It would be nice if the surprise were "no suprise".
It could be that it is National Character Counts Week,
but it is not the first.
Could it be that Humor Counts? Check first link.
Or could it be that there will be a National Straight Face Week.
See link again, imagining Bush reading it.
Maybe it should be National Tow The Line Week.
Just what is the connection?
When the Foley scandal first broke, I thought that
there may be one "heckuva" closet caucus.
Now it is more about what is being purged and why.
Here is the less than tenuous(That would be nine-you-us) connection to the nine little words that scared Reagan.
"I'm from the government, and I'm here to help". He also had 3 little words that he liked but was quoting Lenin:
"Trust but verify."
The new nine:
"Just trust me, but don't ask, and don't tell".
They may purge voter roles and the closet caucus but with one party control our government is in the closet.
Actually with 12 words, it is more than tenuous.
"Just trust me, but don't ask, and don't tell, that's my job."
The Unitary Executive is a theory that seems more than controversial, but which is put to rest in the Military Commisions Act.
The irony is that while Wikipedia has an article which has it's neutrality in dispute; with the Institute for Public Accuracy has two views presented; and Findlaw has quite an extensive article, if it was more than just a theory, why the new law?
And why the closet image? It is really about "Power Broker Mountain".
If this is too much to read,
(and I never saw the movie, not that there was anything wrong with that)
the shortest read is Article II, section 2, PARAGRAPH TWO
of the constitution and see how much congress is responsible for the law and presidential powers, which now must come out of the closet.
Sections 3 and 4 are even shorter and thanks to fear and smear even deeper in the closet.
