Dancing. Something that most places don't do very well at all. If Rove is indicted, I'll post it here and publicly state that I was wrong. But I don't believe that's going to happen. orperhaps it will be in the next "24 hours". But not really 24 hours, I mean 24 business hours.

orperhaps it will be in the next “24 hours”. But not really 24 hours, I mean 24 business hours. But since that timeline has expired, I mean.. well, I didn’t really mean 24 hours, I meant….

Truthout never said that the indictment is public or even final, and they are standing behind their story: <a href="http://forum.truthout.org/blog/story/2006/5/17/125248/099" rel="nofollow">Update on the Rove Indictment Story</a>. You impune the credibility of others by conjecture, you try to discredit a whole group of people who are trying to bring to light the dastardly deeds that the current adminstration have perpetrated on our nation and the world. You'll probably blithely ignore the final outcome of this because the truth just won't fit your sadly twisted world view. But I urge you, when the truth is brought to light, please examine your political allegiance and finally start supporting the people. Enough is enough.

(I have to respond here, because the comment form for that post is now closed.) The comment states that I accurately expressed the Pope's view on a smaller Church with less style and grace than the Pope would have done so. I plead guilty. I certainly have my own unique measure of style and grace in writing, but the Pope's is certainly superior to mine. I hope, in time, that I will pick up some of the Pope's superior style and grace of expression. Maybe, that's why I keep reading his works, which I highly recommend to all.

Writing for a liberal blog is an open declaration of bias, so disclosure of said bias is a forgone conclusion. My biggest problem with his article was his statement that Rove was given 24 hours to get his affairs in order. This is inconsistent with this type of indictment in which the accused is released and it is inconsistent with the manner in which Libby's indictment went down. People following this case for years have become accustomed to such wild speculation. Still hoping, though.
