TGIF

Happy Friday, y'all. Glad it is finally here. The sick guys around here are wearing me down. Son is home again today trying to shake the bug he has. Making an appointment for him tomorrow with the doctor just to be on the safe side.

Watched some C-Span yesterday afternoon while Karen Hughes was testifying before the House foreign affairs committee. She was great, as usual. So well-spoken and thoughtful. Even the usual suspects who normally slander the administration on a daily basis were impressed with her. Except, Barbara Lee (D-California) but what do you expect from the only member of the House to not vote for the ouster of Saddam Hussein. Her soulmate, I suppose. She looked particulary foolish talking about "lies" and "misleading" in the run up to the war in Iraq.

I congratulate these democratic senators for supporting Lindsey Graham's (R-S.C.) amendment to specify the "rights" of enemy combattants scooped up on the battlefield - Wyden (D-OR), Leiberman (R-CT), Landrieu (D-LA), Conrad (D-ND), and Nelson (D-NE). These republican senators voted against the amendment - Chaffee (R-RI), Sununu (R-NH), Smith (R-OR), and Spector (R-PA). To say that enemies on the battlefield should have the same legal rights in a CIVILIAN Federal Court as any American citizen does is reprehensible. These republicians need a sharp smack of reality. The democrats are to be congratulated for bucking their party line voter comrades.

Have you seen the new commercial on Kurdistan? Fantastic. If that doesn't bring a smile to your face, I don't know what it takes to make you happy. It's Veteran's Day. Thank a Veteran for the freedom we all tend to take for granted.

Hubby getting ready to go to a "Stan" country later in the month for a client. Not Kurdistan, though! Not yet, anyway!

Now that it is back into the 80's outside here, my ac is running non-stop again. Yuk. Next week we may really get a cold front move through, according to the local weather guesser. That would be nice...
