Found something good for them that doesn't hurt the lawn.. dried potato flakes.. (instant mashed potatoes).. sprinkle all around and on the mound, the stir up the mound.. wait about an hour or two, then mist the mound with water hose (not too much, enough where they will store up on water..)

May take a couple of times but it seems to work..

[Howlin]

I bet he will!

[gov_bean_ counter]

I'm guessing Victoria wasn't a Democrat invite.

[redgirlinabluestate]

I thought so.

[Mo1]

LOL ... good guess

[carenot]

since the Libby trial, the White House is too scared to fire back with the truth.

Are you saying that President Bush is afraid to argue with her?
Do you think President Bush is a coward?

[Howlin]

They are going to get her off as soon as they can.

[pitinkie]

Waxman stunned that Victoria knows Plame wasnt a covert agent

[jaycee]

SHE IS JUST 'TOO SMART' FOR THEM. SHE CAN DISH IT OUT AND THEIR BRAINS CANNOT ABSORB IT FAST ENOUGH (IF THEY ARE DEMS.)

[Mo1]

Zaid says he agrees the CIA should be there to answer questions

Waxman up tearing into Victoria

[STARWISE]

Waxman stunned at Toensing's conclusions.

Give him HELL, Victoria!!

[AliVeritas]

Waxman's screwing up bad now... badgering.


Hayden told him she was covert... under the act or for payroll purposes.

[tiredoflaundry]

Waxman is losing it!

[Mo1]

Go Victoria!!

You Go Girl!!

"Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald told reporters outside the courtroom that Americans ought to be glad that justice was done, but the 47-year-old Brooklyn native seemed mostly relieved his involvement in the case was all but over."

We may be splitting hairs, but has Fitzgerald officially closed down the special prosecutor office on this case?

[Txsleuth]

Waxman is BERATING Toensing..and keeping her from answering any question.

[pitinkie]

Waxman is pissed at her..Rove leaked it he says and why the narrow meaning of covert? He is yelling

[Proudcongal]

Toensing for President. She is really giving it to them. Bringing out the ugliness and rudeness of Waxman & Co. too!

[top 2 toe red]

Lordy, I do, too! Wonder if she would run for president?!?

[angkor]

Here we go Victoria says, "she's not covert under the act", Waxman is arguing with her.

Waxman wants her to use his words, his defintions. Like "covert" under the law (Vostoria) is different than "coverty" according to waxman.
