So Who Told Karl?

With the long holiday weekend upon us, those parts of the blogworld that have not taken off to enjoy some time away from their computers have settled in for a nice long spell of speculation about Karl Rove, the Plame leak, and the best question of all: Who told Rove? Digby in particular has been on a roll in the last day or so, but there’s plenty of other good stuff out there as well if you want to spend time in front of your PC instead of out barbecuing this weekend.

As much as I would love to see Rove’s career go down in flames and take the rest of the right wingers with him, I’m sceptical it will happen. The right wing machine has had a long time to study not only Watergate but l’affaire Clinton for “what not to do”, and if nothing else, those guys are good at covering their tracks. I seriously doubt a legal case will be able to be successfully prosecuted, even assuming there’s a DA willing to press charges.

Perhaps I’m too much of a pessamist here. I’d love to be proven wrong.

I’m not interested, but I am somewhat amused. Does the professor think that’s a good use of his students’ time?

Well That Is a Surprise

Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman on the Supreme Court and a swing vote on abortion as well as other contentious issues, announced her retirement Friday

And we all though it would be Rehnquist to go first.

Now, of course, the shit will truly start to hit the fan. It’s not going to be pretty.

Farewell Kittens!


This morning we took Kiki and Kitnip back to the SPCA for spaying & adopting out. It was hard to let them go after all the stress and trauma we went through, but I know they will both find good homes. Pansy and Marcy did.

Do The Limbo

For a number of reasons, mostly related to Scott being job hunting and us looking at moving apartments, I’m feeling very stuck in limbo right now. And it’s not a lot of fun. So since I can’t do much of anything related to my own work until Scott’s job hunt concludes, I made some changes in my fall plans instead.

I registered for fall classes back in April, but last week, as the deadline for fall registration wound down, I switched from an Ethics class to one on Manegerial Accounting. I figured that given how difficult I find memorizing all the details of accounting rules, it would be better to get all my accounting course requirements out of the way while I still retained some of what I’ve learned in the last 2 semesters.

They’re both required courses, so it’s really just a matter of what order I take them in. I may not know where we’ll be living this fall, but at least I feel like I have one thing under control and well-planned.

Oh, my friend did not get laid off. And more foster pix will be coming soon.
