The Grand Recall Ball

 


 

"Yes, we took a big hit in the California Recall. We will be okay and we still have much to look forward to: perp walks in the Wicked White Palace Rose Garden and West Palm Beach; a third regime change in Iraq since the mission was declared accomplished; The Democratic Candidates have a year to prove their mettle and Bush to beat up in the process; Al Gore is about to roar with a new television network for liberals; but wait, there's more ... we still have Michael Moore, that should even up the score." - Anita Beer hungover and rambling.

The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

Rumsfeld is sounding more and more like  Bush.  Keep 'em confused and stupid.


 

Mom , apple pie , and espionage - - the Valerie Wilson story 

An unassuming CIA operative is unmasked
By Richard Leiby and Dana Priest, Washington Post, 10/9/2003

WASHINGTON -- When Valerie Wilson -- maiden name Plame -- introduced herself to a reporter in her home on July 3, there was no hint she was anything other than a busy mother with an unflagging smile and classy wardrobe. She talked about the joys and challenges of twins, then faded into the background.

One might have thought her to be a financial manager, maybe a real estate agent -- but never a spy. Few knew her secret: At 22, Plame had joined the Central Intelligence Agency and traveled the world on undercover missions....

Europe vs. Bush

KRONBERG, Germany -- Say this for European critics of President Bush's invasion of Iraq: Shocked and awed they are not.

The guerrilla campaign in Iraq's Sunni Triangle is spawning political insurgencies in the United States and abroad. Many of those who lost the long, contentious debate about going to war have shifted to small-scale harrying actions aimed at crippling a presidential behemoth over time.

Even with Arnold's win he will have a tough time ahead. All his executive posts are headed up by Democrats, and the assembly and house have Democratic Majorities. Having been brought up in Hollywood I would never vote for a Movie Star.

Orion Nebula: Found along the sword of Orion just north of the bright Orion Nebula complex, these nebulae are also associated with Orion's giant molecular cloud which lies about 1,500 light-years away, but are dominated by the characteristic blue color of interstellar dust reflecting light from hot young stars. In this sharp color image a portion of the Orion Nebula appears along the bottom border with the cluster of reflection nebulae at picture center. (NASA)
