After the storm that was Friday, have had a quiet weekend just gone. As I had already seen the movie of the week on Friday night, did not need to go out again at all (plus I had spent enough money already LOL, damn my DVD addiction), and yesterday was just a computer game, one of those control a country for 100 or 1000 year things, put on pause for lunch and dinner, and then to bed.
Today was an even quieter day - got up at 11am so really didn't have that much of a day to chew up the rest of it. Before I knew it, I was doing the cooking for the evening - chicken and tarragon pie out of the Woolworth's Great Taste magazine. Was very yummy, and got the big tick for a next time - I seriously need to put some good recipes on here, get the whole Martha Stewart crowd in to become my fanbase LOL. As I have said before, I don't believe in splitting my thoughts between several different blogs, lol this is my political blog, this is my bitching about work blog, this is my recipe blog LOL - nope not gonna happen.
This is a good op-ed piece from Frank Rich in the NYT - about the whole Karl Rove trashing Ambassador Wilson and his CIA operative wife thing. It isn't about Niger or Karl Rove, it is about Iraq and President Bush, and when his staff will have to start falling on their swords. So Nixon broke into the Democrats hotel, so what LOL, it's not as if 1700 soldiers and counting died because someone tried to assassinate your Dad forever ago, hmmph.
'The morning after Mr. McClellan went mano a mano with his tormentors in the White House press room - "We've secretly replaced the White House press corps with actual reporters," observed Jon Stewart - the ardently pro-Bush New York Post ran only five paragraphs of a wire-service story on Page 12. That conspicuous burial of what was front-page news beyond Murdochland speaks loudly about the rising anxiety on the right.'
John Stewart, gotta love him LOL, if only we could get the Daily Show here - what, it's on Foxtel, yet another reason to get it - that and the Super 12 rugby of course. If only :)
Further on the actual story, apart from trashing Mr Wilson and his wife, when was the last time the possibility that Saddam could smuggle a uranium bomb into the US and detonate it raised as a reason for the whole invasion of Iraq? What, you mean there weren't WMD's in there ready to fire within forty five minutes? Ohhh, WMD thoughts that would take months or years to come to fruition even if the CIA and MI6 weren't breathing down Iraq's neck. Oh, but I have forgotten, the whole rationale has changed to fighting terrorists there instead of in the homeland. Umm, for some strange reason, I can't see any US city becoming as much a warzone as Baghdad, even if Al Qaeda was given passes to Disneyland.
Another day of carnage in Iraq today, three British soldiers killed, one American, and 98 Iraqi civilians (death toll so far) blown apart as a suicide bomber blew himself up next to a fuel tanker and possibly also an explosives depot. Only the worst of fifteen suicide bombs in and around Baghdad within the last 48 hours.
Just a quick one this evening, just to advise that I am still alive if nothing more :)
