Executive Privilege
 

Today, the president invoked executive privilege to prevent White House
aides, Miers and Taylor from testifying in Congress.
Here is a surprisingly unbiased article (for alternet) that might provide background:

Story to follow.

This should drag on for a while. I wonder where all the money to pay for the lawyers will be coming from...hmmm...us taxpayers?

If that's about me...I don't take any.
If it's about Dubbya...don't know, but I think he should start very soon.
Here's a more neutral take than "The Nation".

Hey, DaHoss. Please keep to the topic, ok???
Personal attacks might mean someone has forgotten THEIR meds.

Thanks for the advice.
Now, what do you think of Bush claiming executive privilege?

Clinton used this as did many past Presidents...not unexpected in this case. The thing that annoys me is that this is simply politics by both sides...I'll say the same thing here as I did during Clinton's "Monicagate" fiasco, what we the people should demand is that our elected leaders, from Bush on down, spend more time addressing the real issues of the day and less time chasing each other's tails in attempts to gain a political advantage. The time to stand up to the policies and actions of GWB has long past...deal with the present, Iraq, poverty, disease, genocide, immigration...the past will always be the past.

You might be surprised by this. Discussing current events is very relaxing to me. And, I enjoy life more than I can tell you.

And, Somerfrost brought up some good points. Executive privilege goes all the way back to Washington (if you read the first link).

I haven't seen that movie, but based on your critical review, I'll be sure to watch it soon.
Have a wonderful day! And thanks for the free psych consult.

you are right, and I am convinced it isn't going to happen.
Its all politics now, one continuous money raising election cycle after another.

What's it all matter?

The first boomers go are eligible for Soc Security in 5 months.

They're eligible for Medicare in 3 years.

Health Care is out of sight.

The earth is gonna blow any day now.

Start drinking.

Your post has merit!:D

lol.... I do what I can.

finally a guy talking sense.

Agree! I'm on my second brewski now. Too hot to pick anymore peas and zucchini. The horses don't even like the heat.
Cheers!

but...if we relax then the terrorists win.

CORRECT! The price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance!

of course, there is good news. China and Japan, combined, now own just $1,029,000,000,000 of U.S. debt, as of 4/31/07. That's way down from March's total of $1,031,000,000,000. My only question is, where the hell did that $2 Billion go?

Not my way! I swear! There's nothing buried under the apple tree in the backyard. I really mean it!
Geesh, if I came across that amount of money, I'd buy at least 1000 Green Monkeys, a gold coated Kubota, matching toilet, and a whole lot of very cool fireworks.

Looks like Leahy isn't letting this one go.
Should be a hot, hot, hot summer.
The only frigid numbers are those that continue to support the junta.

no, if we don't relax they win. i think....i relaxed this wknd for sure!

I'll relax you baby.



Where do you live?




When is your husband gone?

don't hold your breath.

"It puts the lotion on its skin"

Oh...he'll be back soon?

It does?




What is "it" ?

yee! auto trader!

Well where are you,Jim?

I thought you were a pretty decent guy.



I'm not positive what you meant,but I think I know.


Gee..it's a message board. If you want to insult me can't you gather the courage to type it to me face???

I think its like a Lord of the Rings type Gollum thing Morton. And I think you are the it.

Well I figured I was the "it"...but the rest I am not familiar with.






Don't you find Jim surprisingly gutless?

Never found him to be that way. But if you're talking gutless, well, it really is the season.
Let me explain.
Suppose you're driving along and you notice a tan thing on the side of the road, and it has these nice white spots on its back.
Hit the breaks!!! Grab the knife, and if it's not bloated, it will be gutless in almost no time at all.
We're talking bumper Bambi, baby!
Free, organic, milk fed. Tastes a lot like baby goat, lamb, but better.
Smothered with onions, a little garlic, grilled or roasted...yum!
But ya gotta take the guts out first, Morty.
'Tis the season.

Oh ...that was nice.

Hope you find one. Best time is early morning before the crows find it.
I'm not kidding, baby venison grills, roasts and makes good kabobs.
After ya skin it, you have enough to make a vest or a nice drum head, and the intestines can be used for sausage casing.
Enjoy!

Well I never ate deer meat.


Maybe it's an acquired thing.









Do they taste like Dannie?

Closer to pastrami.

Never ate a Dannie, but Bambi for sure is lip smackin'!
I hope you find one or two.
They're not that tough to get the guts out. Be sure to save the liver and heart.
I soak the liver in milk over night in the fridge, then fry it up with bacon and some onions and a few eggs for breakfast. The heart is one of my favorites.
Sliced thin and flash fried, then put on some Italian bread with a little basil and provalone...there's lunch.
Then...supper, just fire up the grill, butterfly the back loins, a few ears of corn, and grilled zucchini (olive oil), Morty, there ain't much better.
Give it a try. Just get the Bambi before the crows do. It's a waste to not grab the free fixin's, and it's really delicious! I'm not kiddin'!
btw...what was this thread about?

I am not sure....I think Dannie was dreaming about sitting on me.







Oh well.
