Hmmm, interesting conversation you ladies have going on.

First to address the link Smile provide - it is a blog quote of the same article in the link she provided in support of Bush's actions. You can see my comments on that article in one of my previous posts.

Pattyann and Casey, as usual your comments show outstanding insights.

My search of today's news provided nothing new on the subject. Though, in defense of Mr. Bush I did come across one article that indicates a possible good judgement on his part, specifically, read the following:


Chief Justice Roberts wins early praise
Lighter tone, camaraderie at U.S. Supreme Court
By Bill Mears

Of course, it's still too early to know for sure, and this is a side bar to our discussion, but it appears that he may have picked a good chief justice. (It would be ironic if this Bush problem goes to the Supreme Court and Chief Justice Roberts was one of the justices to find him guilty.)

And lastly, I am a writer by profession. As such, much of my time is spent developing my craft and peddling the results. Lately, I have spent so much time on this thread that it has interferred with this work. Yesterday, for example, finding stories, weeding through them, making comments and responding to comments took from 10 am to 9:50 pm. It left no time for the other things that are important to me. (Thank goodness my husband is an excellent cook.)

All of us have to eat - so for now, I have to take temporary leave of this thread and start doing some major peddling. January is one of the best times to do this.

So, enjoy the discussion, and if there is something that you absolutely need me to comment on, send a private message and I will do my best to oblige. I'll be back as soon as I'm done.
