They are doing so well, I can�t even believe it! I have dozens of them growing on my plant! Of course, now I think the plant may collapse under the added weight. I have tied the plant to two stakes and it�s still wobbly...keep my peppers in your prayers, people.

Oh and it turns out my Basil is actually Oregano.

Oops.

So how about that Bachelor, eh? Man, what a load of looney tune women they have on that show this season. I don�t even know where to begin, except to also point out that Bachelor Bob is a Big ol� HO!!!!!!!

Bob was kissing (in a most nauseating fashion, I might add) all kinds of women last night! Actually, I think it was only three, but that�s one per group date and also � he doesn�t even know these women. I must also point out that at least one of them was rather obviously pulling away while he was most insistent that �No, you can�t pull away yet, I haven�t shoved my tongue down your throat. And to make sure you aren�t pulling away...here, let me grab the back of your head.� I think Bob is just thinking �Boy, these are all great looking gals but they�re also all wackadoos. What�s a guy to do? Hey, here�s what...GET AS MUCH ACTION AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE BEFORE THE SHOW IS OVER AND EVERYBODY REALIZES THAT I AM NO REAL CATCH; I AM JUST AN ORDINARY GUY WITH ORDINARY LOOKS AND AN ORDINARY INCOME AND I WILL NEVER, EVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN TO MACK ON WOMEN AS BEAUTIFUL AS THESE!�

OK, that�s the show, in a nutshell.

And to quote the note I left in RumbleLizard�s guestbook this morning: �We wasted HOW MUCH money investigating trumped up charges in the Whitewater "scandal" and later to investigate just where Bill Clinton was putting his penis and now here we have a legitimate concern we should all be very scared of and what is happening? Where is the demand for an investigation? Yes, well...there's our "Liberal Media" for you."

Dear MoveOn member,

According to the Washington Post, "two top White House officials" committed a high crime in the first weeks of July. They handed over the identity of an American secret agent to journalists. They blew her cover, risking the lives of colleagues and contacts and possibly erasing years of intelligence work. Why? "Purely and simply for revenge," an administration official told the Post. The spy's husband was a vocal critic of the Iraq war. (Sources below.)

The White House and the Justice Department have known about this crime for months -- after all, the agent's identity was published in scores of newspapers in early July. But until a few days ago, they did nothing about it. And even now, President Bush has said he has no plans to ask his staff whether they were connected to it.

Republicans contend that an investigation by the Justice Department will reveal any wrongdoing. But Justice Department chief John Ashcroft -- who was appointed by President Bush and who employed key Bush advisor Karl Rove -- is hardly neutral. Already, there are signs that the investigation will give the White House room to cover the crime up.

The simple fact is that the truth will only come out under pressure. If we don't speak up now, the investigation could be left in John Ashcroft's hands, and the perpetrators and the crime could be swept under the rug. Please tell John Ashcroft and Congress that you want a special prosecutor -- someone who isn't tied to the Bush Administration -- to investigate this illegal and vindictive act.

Join us now.

Although almost 7 in 10 Americans believe that Ashcroft should appoint a special prosecutor to handle the investigation, he currently refuses to do so. But he had a point back in 1997, when he said that "A single allegation can be most worthy of a special prosecutor. If you're abusing government property, if you're abusing your status in office, it can be a single fact that makes the difference on that."

It certainly appears that people in the Bush White House abused their status in office.

On July 6th of 2003, Valerie Plame's husband Joe Wilson wrote an editorial in the New York Times. Joe Wilson was a former Ambassador to Iraq, appointed originally by President George H. W. Bush, who had been sent in 2002 to investigate claims that Iraq was trying to buy uranium from Niger. He concluded that "based on my experience with the administration in the months leading up to the war, I have little choice but to conclude that some of the intelligence related to Iraq's nuclear weapons program was twisted to exaggerate the Iraqi threat."

On July 14th, conservative columnist Robert Novak revealed that according to "senior administration officials," Wilson's wife was "an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction." Up to this point, Valerie Plame's identity was a carefully kept secret, but Novak blew her cover.

Then, last Sunday, the Washington Post printed an article titled "Bush Administration is Focus of Inquiry." The article contained a revelation: "Yesterday, a senior administration official said that before Novak's column ran, two top White House officials called at least six Washington journalists and disclosed the identity and occupation of Wilson's wife...'Clearly, it was meant purely and simply for revenge,' the senior official said of the alleged leak."

In 1999, President George H. W. Bush said that "I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the names of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors." Right now, it looks like possible traitors in the White House are being given a free pass. Please call on Attorney General Ashcroft and Congress to appoint a special prosecutor today. We need to get to the bottom of this.

Sign Now.

THE DAILY MIS-LEAD

THE PRESIDENT'S PROMISES ON HOMELAND SECURITY ARE LONG ON TALK, SHORT ON MONEY

The Bush Administration apparently is willing to shortchange the police, firefighters and emergency personnel who would be the first to arrive on the scene of a terrorist attack on American soil.
