   9.1%
O.J. Simpson takes a divot and strikes oil
44   5.6%

Man, you guys really don’t like Paris Hilton: aparently she’s more than five times more aggravating just by being alive than a widely-believed-to-be double-knife-killer suddenly going all Beverly Hillbillies.

Fair enough.

OK, next question: how would Scottie McClellan and the right-wing noise machine spin things if some White House bigshot had been caught on camera holding up a liquor store with a machine gun?

New poll at upper left.

Missed this a couple of days ago… faced with the prospect that the
U.S. Congress might just decide that New Orleans (and America) needs
Interstate 10 just a teensy bit more than this town —

— needs a bridge comparable to the Golden Gate, Alaska’s brilliant
Senator Ted Stevens (R-Pork), actually announced that if Ketchikan
doesn’t get the bridge a lot of people there don’t even want, he would stamp his feetsies and resign in a huff.

So, um, that would be a two-fer.

Original post on the subject, with more details and a diagram of the proposed bridge here.

And for a look at the relative porkiness of various senators on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, go here and scroll down.  Stevens wins!
