How AG Gonzo takes the power back.
Thank you, Arlen Specter. [/sarcasm]
Turns out Sen. Specter added a provision to the Patriot Act that allows Gonzales to replace U.S. Attorneys with whomever he desires, without his appointees going through the previously standard Senate confirmation. An appointee (as a result of a firing or retiring) used to have to be confirmed by the Senate within 120 days; if not, district court judges would select someone.
Gonzo's problem with that? District court judges have "tended" to appoint their friends to these positions. Wow.
Thank you, Paul Krugman (yeah, TimesSelect, yo)!!!

Very tough talk from Mommy's basement.
The only fun in "Shaolin" (nice try at being "hard," failure!) is "Guess What That Rotting Smell Is." Oh, and you do have a very nice mall there. But that's about it, pal.

One word in your comment says it all. "Nigger."
Then again, I'm not surprised, coming from you. If you only knew, brother... if you only knew.

TC, trying to talk tough from his mother's basement. Either one of us, could smash your face in, we are way more gangsta than you, you priviliged little effiminated, pillow biting neo-con flunkie. TC is one of those pimply face sissies who never saw the vagina in high school, was rejected by his peers, and now thinks he is tough by flaunting "anarchy" symbols. Your barking up the wrong tree, TC, you do not want to be tasting the cold pavement courtesy of the Evil Liberals. Stick to the Maloney blog, where you can bite the pillow as he rams it in.
