Sounds like a bunch of HH (happy horsefeathers) to me. Risen is probably making things up on rumors he has heard, and how would he know what GW said to GHWB unless he was on the phone, what an idiot.
Well said!
It will be more than interesting IF he is called in on the leak scandal, and IF he tells the truth, and IF he ends up in jail if he doesn't. Phantom sources can destroy a reputation too.
:-) Thanks for the photos! They look fabulous! I ate neither of those. The cake I had was a yeasted loaf with candied fruit and had a marzipan center and had powdered sugar.
It is very good that I am not in vicinity of either of those very yummy cakes :-)
:-)
Howie is national though, isn't he?
Good that you are moving to someplace that you like.
This covers your freshman year. How did you do as a sophmore?
ROFLOL
Just watched the Jane Harmon (D. CA, House Intelligence Committee) interview and it strikes me that we are back to the same old argument, of trying to impose absolute law and order on a completely lawless enemy. The Democrats complained before about CIA Agents doing business with criminals; the fact is, that's where you get the intelligence from. Jane's stuck on going through the FISA Court in every instance, and it's obvious that you cannot do that in every instance; not even within the 72 hour limit.
They seem to be caught in an endless loop, and keep acting like 9/11 never happened.
I just reread the post about Barney frank, and "innuendo" and I about fell on the floor, not laughing but snickering. Then I roared laughing and thought to myself that, that was written just for "Rush" to say.
Wonder if Aberoff was involved??

US Tribes Cite Pressure to Give More to DNC
WASHINGTON (Reuter) - Two small Native American tribes which donated $107,000 to the Democratic National Committee last year say they have faced pressure to donate even more money and hire high-profile consultants with close ties to the White House, the Washington Post reported Monday.
The newspaper quoted tribal officials as saying that Nathan Landow, a longtime fund-raiser for Vice President Al Gore had been seeking to represent the Cheyenne-Arapaho Indians of Oklahoma, touting his access to top administration aides.
The officials said they hoped their initial donation would result in favorable administration action on the return of their tribal lands, but instead they have been asked for more campaign contributions.
Last month, tribal leaders said Landow explicitly warned that if the tribes did not sign a contract with him, he would make sure they never got their land. He also arranged for the lobbying firm of Clinton/Gore campaign manager Peter Knight to represent the tribes.
Knight's firm is seeking a $100,000 retainer plus $10,000 a month for its representation. Landow has proposed that his Bethesda development company get 10 percent of all royalties from mineral rights on the land, which the tribes predict could ultimately be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, according to the newspaper report.
After the tribal leaders agreed to make a donation they were invited to a lunch at the White House, where they raised the issue of the land claim with President Clinton. They also met with Gore at two receptions for big donors, the Post said.
Tribal spokesman Tyler Todd said the tribes had received at least three calls for donations in the past few weeks.
The Post quoted Landow denying that he touted his access to the administration. He said tribe members were first brought to him in December and he listened to their concerns to "be polite." He acknowledged sending the tribes a consulting contract, but said he "never had any intention" to follow through on the proposal.
It quoted Knight as saying he has had little to do with the tribes and knows nothing about Landow touting influence with the administration.
He said his partner was negotiating a lobbying arrangement with the tribes, but he would not be involved.
Tribal leaders have been seeking the return of 7,500 acres within their reservation taken by the federal government in 1869 for a military fort, Fort Reno.
Landow denied any suggestion that he threatened the tribes, the Post said.

Logics and democrats just is not a good fit. One of my favorite lines to anybody trying to refute Dems, is "hit em with logic", they look foolish every time you use logic because they do not believe in logic, they believe in LIEgic.
Well I'll be. And they are shocked, shocked at what Abramoff was up to. There is so much dirt in that city, maybe we could just bulldoze it and start over.
