Bush’s Choice for DCIA

Bush’s nominee for the position of CIA director is Florida congressman Porter Goss, who used to be an operative himself.

What kind of director would he be?

Last year, in an interview with a Florida newspaper, Goss claimed that the uproar over the White House purposefully identifying a covert CIA agent (who just happened to be the wife of an outspoken critic of the Administration) was nothing more than partisan politics, and didn’t merit any kind of investigation at all. Never mind that knowingly blowing her cover was a felony…

Goss claimed that he didn’t think there was evidence to merit an investigation. When asked what sort of evidence would prompt him to consider investigation, he said:

“Somebody sends me a blue dress and some DNA, I’ll have an investigation.”

Nice, eh?

General Update

Had a few folks ask what I’m up to, so here’s a brief run-down:

1) Finish up the last of my freelance gigs before switching over to write for Adamant full-time.

2) Finishing the next three Adamant releases, so I have a regular stream of releases ready to go.

3) Entering the home stretch of rehersals and prep for the KCRF, which opens the first weekend of September.

4) Trying my hand at digital artwork for a possible graphic novel release based on a game property that I was working on with a partner

5) Continuing work on several fiction projects.

So, you know, the usual.

Oh…political outrage news of the day: The Bush administration, in it’s fervor to release yet another terror alert (see below), blew the cover of mole within Al-Queda who was participating in a sting to round up other operatives. Good thing that it’s really, really easy to infiltrate the organization, otherwise this would be a major fuck up….oh, wait a minute.

Political Terror Alerts

For those of you who haven’t yet made up your minds about the politically-motivated nature of the “Terror Alerts” issued by the Bush administration…check out the following chart:

Interesting. Things which you can notice from this graph:

– Whenever Dubya’s ratings dip, there’s a new terror alert.

– Every terror alert is followed by a slight uptick in his approval ratings.

– As we approach the 2004 elections, the number and frequency of terror alerts keeps growing. (Doesn’t appear to be doing any good, though, as the approval ratings are lower than ever.)
