Odds and Ends

I want the Haitian from 'Heroes' to wipe MC Rove from my mind. Until then, here's the news-

Sign that Pres. Bush is really, really unpopular? Even the Saudis are distancing themselves from him and his war. Too bad. I really thought those two crazy kids would make it.

More bad news for the GOP... new polls show growing support for the Democratic party.

And more bad news still. From the AP: "Contrary to his public statements, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was deeply involved in the firing of eight federal prosecutors, his former top aide said Thursday, adding that the final decision on who was to be dismissed was made by Gonzales and President Bush's former counsel."

And Sen. Kennedy senses a common theme among those fired... '08 election swing-states.

Moving on, Sen. Inhofe (R- Headinthesand) and his allies really want Al Gore to know they hate him. They're blocking plans to hold one of seven worldwide "Live Earth" concerts (in July) on Capitol grounds.

Secretary Gates: No, seriously... close Guantanamo Bay, please.

Finally, the no-shit headline of the day: 'Income Gap Is Widening, Data Shows'.
