Less than a week after the FBI executed an unprecedented - yet fully warranted - raid on the office of a member of the House Ways and Means committee, the Senate "handed President Bush a pair of victories this morning, easily confirming his nominee for director of the Central Intelligence Agency and giving more narrow approval to a judicial nomination that had been stalled for three years." ~ NYT

That's not to say the incidents were related in any way. It's just not a sane proposition. Nor would it be within the realm of healthy thought to suggest that the alleged shooting incident inside the Rayburn garage that shut down the U.S. Capitol this morning had anything to do with anything. Sure Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Michigan, was conducting a House Intelligence Committee hearing at the time. But hey, I'm sure it's just another one of those wacky coincidences.

Tin foil hat time yet? Hell, make mine 2-ply.

This administration has proven time and again that it has no respect for the Constitution in any way shape or form. It has no fear of a corrupt, easily manipulated Congress, and it can crush the media with single blow. The Leviathan lives.
