"The White House - slow to realize how perilous their situation is - is just now waking up to political - and legal - reality. Legal? Yes. If the Democrats win even one house of Congress back, they will have subpoena power and the power to run massive investigations into the Bush Administration. You can be certain they will launch inquiries into every aspect of the Bush Presidency: Iraq, energy deals, spying, torture, money matters, cozy corporate deals and on and on. Make no mistake about it: if they can, they will impeach President Bush. Why? A) Because they hate him; B) Because it will juice up their supporters; C) Payback for the Clinton impeachment." by John LeBoutillier, SIERRA TIMES

And now for something completely different: Couple Cited in Bizarre Fake Penis Case By JOE MANDAK, Associated Press Writer Friday, March 3, 2006 (03-03) 14:27 PST Pittsburgh (AP) -- A man and woman were cited Friday in connection with a bizarre incident that resulted in a fake penis being microwaved at a convenience store last week. Leslye Creighton, 41, of Wilkinsburg, and Vincent Bostic, 31, of Pittsburgh, were both cited for criminal mischief and disorderly conduct in the Feb. 23 incident at the Get Go! gasoline and convenience store in McKeesport, about 10 miles east of Pittsburgh. Each charge carries a possible sentence of up to 90 days in jail and up to a $300 fine. Bostic had filled a fake penis with his urine that Creighton, a friend, planned to use to pass a drug test she was taking to get a job, Police Chief Joseph Pero said. Creighton asked a store clerk to microwave the device so the urine inside would be body-temperature and fool those giving the drug test, Pero said. Police still aren't sure why or how Creighton chose to use a device that mimics the male sex organ to pass her drug test. Creighton didn't immediately return a call to her home on Friday. Defense attorney William Difenderfer didn't dispute the police account, but said there's no proof his clients had any criminal intent to damage the microwave — the basis for the criminal mischief charge. "I certainly understand the ramifications and I'm certainly not saying it wasn't a stupid thing to do," Difenderfer said. "But there's a lot of bizarre stuff that we don't always have a remedy for in the crimes code." Difenderfer said his clients want to settle the case, in part, by reimbursing the store for a new microwave oven. Pero said the store got rid of the old oven because it couldn't be used for food once bodily fluids were cooked inside it. Neither Difenderfer nor Pero know what kind of job the woman applied for, or whether she was hired.

More a testimony to fatally bad handling by Bush than to it being a bad idea. So now the Republicans stumble over each other to kill the deal so they look better than the Dems.

'From everything I'm seeing the Port deal is D.O.A. The House Appropiations Committee just voted to kill the deal, and it should be voted on next week.' The more I think of this 'Deal' the more Im convinced its a Karl Rove scheme to show how much Back Bone the Repub Congress has... they will oppose The Deal.. 'the sheep'... will be Oh So Impressed with these 'manly men.'.......... and will vote to keep the crooks in office thus.. The Texas Turd will avoid being ..Impeached ................................. and the beat will go on .... and juniors handlers get what they want I trust my gut on this one.. Its just part of The Great Game.... T
