• Scooter Libby says his "superiors" authorized him to leak classified information (not necessarily Valerie Plame's identity). His superior? Vice President Dick Cheney.
• 2005 saw the biggest trade deficit in US history. Remember when the US still made stuff?
• Brownie is dropping a dime on the Homeland Security Department and the Bush Administration for their post-Katrina clusterfuck.
• In case you missed it in my previous post, the Bush administration knew about the levee breaks in New Orleans well before they admitted.
• Republicans are scurrying like rats away from Bush's Social Security-slashing budget.
• Bill O'Reilly told Rev. Al Sharpton he'd like to see him "in chains" before he dies.

Ugly, indeed...
