I have really been waiting for this to happen: The CIA officer whose identity was leaked to reporters sued Vice President Dick Cheney, his former top aide and presidential adviser Karl Rove on Thursday, accusing them and other White House officials of conspiring to destroy her career. In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, […]
Every time I read articles like this I remember that old SchoolHouse Rock cartoon, back in the day when we had real Saturday morning cartoons, teaching all the young kids how a bill becomes a law. I then wish I had a copy of that to send to the White House because they evidently missed […]
