Bush has nothing to fear. Karl Rove and Dan Bartlett are on the case.
I exhibit no surprise whatsoever, but I should really get coffee before reading the newspapers in the morning. Really.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

From that article:
These officials said that Mr. Bush and his political aides rapidly changed course in what they acknowledged was a belated realization of the situation's political ramifications.
Humanitarian aspects be damned - there's political issues here!
Even my extremely conservative, pro-administration houseguest is having trouble with the federal response to this.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wow. Did you notice how quickly Bush nominated Rogers as Chief Justice?
Nice to know he can get some things done quickly.

I chalk this decision up to prudence more than expediency.
Roberts looks like a strong candidate who will go through the confirmation process with less of a fight. He can win this one, and then regroup for a bigger battle with a more conservative nominee, if he likes, when the shitstorm from Katrina dies down. And if Iraqi voters ratify their constitution in October, that will help Bush win some domestic battles.
OMG, I'm starting to think like Karl Rove. Someone shoot me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a non-political question: I was planning on taking my cable box in to trade it in for the DVR today, but just learned that the location I was going to go to is the only one open today because of the holiday. Does this mean the line will be ridonkulous? Hmmm. Maybe I don't care. But maybe I could do it on Wednesday when normal people are at work. HMMMMM.

Jesse, the line might be non-existent because of the holiday. I'd say it's a 50-50 chance. But if it were me, I'd go during the week, if you can.

Yeah, I think you're right. This is really stupid, but I hate having to re-think the plans that only exist in my head.
