It's Friday. It's currently overcast here in DC. The temperature is 43F, though it really feels more like 30F.

UPDATE: Powerline has the foreshadowing of the impending Rathergate report covered. I'm tabling comment until I actually read it, but Hindrocket's predictions are uncomfortably logical.

An old detective friend of mine told me once that he learned from the liars and cheats he constantly dealt with that there was only one way to lie. For example, if you were caught red-handed cheating by your girlfriend or wife you were simply to deny everything and just say it never happened. No explanations or anything like that. That just invites more questions and makes you look more guilty. Just simply say it didn't happen. And keep on saying that everytime you are asked. After a while she begins to doubt her own sanity and beings to wonder if it really did happen. CBS's modus operandi......and MSM's in general once they got caught with their pants down....

Prepare for a whitewash of magnitude 9.0 on the Corey Pein scale. No discussion of why CBS failed to present the views of adverse witnesses or experts, or why they used the clown witnesses and experts that they did. Most likely they'll declare the authenticity of the documents to be "irrelevant" without reaching a judgment even as to the weight of the evidence.

But the story behind the documents were true. It shouldn't matter that everything that backs up this "story" is false and made up. Dan Rather says so....

And just because I'm feeling mean today. Here in Hawaii it's 85F, sunny. Maybe I should leave work and go to the beach.

Stay warm guys ;)

come on down here. It's 62 and feels like 62. Just a 4.5 hour drive....

Well, caltech girl, 62 is nice, but here...

it's a balmy 72 in the shade.
