High Crime Pays! Big Time and No Time
George Bush took the July 4th week, with all the journalists on vacation, to declare independence for Scooter Libby. The All-Branches-In-One-In-Chief didn't even have the courage to face the nation, but chose to do it through a press release.

It's never too late to talk about the ramifications of the Virginia Tech massacre and how to avoid another similar occurrence, if at all possible.
