Back From England...

Where the high-speed wasn't working in the charming little hotel selected by Swampspouse...And so, better late than never, here's my Hillary Clinton cover story.

Meanwhile, on a few things that happened while I was gone:

--The Congress overruled Bush's veto on the (utterly wasteful, enivronmentally despicable) water projects bill, thereby unleashing billions in porkified cash, but can't seem to override the President, or cut a deal, on children's health? Shameful.

--Rudy endorsed by telecharlatan Pat Robertson, who said that 9/11 was a judgment on the sinfulness of Rudy's beloved city? Question: Who's more desperate? Robertson, who's losing stroke with the younger generation of fundamentalists...or Rudy, who would actually accept the endorsement from this dreadful man? My guess is it helps neither, may hurt both because of the sheer cynicism of the deal.

--What's up with Chuck Schumer? First he supports the hedge-fund managers' desire to have their trazillion dollar salaries taxed at a lower level than most assembly-workers' wages...and then the vote for Mukasey. I'd have forced a moot court situation, demanded that Mukasey analyze the information on waterboarding and issue a formal judgment before the Senate voted.
