Ranting Liberally

Libby trial started. Apparently the prosecutor is going for an either or, as in either Cheney or Rove. I'm pulling for a Cheney take-down. The guy is completely the Darth Vader of the GOP, and Rove is ridiculously evil as well, but I suspect not as dangerous. Like Travis says "Karl Rove is like a gun. He can be used for good or for evil, its just a matter of getting him on your side." True story. After all, I don't think he was galactically destructive in the least when he was working for Clinton. Cheney, on the other hand, probably could have convinced old Bill to expand his Lewinsky-banging into an intense intern sex ring. That and convinced him to fund genocide in Rwanda if it would get Halliburton more contracts.

Yes, I actually think the man is evil, not just minimally sinister. Side note, though: did you know that Halliburton was founded in 1919? I heard that today. Also, is it weird that Scooter Libby reminds me of G. Gordon Liddy? It's probably just the names, I suppose.

On a different topic, I think that maybe I swear too much. Not very ladylike, I know. Still, I don't know how much there is about me that is remotely ladylike. Hmmm. Sometimes I bake cookies for my roommates. Domestic, no? But non-gendered domesticity for sure...it would be laydlike OR gentlemanly. Just in case you thought I was slipping into sexist prose.
