Abramoff and Bush...
Like Rogers and Astaire, like Gilbert and Sullivan, like Currier & Ives, like Ben & Jerry's...
4 new pics of Black Jack Abramoff with his buddy Bush have suddenly appeared, after the White House staff had assured us that they only had met twice (based on 2 previously release photos). Of course the Giant Corrupt Abramoff Lobbying Machine had nothing to do whatsoever with Junior Bush and his Giant Corrupt Administration.
And there's word now that Rove would secretly meet Abramoff on Washington street corners to avoid a paper trail of their meetings.
The plots thicken. And tomorrow is the day that Henry Waxman has indicated he wants all the Plame-related FBI interviews with Bush and Cheney. Interesting-er by the minute.

Assorted Thoughts
Well, I just typed for 15 minutes, spilling my proverbial guts, and a Blogger system error ate my post. Bastards!
So I'll try again, but this time more telegraphically.
PA primary OVER. Good. Good for Hill. Peeps gave her $$$. She's gonna need every centavo.
Gorgeous taste of summer today. 80. Sunny. Ate lunch outside.
Gas rocketing. Oil surging. Shortage of rye flour HERE, in the US of A. End of Western Civ? Feels like it. Hopefully not. Don't want Chimpy and Darth to cancel elections.
War rages on. Petraeus to Centcom. Odierno to head Iraq. More kids die daily.
Can November get here fast enough??????

Martin Luther King & 1968
I turn 50 this year. I was 9 when Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, 40 years ago today. Bobby Kennedy was murdered later that summer, soon after my birthday, another American tragedy. And my father died in between, an American hero on a much smaller scale, but a hero of mine in any case.
So thoughts of 1968 bring back many sad and strange memories for me. It really seemed like the entire world was crumbling around us, between the war and the violence in the streets and all the protests and civil unrest. Nixon resurgent, and the beginning of his reign of error.
40 years have gone by...and where are the protests? We have a war as heinous, if not more heinous, than Vietnam, if only because we should be so much wiser. We have lost many of our civil rights in the meantime, because we've allowed fearmerchants like Bush and Cheney and Rove to steal them in the night like so many petty thieves. We have more people in prison per capita than mainland China, and we torture people routinely in the name of national security.
And Bush is trying for his 3rd term, via the zombie corpse of McSurge.
We could use a Rev. King right about now. In fact, there probably hasn't been an American moment in the past 230 years where we couldn't have used a Martin Luther King.

Hyenas in Baghdad
Joe Sudbay makes a great point...
If things were going so well -- five years later -- why would Cheney need a surprise visit?
Cheney was so confident about being greeted as a liberator, why does he sneak into Iraq?
Why not announce the visit in advance so the Iraqis can plan the parade?
St. John McSurge is also skulking around the Green Zone with Lieberman and Lindsay Graham.
Flowers and chocolates, right? Five years, 4,000 American lives and 700 billion dollars later, and they are all still sneaking around like the hyenas in The Lion King.
