Well, I never thought that Luke and Lorelai actually would get married. Also, I liked how the daughter has NO IDEA what a huge bomb she's like exploded in Luke's life. (Or in the lives of the other two possible fathers.)

Um...

The Washington Times, you may know, is an "independent" newspaper that is basically the mouthpiece of the Republican party. For that reason, it sometimes gets inside scoops as to what the GOP is thinking, and even what's going on inside the White House. For that reason, their latest story on Bush is extremely disturbing:

President Bush feels betrayed by several of his most senior aides and advisors and has severely restricted access to the Oval Office, administration sources say. The president's reclusiveness in the face of relentless public scrutiny of the U.S.-led war in Iraq and White House leaks regarding CIA operative Valerie Plame has become so extreme that Mr. Bush has also reduced contact with his father, former President George H.W. Bush, administration sources said on the condition of anonymity.

Matt Drudge adds on his site:

The sources said Mr. Bush maintains daily contact with only four people: first lady Laura Bush, his mother, Barbara Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes. The sources also say that Mr. Bush has stopped talking with his father, except on family occasions.

So basically Bush is melting down. (Or, at the very least, the number one propaganda organ of the GOP wants us to think Bush is losing it - that's just bizarre on its face, and shows had bad things are for Bush, and the party.) This is rather disturbing in view of the increased chatter about Bush, an alcoholic who never sought treatment, now reportedly drinking again.

... yay?

Are Colin and Finn Rory's friends? I thought their presence bode well for the Rory/Logan relationship.

the 6 month glucose test had me with dietary diabetes level (it was a 6 something and last year it was a 1 something - so my system is totally protesting the abuse.

The A1C test? My target figure is anything below 7, the farther the better. I didn't think 1 was possible.

I agree with you, ita. I think that Rory only knows Colin & Finn through Logan. I imagine that once again, Logan was away on his father's business.

He's not even talking to Cheney or Rove? That's bad.

Well, connie, it is not beyond the bounds of belief that I misunderstood my doctor. I think that the goal was to stay below 5 - maybe I went up 1. something. (But I could swear he said it had been a 1. something.)

Sounds more and more like the stories about Nixon during the last days of his Watergate....

Huh. I have a mini-meltdown at my desk, and suddenly my boss is all, "Here, let me help." I can't decide if he's just trying to be a good manager, or if he's terrified I'll walk out and leave him to deal with all of this by himself.

He's not even talking to Cheney or Rove? That's bad.

I've heard rumors before that he's really pissed at Cheney and has stopped talking to him.

Witness Bush saying, "We don't torture," the same day that Cheney is trying to get Congress to allow the CIA to torture.
