We live in a strange world.
From the news today: In response to a mounting scandal over the firing of federal prosecutors for failing to prosecute enough Democratic candidates and political targets, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has said that "
mistakes were made," presumably by space aliens or some other third party.
Halliburton, the contractor formerly run by now-VP Dick Cheney, and recipient of over $25B in no-bid Iraq contracts (several of which are under investigation for things like fraudulent cost overruns) has announced that it plans to
move its corporate headquarters to Dubai. Predictably, people are not amused.
And Israel recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found
drunk and wearing nothing but bondage gear and a ball gag in the embassy complex. (You know, Israeli politics is just fascinating some days...)
