Hagrid is in the House!

Outraged yet?

Karl Rove, defying a congressional subpoena to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on the attorney firing scandal, has fled the country, without notifying congress:

And, just in case the Democrats grow a spine, and hold him in contempt, he's apparently gone to Ukraine, a country without an extradition treaty with the U.S. How convenient.


And, in other news, reports are now surfacing that the International Red Cross has taken the position that the Bush administration has engaged in torture, and any administration official who ordered torture can be held liable for war crimes:

Buckle your seat belts. I have a feeling this ride is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

As I wrote last week, my sister Nettie is a U.S. Army EMT/medic, whose unit in Kentucky was called up to assist in relief efforts in New Orleans.

After several days of having all their gear packed up, ready to go, just awaiting the go order, they were told to stand down.

I guess they just weren't needed after all.

At least Mom is helping out with the Red Cross.

I'm going back to bed.
