Methinks, with all that wiretapping et al going on Dumb Dubya may not be so dumb afterall. Did anyone stop to think he may have accessed enough incriminating material on each and every member of that do-nothing House to whip them all in line? Considering his pedigree and his family's it should be pretty clear that perhaps the original targets for his wiretap program may have been, in all reality Senators and Congressmen and before they even woke to the reality on ground it was too late for them to scream HELP being the corrupt goons that they all are!!! I won't hold my breath for January cos Pelossi can't walk that distance all alone. Question is; why is Congress sitting on its fat, big ass while GW goes on the rampage?

More than a bit, but I don't mind hot weather. I'm NOT a cold weather person. I checked Bozeman Montana's temperature earlier this evening--8 degrees below zero. That's cold, and it's not even December yet. Obviously, global warming hasn't hit Bozeman yet. Dubya has two more years left in office, so Bozemanites can look forward to warmer temperatures--that's for sure. John Zooey,

Yeah, your summer climate is most likely a bit better than here. More than a bit, but I don’t mind hot weather. I’m NOT a cold weather person.

I checked Bozeman Montana’s temperature earlier this evening–8 degrees below zero. That’s cold, and it’s not even December yet.

Obviously, global warming hasn’t hit Bozeman yet. Dubya has two more years left in office, so Bozemanites can look forward to warmer temperatures–that’s for sure.
