Evidence is trickling in every day highlighting the corruption deeply ingrained in the Republican party. Prominent party leaders and many of their underlings have their panties in a wad trying to decide whether to lie to the various courts of inquiry they are facing. Jack Abramoff is trying to decide who or what to give up. Testify truthfully about his dealings with Tom DeLay, or lose his freedom on perjury charges. Even the indominable Dick Cheney has to be worried about the consequences of his actions, perhaps for the first time in his life. Just wait and see what happens when the truth comes out about our torturing practices. You can't change established law on a whim. With republicans in charge, America is losing the respect of the civilized world.

I seem to be emerging from the fog of flu. The last eight or nine days have been a blurr. I just laughed out loud for the first time in days. Only hours ago I was wondering if I was doomed to live forever with that fucking flu. I could feel the virus racing through my system. I think I understand my laptop on a whole new level. There are several free programs that scan for viruses and such. Wish I had one for humans.
