There's battle lines being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind

Say that again?

Did everybody forget to take their crazy pills this week or what?

Tony Snow says that Congress should get stuffed about subpoenaing Whitehouse Staff because "Congress has no oversight."

The Vice President's Office has failed to comply with a Information Security Oversite Office which helps keep track of classified and declassified information (remember that the President conferred the power to declassify information to the VP's Office) because the VP's Office is arguing that they are not a part of the Executive Branch. And now they're trying to close that office.

And it only gets better. Rootin' Tootin' Putin has revived the Old Soviet Rhetoric. OMG. Well, here are the Ruskies as I knew them. Oh, how I miss the old days of the 1990s when Russia was our friend. I'm so glad our former National Security Advisor and now our current Secretary of State is a Russian Expert, 'cause just imagine how bad our relationship with Russia would be if she wasn't there.

But on the positive side, because our Director of National Security Archives wanted applause from some historians the US Government next week will release (declassify) many documents from 30+ years ago about how the CIA used to do things. You know, domestic spying, assassination, threats, all that fun stuff that, you know, to hear the proponents of the Patriot Act talk, that we never have done and wouldn't ever do 'cause we're the good guys.
