Whomever Outed Valerie Plame - In Prison

Oh, wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if whomever was responsible for releasing Valerie Plame’s name to the press was held responsible?  Why would anyone think releasing an undercover CIA agent’s name was the right thing to do?  Not only does it endanger the agent, but every single person she has ever worked with, in countries where we need informants.  Why would anyone want to trust any agent after that, when their very life is at stake?  Also, why the heck is Robert Novak, who printed her name, getting a free pass on this?  Okay, it’s bad to give an undercover agent’s name to the press, but isn’t it even worse to publish that name?

Of course, after reading Blowing My Cover: My Life as a CIA Spy by Lindsay Moran, the quality of the CIA’s work is a bit suspect anyway, but that’s no reason to name them all.  Or, any of them, actually.

Okay, enough about politics.  Let’s talk about us (me and Leigh-Ann) and how so very happy we are the 4th of July is over.  Sure, at 5:23am today, there were some firecrackers and then a few more at dusk, but we’ve safely made it through another year of the terrified German Shepherd…with a little help from 10mg (we upped it last night) of Xanax for her.  That and the Comfort Zone Diffusers seemed to help her a little this year.  She actually was able to enter the back yard for a few minutes at a time.  Any improvement over her trembling and peeing in the house is oh so very welcome.

Okay, on to tv.  Anyone else watch the craptastic Being Bobby Brown on Bravo?  It’s so bizarre that I can’t help but to watch.  Plus, with TiVo zipping through all of the commercials, it’s actually very short.  Leigh-Ann says we’re each allowed one craptastic tv show (hers is “MTV’s The ‘70s House” ), so BBB is mine.  Hey, I’m countering it by reading a book about math geniuses before I go to bed.  That must count (heh, I said count) for something.

Oh wait, one more thing - one of my referrers was from a Google search of “tissue Tito Jackson”, where I’m ranked second.  How great is that?  “Tito, get me a tissue.”

Next entry: Idiot of the Day - Jeb Bush Previous entry: It's The 4th of July - Wheee

1. I have not seen either of your craptastic tv shows, but I am going to look up The ‘70’s house.  That sounds interesting!

   ROTFLMAO at those Google search terms!
