Much Ado About Nothing

Good Morning. This is my second attempt to post this morning. I'll hope this goes through.

The breaking news this morning is Karl Rove will not be indicted. So three years after this investigation by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald began, Rove is free and clear. Despite the rush to judgement by the likes of Howard Dean and Harry Reid pronouncing Rove a criminal, Rove can get on with his life.

The Wall Street Journal had an op-ed in 2003 saying Lewis "Scooter" Libby was doing his job as chief of staff to V.P.Cheney by correcting false info by Joe Wilson, not leaking Valerie Plame's name to the press as a CIA agent. Wilson is out of the circles of power in D.C. and a bitter man. Boo-hoo, no one listens to me. He has been completely discredited by the Brits and by a bi-partisan senate committee. He was kicked off the Kerry campaign as he was exposed as the fraud he is.

Now Special Counsel Fitzgerald wants to use sources like the Wall Street Journal to make his case that Libby is guilty of lying to a Grand Jury. Not guilty of exposing Valerie Plame's identity as he was tasked with but lying abut facts in his questioning. Seems Fitzgerald, who both sides of the aisle praised upon his appointment, put his faith into the wrong side of this question.

President Bush is in Baghdad this morning. He made a surprise visit to the new Iraqi Prime Minister, al-Maliki, and to the troops to congratulate them on the successful mission taking out Zarqawi. Only V.P.Cheney, Sec. Rice and Sec. Rumsfeld knew of this trip as the president left last night in disguise on Air Force One, where the traveling press corp was given body armor on board.

A bad morning for the rabid left here. Despite the insane calling for retreat and withdrawal in Iraq by the likes of Murtha and Kerry and Kennedy, who all know better and solely seek to politicize the mission, the President of the U.S. is in the war zone congratulating the troops and telling the new government of Iraq we will not cut and run.

Robert C. Byrd, D-W.VA, is now the longest serving U.S. Senator, surpassing the record of the late Strom Thurman. Not bad for a former big shot in the KKK. Byrd, known for his legendary pork money to his state is running for his 9th term and expected to win.

The Federal government announced the deadline for housing subsidy for Katrina evacuees is extending another month. The new cutoff date is the end of July.

Last week an article appeared in the Houston Chronicle about the Essence Music Festival being held here instead of New Orleans as it normally is. They have partnered up with Chevrolet to build a Habitat for Humanity house for a woman, an evacuee, and her 16 year old daughter. They will move into the new house early this fall. This woman expressed her gratitude for all the opportunities presented to her here. These opportunities for a better life were not in New Orleans, her lifelong city of residence.

This is the message Bill Cosby brought to the evacuees last August. Take advantage of every opportunity presented to you and your children for a beter life. This is the message Barbara Bush brought and was ridiculed for - they will have it better than they ever had. And the indignation that Mrs. Bush was honest with them? How insensitive of this rich, old white woman. Idiots.

"We stand with you." - President George W. Bush to Iraq Prime Minister al-Maliki 6/13/06

I saw the breaking news of his trip while at the vet with Max. Bush didn't put on any body armor, just the press. Of course if they don't change their ways of opinionated reporting they may need it, not only there but here as well.

Max is doing well. He always does his little hooting sounds all the way there but after his treat and pill and loving by the helpers, he is quiet and content on the way home.

I noticed something to file for future reference. One section of the vet was for dermatology and allergy treatments. In the hour we were there at least five Shiz Tzu's came in. That breed must have a propensity to skin diseases.

Blogger is being a BEAR this morning!

Watching the news conference right now. The press will never change their ways of opinionated reporting.

I am such a pessimist this morning.
