Well, of COURSE! < d'oh > *

they're only doing just exactly what they said they were going to do... how many times do you have to tell some people...?
The Bush administration pushed back against congressional Democrats on two fronts yesterday, as the White House formally directed senior adviser Karl Rove not to cooperate with a Senate probe into the firing of U.S. attorneys and Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales declined to alter testimony that some senators have described as misleading.

i've been pretty glum lately about the sorry state of affairs in my country... i was off in another city yesterday, visiting with a friend, his lovely wife, and their now one year old baby girl whom i had not yet seen (shame, shame on me)... i got back and was reading the posts by jim (here and here) and mettle (here and here) and thinking, good lord, what's the use...? that feeling has been creeping over me more and more lately and i don't like it...

i refuse to succumb to hopelessness and despair... i'm as adamant about not doing that as i am about not being sucked into the constant fear campaign... but... i so desperately want something to happen that will break the terrible logjam of lies, deceit, crimes, and unrelieved darkness that is afflicting the u.s...

i always feel i'm grasping at thin straws of hope when something emerges like the recent "anonymous commenter" (here and here) but we need so much more than that... where's the groundswell of people in the bush administration and in congress demanding the restoration of our constitution and the removal of the fascist thugs who currently claim to govern us...?
