here's hoping...

What opened the final crack in the Nixon regime? The disclosure of the secret taping system, that revealed a treasure-trove of corruption. We may be on the verge of a deja vu - read this.

It's hard to view the multiple email accounts in any light other than a deliberate plan to circumvent the public records law. Susan Ralston's email to Abramoff admitted exactly that.

So many laws broken, so much silence about this.

Why? Occam's Razor says that the people with the capacity to make an issue of the Bushies criminality are better off with them still in power, than with them tossed out and held accountable for their crimes.

Someone on Thom Hartmann's radio show this morning posed an explanation that is reasonable for me. Bush can't commit the US to an Iraq withdrawal until the Iraq Congress finishes work on the pending law, that hands the greatest share of the oil revenus to Exxon/Mobile and BP.

Once that step is finalized, Bush will truly have his 'Mission Accomplished' moment, and can gracefully leave center stage, confident that he has done his duty.

Meanwhile, Karl Rove is to appear in Portland on Friday. I don't know the details yet, but Thom Hartmann said he will be attending, not to confront. Seems like an opportunity to make a statement.


Finally (says Mr. Language Curmudgeon), an eHarmony ad on the radio this morning had the sexy-voiced woman describing her interests, among which was her 'Internet web site'. Isn't that sort of like a 'Food grocery store', a 'Car gas station', or a 'Animal Veterinary Hospital'? Again, Occam's Razor says that, yes, the sound of the message is now more important than the meaning of the words.

As further proof of that, we have this.

I gotta go.
