Secret Satan

[weaktwos]

Have you heard of the Devil's game of Secret Santa? Where you ask "Who's this from?" and get no answer!

Well, if you have heard of that game, listen to Karkis rock out about it.

It looks like there's still plenty of fun going on in Iraq.

Insurgent attacks have picked up again. Here's something I didn't know: Shiite's make up 60 percent of the population, Sunnis 20 percent. I guess Kurds round out the rest of the ethnic spread. That's an interesting breakdown. It makes me wonder how a group with 20 percent of the population could stay in power for so long.

I saw in yesterday's news where Colin Powell gave carefully worded support of Bush's penchant for warrantless wiretaps. Powell posited how easy it would have been to get warrants on terror-related investigations, and that the government should be able to monitor those transmissions. My take is that it wasn't just "war on terror" related transmissions they were monitoring. Even though Powell said it was easy to get warrants, apparently the federal surveillance court was being too difficult for Bush.

Apparently, lacking "probable cause" was too burdensome for the Bush administration.

I hated that Powell gave such a "bush" comment. He keeps going down on my respect scale too.

Rice gave another comment yesterday (at least I saw it yesterday) much along the same lines as Powell.

Sad, too sad,
