4. Could explain * going to the Ranch in another thread here nt

[snappyturtle]

11. Exactly! n/t

[whistle]

5. Gone as in flew out under cover of darkness gone to a place unknown?

[Jack Rabbit]

6. Well, it is Friday and it's about ten minutes to 6 EDT.

And the Frat Boy went to the Pig Ranch this afternoon.

I don't know if this is accurate, but I wouldn't be too surprised.

[Ghost in the Machine]

7. Oh *PLEASE* let it be true! So I can do a happy dance before I go

to work. I'd LOVE to be able to tell my freeper cook that he's GONE-ZO!!

8. To what, the World Bank?

But seriously, folks, Georgie has to know that he's looking at an accessory to obstruction of governmental administration charge. It won't matter if he gave the order to Gone-zalez and Card to bypass Comey if he participated in the coverup of the investigation.

13. If it's true -- then Chimpie was afraid of *the stunt* he claimed Congress

was pulling?

I hope it's true, but until Congress gives Bush a big ole kick in the nuts about something, he's going to continue on his "Contempt Tour".
