I have to say I feel very blessed to be living in the USA and prospering well enough to be very content.

Tomorrow I will be looking forward to the 75 degree temperature and a nice 60 mile ride.

It will be that more wonderful once the Bush Criminal Syndicate "expires" or more appropriately is "removed" from office for high crimes (perjury, among others) Don't bother posting a reply because, alas, I won't be able to read it as you were put on my ignore list a couple of weeks ago. Cornmufinconerr displays more decorum than you

He probably doesn't have many friends because every conversation devolves into a political rant by Wurm. He won't really ignore you. He takes you off the list to read your posts then it a pitiful attempt to be witty puts you back on the ignore list and makes some asinine statement like "ain't technology wonderful" or "best feature on the internet".

If Wolfix is on your ignore list, why are you now replying to him?

I guess you dim bulbs don't understand satire and irony, and plain old sarcasm. FYI bikeybwoi, the "occupation" in my profile is similar to the quip under my avatar, both are a crack against the Bushistas. DUH.

But then, you never were the sharpest saw in the tool shed, were you?

Yes, in fact I turned a spare storage room into a playroom for my kid, but obviously this gang of Keystone Cops isn't capable of comprehending that possibility either.

Next brilliant deduction? *yawn*

Yeah .... The ignore button is to insure themselves that they only read what they want to read and just the stuff that agrees with them...
I've never been much of an NRA supporter, even though I did love my guns I used for bird hunting in the past. I am not much of a fan of the NRA.
No "hemi" in my driveway.... And the only stickers I have on any vehicles is just a Campagnolo oval and a USCF one in the back window of my 1986 BMW with 35,000 actual miles..... My baby....
Typical liberal though ..... When things heat up,they run. They always try and use emotion to get people riled up, instead of facts and reality.

I find liberals amusing. Amusing because they really are not all effective in the real world as far as law-making, capitolism, and leaders in society. They love to blame government for everything and yet they are the ones who scream for the government when someone disagrees with what agenda they push. And I love it when they start screaming "fascism" and "nazi's" , yet they are the ones who want to implement govt control over everyones life. They think that they can control the playing field of life. They don't seem to understand that opportunity is only guaranteed at birth, and not a guaranteed outcome.
Of course, most liberals grow out of it about the time they move into the workforce. People stop paying attention to them when there are no longer any freshman who think they are cool because they are 28 years old and hanging out in college bars.....

Just as long as they possibly can, or until someone or most of them are forced from office or jailed.

Too bad these hypocrites can't live up to their self-proclaimed "personal responsibility", "family values", and "bringing dignity back to the White House" pablum.

Thumbs up Congressman Want Cheney to Testify

Three senior members of the House have refused to look aside. And, while it may be the case that Cheney will disregard their request, the American people are unlikely to be so dismissive. Polls show that, by a wide majority, Americans think the vice president has been less than forthcoming with regards to his actions, and that they want answers from Cheney about the Wilson case and all of the issues it has raised.

Here is the letter that asks for those answers:

Dear Mr. Vice President:

In response to significant public scrutiny, President Gerald R. Ford came to Capitol Hill on October 17, 1974 to testify before the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Criminal Justice on why he pardoned President Richard M. Nixon. At the time of President Ford's appearance before Congress, you served as his Deputy Chief of Staff and later became his Chief of Staff. With that precedent in mind, we respectfully request that you make yourself available to appear before Congress to explain the details and reasons for your office's involvement -- and your personal involvement - in the disclosure of Valerie Wilson's identity as a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative.

Last week, your former Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was indicted for committing perjury and obstructing the investigation of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald into the disclosure of Valerie Wilson's identity. According to the indictment, you and members of your office were involved in discussions about Valerie Wilson and her work for the CIA. In fact, the indictment alleges that you personally informed Mr. Libby that Valerie Wilson worked in the CIA's Counterproliferation Division and that you had learned this information from the CIA.

It is extremely important with regard to the maintenance of the integrity of our democratic republic that the full and complete truth of this matter be made available to the American people. Unfortunately, doubts and questions will continue to grow until the nation learns the complete story behind the leak of Valerie Wilson's identity. There are many wide-ranging questions about your involvement with the disclosure of Valerie Wilson's identity to which the American people deserve answers, including:

· Why were you and other officials in your office investigating Valerie Wilson's employment with the CIA?

· Did you authorize Mr. Libby to disclose Valerie Wilson's identity to the news media? Were you aware that he was doing so?

· At the time of the leak, Valerie Wilson's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, had been publicly questioning the Administration's claim that Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger, which had been used as a primary justification for war. At the time of the leak, did you believe the claim that Iraq had sought uranium from Niger was true? When did you first learn that the uranium claims were untrue? Was the disclosure of Valerie Wilson's identity an attempt to discredit her husband and what he had been saying about the uranium claims being false?

· When you learned that the leak had occurred, did you investigate whether any members of your staff were responsible for this act? If so, when did you do so and what were your findings? Do you think that those involved with the leak should be allowed to maintain their security clearances?

We therefore encourage you to follow the example of your former boss, President Ford, by testifying before Congress. Openness and sunshine are the best way to restore public trust that the White House is operating ethically, efficiently, and in compliance with rules protecting national security.

Sincerely,

Maurice Hinchey Henry Waxman John Conyers, Jr.

I'm sure it'll end up being just a mere formality for posterity that Conyers & Co. sent that letter. The Dick will ignore it as usual, and take his chances with the GOP's protecting his criminal ass in Congress and the courts.
