LA Galaxy

Tonight the LA Galaxy drew 1-1 with the San Hoser Earthquakes, sending the 'Quakes crashing out of the competition. The Galaxy win on aggregate 4-2 and will next face the Colorado Rapids in the Western Conference finals. They will face either DC United and their spoiled little brat bitch Freddie Adu, or the New England Revolution. I personally hope the final is Galaxy v Revs.
Indicted

Scooter Libby's reign of terror appears to just about be finished. Hopefully more indictments are to follow, as Fitzgerald continues to follow the strands of the web all the way back to the spider. Much spin has been devoted to somehow havering over the issue of whether prosecuting Libby for lying about something that is not a crime, is worthwhile, as if Libby is somehow being unfairly hounded. Shall we remind everyone what the Clinton investigation brought to light, how it hamstrung the Clinton administration, cost Gore the election, and led to this sorry state of affairs where Chimpy is in charge? If for no other reason than to send the cockroaches and sewer rats running back to their holes, we need Fitzgerald to pursue this thing to its bitter (or sweet) end. Rove's head is on the chopping block, and we hope the ax falls. Can anyone deny that Rove's brand of political viciousness, where every issue is a winner take all game where no compromise can be brooked, has tarnished and damaged America's political system? Any advisor whose advice is that a barely elected president should immediately and without restraint seek to ramrod the most controversial elements of his party's platform regardless of any bipartisan support, should be removed from office. Nearly half the country has always been against Bush and his policies, so how can this president pretend that he has a mandate? How can any leader automatically ignore half his constituents? Clinton ruled from the center, Bush rules from he extremist wing. With each passing month, Bush's presidency is more riddled with incompetence, cronyism, malfeasance, fraud, and contempt for America. Come on Mr Fitzgerald, hand out those indictments!
