As the head of the newly formed Committee to Replace Sarah Palin, and on behalf of the Republican Party, I would like to apologize to our base for nominating a person so unprepared for being Vice President that she is unable to even talk to the press. To demonstrate our respect for our faithful base, we would like to replace her with someone more accessible.

Can Congress search executive offices?

Is Congress really a co-equal branch of government? From today's NYT about the search of Representative William J. Jefferson's congrssional office by the FBI:

He [Gonzales] and other officials suggested that the search had been made necessary by a lack of response to an earlier subpoena. "We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the Department of Justice is doing its job in investigating criminal wrongdoing, and we have an obligation to the American people to pursue the evidence where it exists," Mr. Gonzales said.

Using the same reasoning, Congress as a co-equal branch of government should be able to raid an executive office if they don't comply with a subpoena. As delicious as this sounds in the case that the Democrats take control of one of the houses in the next election, I think this sort of behavior opens a can of worms that would not be good in the long run.
