Texas officials have been forced to admit that half of the so-called "underage mothers" from the FDLS raid are not minors, one is 27. Another "mother" is neither a mother nor pregnant. A Texas appeals court has ruled that the whole raid was illegal. And now it seems that the phone call that was purportedly made by a child in the FLDS compound was a hoax perpetrated by a 33 year old woman with a history of such things. This whole affair is starting to look as bungled as the Waco raid against the Branch Davidians, only without the dead ATF agents and the torching of scores of people.
Petraeus wants another half of a Friedman Unit before he can think about any troop reductions. Yeah, yeah, same old horseshit. "We can reduce troops soon." But "soon" never comes.
Congress can't even send the right copy of a bill to Bush's desk for his veto. That part of the job isn't rocket science, guys. That's a "Heckuvajob Brownie" level fuckup.
And finally, in a sartorially stunning move, Vice President Darth Cheney wore a cowboy hat when he spoke to the graduates of the Coast Guard Academy.
In case you are not aware of this, the Coast Guard Academy is in New London, Connecticut. Wearing a cowboy hat in New London is about as out of place as is having a conscience at a meeting of Bush's National Security Council.
Rove just got his subpeona!
