Can I tell you what I had for dinner? Kinda random. Green beans. Cranberry sauce (homemade). Chick peas. And ... mmmm .... homemade carrot parsnip soup. Most delicious.

Surely someone, somewhere, is doing a comparative study of the comparative average penis size of male Democrats versus male Republicans.

Dearly benighted, we have blathered together here on this the site of our poor, departed ogged...

Way back when, in the waning days of the Roman Republic, a small town in southern Italy was well known for its annual agricultural fair, which was such a production that people came from far away to visit, show off their produce, if it could survive the trip, and meet exotic people. One such hardy trekker had come all the way from cisalpine Gaul with a crop of strawberries, which quickly became the hit of the fair—nearly everyone came by the man's stall. By the third day, his supplies had dwindled quite a bit, but there were still many who came by. That night, a few men came by his camp site as he slept and asked him where he was keeping his remaining berries. He tried to explain to them that he would set up the following morning in the same place as before, but they were quite insistent, even after he promised to set some aside for them. They explained: "we come not to praise your berries, but to seize them."

If something is dumb enough to be tried, there is always someone dumb enough to have tried it. It's some Yogi Berra-meets-Jackass rule.

Whatever the cause, SPS can become a serious mental illness, and if unchecked in its early phases, can result in minor injury (from beatings), major injury (from worse beatings), and even death (from still worse beatings).

If I were Bush, I wouldn't want to be nominating a new Justice in the middle of all this; don't you think getting a hardliner through will be even more difficult if it happens in the wake of indictments? Maybe Miers just gave up of her own accord.

You could be right--although I also think Bush may want to screw the hardliners over the S.Ct. nomination right now. If a group beats up one of Bush's friends, I don't think his instinct is to appease them.

Anyway, nothing from Fitz today.

I think Ogged went on hiatus because he didn't want to have to defend the inevitable Kaus post about how it is irresponsible for democrats to be cheering for indictments because indictments will mean that Bush has no choice but to invade Syria to create a distraction.

This may be true, but then it makes me think of that asshole Frum who said that she just doesn't have the personality for it. Didn't ogged write something about that? Was there even some guy named ogged, or was that my imagination?

Yes, yes it is wishful thinking. The thing to remember about Bush is that he's perfectly capable of royally pissing off principled conservatives without ever doing a darned thing that would make liberals happy (See his fiscal policy: Conservatives want the government to spend nothing. Liberals want the government to spend as much as necessary to cope with society's needs. Bush splits the difference by simply setting stadiums full of money on fire.)

LB, Billmon suggested that b/c of the nature of sealed indictments, the public would not know that indictments had been handed down until the suspects had been notified, taken into custody, or whatever needed to be done. What's your weighty opinion?

Who was it that coined the term "Fitzmas"? Was it that diarist on Kos?

I like to think I made one useful contribution:

I withdraw my Supreme Court nominee.
