News Dump:
• Bush says “We’re making progress in Iraq.” – By whose measuring stick? He’s using the same logic he uses to take credit for a lower deficit, a deficit which he created. If there are less bombings and deaths per day than a few months ago, does that spell progress? How about comparing it to how many deaths and bombings per day there were before the U.S. gave the Iraqi’s “freedom?” If you create a problem, don’t pat yourself on the back for “sort of starting to fix it.”
• Surgeon General nominee claims that he won’t be persuaded by politics if appointed. – Then me thinks you won’t have a job very long. This administration has shown that they don’t like it when you don’t play by their rules. Hey, it was an honor just to be nominated right?
• Miers faces possible contempt of Congress. – Thanks to Bush and the executive branch proclaiming supreme power and privelage over all other branches, Miers could be sent up the river. Take one for the team you baby, and take your sorry Constitution with you!
• Lebanese army clashes with Islamic militants – I’m shocked. Next thing you’re going to tell me is that an Israeli was killed in Gaza, oh wait.
• Bush: “CIA leak is old news.” – Hello hand, meet face. I think that rug you’re sweeping all of these scandals under is just about at capacity Mr. Bush.

Ouch, that was painful.
