I just don't want this post to roll off the bottom before everybody sees it. So, I'll keep reposting links at top throughout the weekend.

Rove informs White House he will be indicted!!!
.

Everyone in the White House will be indicted if the Democrats get control of Congress in November. But Jeb Bush will then pull rank and grant them all a free pardon.

This is off topic, but Newsweek has a new poll out today showing 53% think the NSA spying program goes too far in invading people's privacy while 41% see it as a necessary tool to fight terrorism. The poll also found 57% think the administration has gone too far in expanding presidential powers while only 38% think the administration's actions are appropriate.

I don't know if it will do this, but this poll ought to change some of the CW that Americans are backing Bush on the surveillance/spying program. I do know it makes me feel a little better about America than I did yesterday when I saw the Post/ABC News poll.

Yeah, I didn't write about it on the front page, but there were a whole lot of questions about the wording on that WaPo "flash poll" that showed support. Most of the claims of support for the program were based on that poll. (I'm really glad that there's better data out there.

Greyhair linked one of the better criticisms of the WaPo poll.
