National News Thoughts
It's currently 5 p.m. on Monday and the two biggest stories on the news are Obama telling Hillary "no way" on a combined ballot and Elliot Spitzer possibly buying a prostitute (and he may resign in an hour and a half).
These stories are pretty important, I definitely agree.
Interesting though, is a story which says the House Judiciary Committee is suing to force Harriet Miers (former White House counsel) and Joshua Bolten (White House chief of staff) to speak on the nine attorneys that were fired.
Both the White House and Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey, Mr. Gonzales’s successor, have said the Ms. Miers and Mr. Bolten do not have to testify before the committee because of executive privilege, according to the "New York Times."
The committee's action marked the first time in U.S. history that either chamber of Congress has sued the Executive Branch to enforce a subpoena, according to a spokesman for the Judiciary Committee, said "The Washington Post."
The House in turn filed a civil suit. What's more, many Republicans left the House in protest while this was disputed on February 15.
I think that this story is just as big and important. The House is telling the White House that they cannot just cover up another mitake and that someone has to be accountable. When do we get to learn about the good things that sometimes happen in the Capitol? When do they make the front page or are played on continuous loop on major networks?

You only think it is "more important" because you are a liberal Democrat with BDS (Bush Derrangement Syndrome).
All US Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President and he can fire them at any time, for any reason. Congress has NO RIGHT to investigate - they are just using it as a vessel for their BushHate.
Bill Clinton fired EVERY US Attorney when he took office - 93 of them! - and the only thing they did wrong was be hired by a Republican President.
But there was no stink about that from the Democrat-Media Complex. But the DemocRats in Congress need to spew some BushHate, so they decide there must be some nefarious action going on, and their minions in the Democrat-Media Complex go right along with them, as if it were a real story.
Get informed.
"DemocRats" what did you steal that from a Ziggy or a Family Circus comic
Ziggy is sooooooo cool. I just love his little round head. Family Circus gets a little too preachy and is way too wholesome for my taste. All in all, they are really funny.
