It’s A Wrap
As the Year of the Fire Dog prepares to trot off, wagging its oblivious tail and bearing its friendly, sloppy grin for another twelve year jaunt through the cosmos, I am making a note to leave 2018 open. Should I be graced with life the next time a Year of the Dog comes bounding into view, I believe I’ll find it far more bearable with nothing too important on the schedule, as opposed to this waning year, when I’ve been stymied at every turn. So, goodbye Dog, and good luck.

This is news? Today the State Department confirmed, though Dr. Rice has no recall of the fact, that CIA Director George Tenet briefed her as National Security Advisor on the Al Qaeda threat in a meeting on July 10, 2001.

Well And Truly F*cked
President George W. Bush came one step closer today to wielding the power to undo nearly 800 years of human progress with the stroke of a pen.

The Fall of the House of Bush
Pick your favorite falling soundtrack — Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’”comes to mind — and watch. Also great in glorious quietude. Over and over.
