Happy 4th, you crazy peeps!

I am wishing my American friends a joyful, over-fed lazy day in your back-yards, at your pools, making burnt offerings on you BBQ's.My sister, my 3 nieces and one nephew, with their children are all celebrating a day off, with pay.I sure enjoyed Canada Day, just this last Sunday.I also reflected on my freedom being eroded, bit by bit.I also reflected on my friends' freedoms, south of the border, being taken away from them by leaps and bounds. When will you guys have a press again which isn't afraid to tell the truth? One that isn't owned by GE or Time Warner? One that isn't bamboozled into being political shills for the election-campaign contributors?Libby (Liebowitz) being 'excused' was another example of the pre-Iranian-invasion arrogance, rivaling the 1936 mood in pre-WW2 Europe.You see, Bush doesn't give a fuck.He knows that nobody has any balls left to stand up to him and his power-grab. He's laughing at all of you: Dem's and GOP's alike.Don't expect any changes on 2008... there likely won't BE any elections anyway. Have a nice day...especially when you're singing about the rockets' red glare.r----> who is shaking his head in disbelief.

Thank you for your well thought out contribution, Russ. That must have been quite an effort.

Do you always come this late to the party?

Not everyone checks the newsgroups every day. A belated 'piss off' to you.

Actually, the mandatory sentencing guidelines, for which this administration has been a stickler (up to this point), for Libby's crime are 30-37 months. He got the minimum. But, I guess 1 day was too large a price to pay, for someone of his stature, for the crime.
