I'm losing it - hey, no comments - so it'll be short. Really, I have no idea what went on this week.

Ashcroft for Prez
Yeah, he let'em have it. What's he got to lose? He's more polarizing that President Bush. People who like Bush hate him. But who would trust a guy who doesn't drink soda? I know I wouldn't. Any way ya gotta love this guy.

"Although you understand the debilitating impact of the wall, I cannot imagine that theCommission knew about this memorandum, so I have declassified it for you and the public to review. Fulldisclosure compels me to inform you that its author is a member of this Commission."

From the DOJ:

"(Note: The Attorney General often deviates from prepared remarks.)"

"I certainly cannot say why the blueprint for security was not followed in 2000. I do know from mypersonal experience that those who take the kind of tough measures called for in the plan will feel theheat. I've been there; I've done that. So the sense of urgency simply may not have overcome concern aboutthe outcry and criticism which follows such tough tactics."

Where's 'The People'?
Next time we want a committee to investigate an important issue for the American people - maybe it should be made up of, oh, American people - not a bunch of former politicians and political layers.

Toomed
Local Politics. Arlin Spector was on Rush - some complained about this 'free' airtime. Here's Rush's explanation. Whatdaya think? He worried? I hope so. And I hope he has good reason to be.

Cleaning Up
Israel cleaned up another terrorist leader this week. At least this one wasn't in a wheelchair - looks a litter better for PR. Here's how I found out - an IM from Gabe:

Chris: Have you checked the news this eveningChris: Israel just blew up some terrorist scumTim: CoolTim: Wheelchair bound?Chris: his successorTim: Nice.

I figure Gabe would make a great middle-eastern correspondent. Too bad he'd get shot. I told him that - his response, "Not if I kill them first." Now that's fair and balanced.

And I figure there's a reason they're doing this with rockets. I think the Mossad could take care of these people quietly, but this sorta strikes fear into the heart of would be leaders. And so it should.
