How the Bushies Work:

For a glimpse at how the Bush administration works, take a look at Salon.com's excerpt from testimony by former Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey to the Senate Judiciary Committee, entitled "The hospital room showdown."


Wolfie Dashes for the Sunset:

World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, one of the chief architects of Bush's Iraqi adventure that has led to the deaths and maiming of countless people, has finally resigned from his position at the World Bank after days of intensive negotiations. Wolfie wanted to leave without being prosecuted for filling the pockets of his lover.

NPR.org reports both his statement and the bank's directors' statement.

Rupert Murdoch Orders Fox To Make About Face:

Salon.com reports that Rupert Murdoch, the man who would control all of the world's information, has ordered "his entire empire" to go green. What's next? Al Gore running the network? The spin should provide lots of fodder for The Colbert Report.

What's Next for The Grand Ol' Party:

Bush and the Democratic leadership in congress have agreed on a plan to grant legal status to millions of people in the country unlawfully. Bush did say that he was a "uniter not a divider," but just what will this mean for the conservative party that has staked its claim to fame at least partly on keeping racism alive and well in the U.S.? No doubt this will just provide the current horde of presidential candidates in the Republican party another excuse to run away from their current leader.
