Yay!!!!

2. Americablog has some feedback from readers calling the Hill
Feedback from our readers who have called the Hill:
SDS reports: Just called Lindsay Graham's office and asked if he was celibate. The girl who answered the phone got nasty and asked me if I was. I said no and then said I'm not a hypocrite. Also called Dole's office and asked for her views on adultery. No response from the secretary.

Bill writes: Just called Lamar Alexander, the staffer continually answered "that's not relevant" "these questions are not relevant, I won't answer."

Lily writes: I called the Senators office in Utah, and asked being that the Congress feels it it their duty to get into bedrooms and use the US Constitution to do it, the I would like to know if he and others are prepared to set an example and let the American people know about their indescretions ?

The secratary sho answered his phone said "You know what ma'am we do not take questions like that"

I said, "well if they are ready to get into legistate our personal sex lives, shouldn't they be prepared to answer"?

hehe.. She got all pissy and asked my zip, which I was happy to give to her.
Keep the feedback coming!

7. Holding him captive to the great indoors is a victory of sorts
Did wonders to help get rid of Nixon when he was prevented, by prospect of open ridicule, from showing his face outdoors.

8. I'm disappointed. I wanted him to off himself in the
Rose Garden... x(

It would have been so much more ceremonial that way.

5. Well, so many 'scare topics' and so little time!
QUICK....SECURE ALL BORDERS--NO ONE IN OR OUT!!!!

17 arrested in Canada terror plot
3 tons of bomb ingredients; police say Ontario sites targeted


American officials said that White House officials were briefed on the case in recent days and that counterterrorism agencies were in contact with Canadian authorities who warned them of the arrests.

One senior counterterrorism official said there had been extensive contact between U.S. and Canadian authorities in the past several days. Though there appeared to have been no direct threat inside the United States, the proximity of the potential terrorists to the border "really got everybody's attention," the official said. ...The FBI issued a statement Saturday saying there was a "preliminary indication" that some of the Canadian subjects might have had "limited contact" with two people from Georgia who were recently arrested. Those two were Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, 19, an American of Bangladeshi descent, and Syed Haris Ahmed, 21, a Pakistani-born American.

Law-enforcement officials said they had made "casing" videos of various sites in Washington, D.C., and have said that their case was linked to the arrests of several men in Britain last fall, and that the two were believed to have met with "like-minded Islamic extremists" in Canada in March 2005. ...

6. NO!
He must do it! Please, don't let him change his mind! I was so excited last week to hear that the event was planned!

It'a the perfect political suicide!
