WW()D?

and more Friday evening dumpage...

We go rafting up on the Lower Kern over the weekend and come home to find out that in addition to passing cap and trade late Friday (which included a 300 page un-read (un-readable?) amendment), the most ethical Congress ever found time to squeeze in a moment-of-silence tribute to an alleged child molester on the House floor during the debate on that same piece of, uhh, legislation.

Also, taken out with the trash right before the weekend was the fact that (President Bush) was, in seeking to avoid a battle with Congress over the closing of Club Gitmo, crafting language that would re-assert presidential authority to incarcerate terrorism suspects indefinetely.

Recall that (President Bush) criticized the previous administration for its policies regarding the long-term detention of detainees and insisted that any detention program must include Congressional and judicial oversight.

With the flurry of activity that went down in D.C. going into the weekend, we're relieved to learn that despite all the flailing and posturing some things never change.
