He went on at length about how much Condi wants to testify under oath and in public, how much everyone at the White House wants Condi to testify. She's chomping at the bit etc., but alas--Rummy makes a see-saw motion with his hands, draws his face back sadly--it would "break that 'balance' if we made a habit of this". A habit of what Telling the truth Yes I suppose that would indeed upset their "balance". Jaysus. What a performance. It's not...http://radio.weblogs.com/0122403/2004/03/28.html#a11 The weather report- March 28, 2004 It was nice again today. I was just watching my favourite channel and it will be dark all night again tonight and overcast tomorrow, but Tuesday should be mostly cloudy to start with but then be in a condition of cloudy periods with a 60% chance of some cloud later on with scattered clouds through the evening. Or not. They didn't sound very confident. No. They sounded worried. Which pisses me off.

And here's me mailbox. .http://radio.weblogs.com/0122403/2004/03/26.html#a9 Goo Morning- March 26, 2004 Jaysus. Turns out there's a six AM now. Yeah, Jack. That's what time Mercedes' plane left Torbay field this morning, bound for Halifax and Liam's first tournament. Which is cool, and Liam will not only be thrilled, he'll get a day off school. But it was something of an experiment to attempt to get up at 4:00, an hour previously reserved for going to bed. Yes, it was slightly unthinkable.

We're watching as the lies unravel slowly in front of the world- the WMD farce and the Al-Qaeda mockery.

It looks like a movie set. It's worse than the Battery, and of course you cannot move there in the summer for the tourists. Nope, I want a place a little harder to get to, or a place with no "tourist" appeal, whatever that may be now. The 'Murricans are buying up the outports, but the Joke is on them when the Euro forces arrive. Remember when the cdn $ was higher than the greenback You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Well I would if I was sick. Healthy, I'd go with a 10% chance to survive.
