In a move that surprised no one on the face of the earth, Monday George Bush commuted the sentence of old pal Lewis "Scooter" Libby, convicted of lying and obstructing justice in a CIA-leak case. This is not exactly the same as a complete pardon, but when asked if that might eventually happen, Bush replied, "I rule nothing in or nothing out."
In more patriotic news, Minnesota has passed a law stating that flags sold in the state have to be US-made but they stopped short of requiring all flag-holders to be Christian.
And locally there is still no agreement in talks between grocery store chains and union workers. I fear a strike is impending.
The grocery workers strike in 2003 went on for nearly 5 months and one risked harrassment if one went through the picket line to purchase some turkey sausage or shampoo/conditioner.
