Day: March 15, 2007

Huh. Imagine that.

The administration is starting to unravel under the weight of scandal after scandal finally being dragged out into the light of day. The Democrats have said that they plan on issuing a subpoena to Karl Rove, to get him testifying under oath….

And now the media is full of stories about how Khalid Sheik Mohammad has confessed to masterminding the 9/11 attacks.

HOLY CRAP! BIG NEWS!!! Stop the presses! Remember — they hate us for our Freedom, and the Bush administration is all that stands between you and the Islamofascist Horde!!!!11!!OMGWTF!!

Um….except that…..didn’t we already KNOW he was behind it? Wasn’t that why we went after his ass in Pakistan in the FIRST fucking place????

Jesus Christ. They think we’re idiots.

Democrats with subpoena power. That’s what it’s taken to get this crap out into the open. Expect more of it during the next two years, as the continual subversions of our Constitution by this administration finally come to light, since now whistle-blowers know that they won’t be swept under the rug by rubber-stamp Republican congressional co-conspirators.

I was going to type up an entry on why the US Attorney firing scandal is a big deal, but 1) I’ve got writing to do, and 2) somebody else has already done a brilliant summation. Go and read it.

(Yeah, I know, I should be writing. Shaddap.)

NASA has used high-resolution 3D images of the “Columbia Hills” region inside Mars’ Gusev Crater, taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to create this animation of a hypothetical flyover of the site where the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has been trundling about.

Verra nifty, especially in light of my immersion in things Martian as I come down the home stretch for release of our MARS RPG.
