Cutting to the Chase
Ramblings on politics, film, music, literature, current events, pop culture, lists, dirty words, trapezoids, birds, cartoons and any other damned thing that strikes my synapses. A 39ish-year-old freelance journalist and writer living with his wife and baby daughter in the hardscrabble environs of Oklahoma, Chase McInerney now spends much of his time frozen in stark, cold sweat-inducing, gut-percolating fear. For it will be soon ... yes, very, very soon.

so who is everyone reading, watching, waiting for the indictments...or no indictments?
this is so frustrating. we've been building up to this for weeks. just get it over with.
the guy who sits next to me has read two items that say rove was offered a deal yesterday. this makes no sense to me because the prosecutor would have to be reaching up to make a deal. why flip rove on libby? doesn't make sense. you flip rove to go higher on the food chain. but i doubt the flip story is true, anyway.
prediction,anyone?
