Back in the late 60s or early 70s I was doing some electrical work in a Philadelphia row home.
In mid afternoon the local school obviously let out as I started to see a few youngsters, 6-7-8 coming around a corner and walking up this small street I was working on.

Eventually two small boys appeared, about 7 years old, one black, one white. The black boy was carrying the white boy on his back, what we used to call a horseback ride. After a time, they changed places and now the white boy was carrying the black boy.

As I watched this drama unfold, their racial innocence was on display and I thought to myself: "One day they will start to notice their different color.....sad"

Didn't Denny Hastert pull off his own land deal before he left Congress?

I must say, they certainly are creative there in DC and on K Street.

pkafin,

Its obvious that a silver bullet kills a werewolf as you never saw a werewolf in any Lone Ranger episode.

Steve Clemons says:

"My own analogy to describe the neocons to lay audiences is the "Borg" in Star Trek."

I think they're more like that gang of aliens in the movie Independence Day.

I'll believe he'll show up only when I see him sitting there. And if he actually does show up, what can you expect? Another Alberto Gonzales type testimony where he says a lot but says nothing?

On another note he may be coming because he thinks he can make asses out of Conyers and the rest.

By the way, is he setting a precedent by appearing?

Ellen asks;

"What would have happened if Adolph, his own worst enemy, hadn't declared war on the United States?"

The Russians would have taken care of him?

Conyers to Rove:

"I will give you 6 months to obey our subpoena, if you do not comply, I shall be forced to issue another subpoena."

Pat Leahy: "I second that."
