OT: Hoorah! Peace in out time! (well, phew!)
John Mosby (Out&About)
Terrorist Just By Bugging His House') has just handed in a five page
resignation later, stating the reasons for departure as his own amazing
success (unsure if this is the same 'catastrophic success' or a new
version):
"The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has
been achieved..." he exclaimed to a grateful nation.
(presumably police and soldiers will now march on Washington fearing for
their jobs, which... ironically would probably need them to employ
themselves for security measures?)
Before heading to his mothership he told his boss: "While the promise of
your second term shines bright, I have concluded with deep regret that it is
time for me to return home."
Ignoring the ascerbic spin I've added, hard to believe all the above is
true. But it is.

former second in commnd, a black man, to the post, to keep some color in the
cabinet. (This makes me even more certain that Colin Powell is leaving.)

It's reported now that Alberto Gonzales will take over the AG spot ... and
from what I read in the MSBNC report, he's not an improvement. He wrote that
"it's okay to torture prisoners" memo, and his position that it's okay to
detain "certain terrorism suspects for extended periods without access to
lawyers or courts" is already being knocked down by the courts. I reckon if
GWBush wants the next 4 years to be full of battles with the courts, he's
got his man.
Same old, same old...

Hadn't heard that--so, I'm thinking that someone named Alberto Gonzales will
also contribute to the "diversification" of the Bush cabinet...

Yeah, apparently *if* confirmed, he'd be the first Hispanic in that role.

Shame ole Alberto isn't female ... he'd get double points on the
diversification-o-meter.

Hispanics, in general, haven't had high profiles in any recent adminstrations,
have they? (Dem or Rep.) I'll give Bush credit for that...
I realize now who Gonzales is--he's the man whose appointment to a higher court
has been stuck in congressional committee for a couple years.

Most of us over here like America.
Some of us over here love Americans.
But the Animal Farm decisions and strategies like the ones formulated and
set rolling by the likes of Ashscroft and Gonzales are the ones that make
the rest of the world distrust the current administration's 'Do as we say,
don't do as we do' policy.

Only because Bill Richardson never changed his name to Gonzalez or
Chavez. I'm sure when he began his political career, having a generic
name was a bonus. These days, it probably works against him.
