Ho-hum, still waiting

Do not overlook my latest book, The Cham Stones, which is now available from Publish America, P.O. Box 151, Frederick, Maryland, 21705, or from their web site.

Unfortunately nothing much happens, at least not that we are hearing about. Bush's ratings continue to fall virtually daily but the Bush/Cheney administration manages to overlook the obvious (they are not so slowly dying).

I hope you are aware that the Vatican, for the second year, is offering a course in exorcism. That is, EXORCISM. Apparently they have some 100 priests and maybe others enrolled in this 14th century class. I mean, really, can there be anything more medieval than the Catholic Church? Old men strolling around in weird clothing, carrying weird staffs, speaking Latin, and keeping women from being ordained, etc., etc. Oh, I forgot, they just agreed to having homosexual priests as long as they are celibate. I guess that is real progress. But at least the Catholic Church recognizes evolution (I think) which is certainly a cut above the nonsensical Evangelicals that are trying to turn the clock back several centuries. Catholics seem to appear to be living in the middle ages but at least their positions on some things are somewhat more up to date (remember, I said some things).

Then there is Scott McClellan who assured us that Karl Rove absolutely had nothing to do with outing Valerie Plame. And Rove apparently assured Bush that he had nothing to do with it. As it turns out, he did. So what happens? Nothing. Bush would probably rather give up an arm and a leg than give up Rove. And he is apparently not going to give up on Miers, insisting that her nomination will not be withdrawn. If we had any real Senators they would simply send Bush a note saying her nomination under the circumstances is so inappropriate they will not even consider it. But don't bet she won't get confirmed. Just what we need, a rabid Evangelical Christian who worships Bush on the Supreme Court. Tell me this is not just a horrible nightmare. Please. McClellan has also now announced that Helen Thomas is against the war on Terrorism (whatever that is). Poor Helen, after all these years she just can't get it right. Just ask Scott, the worst nitwit liar ever to serve as Press Secretary (he probably consults nightly with his friend Gannon/Guckert who seems to have conveniently disappeared from the scene).

I can't stand the suspense. What will Fitzgerald do? Will he indict? Who will he indict? What will be the charges? When is it going to happen? Could he have spent two years investigating this and then claim to have found nothing? Unlikely, but how do we know until he comes out with something? Something big I hope. You have to admit, however bad things are, it is exciting.

Let me leave you with this haiku:
How appropriate,
when the Great Mystery calls,
to leave in autumn.
