MSNBC's Chris Matthews appeared was on Don Imus' show this morning and said that Karl Rove could be indicted today.
Transcript:
MATTHEWS: If, however, something happens with Karl Rove, we're going to go to general quarters around here.
IMUS: What does that mean?
MATTHEWS: Meaning we will be taping probably on Saturday or late night because everything will change. Last time, when he picked up Scooter, when he nailed him 30 years of charges, that happened on 1:00 on a Friday. So we don't know when it might happen, if it's going happen.
IMUS: Are we expecting something with Karl Rove today?

Cal Perry, of CNN reports that 17,500 US Soldiers have been wounded in Iraq'Life and death every day' for Iraq medics

In Iraq, roughly 17,500 U.S. troops have been wounded, and nearly 2,500 have been killed. The survival rate is significantly higher than in previous wars, and much credit goes to those working to save lives in places such as the 10th Combat Support Hospital.
"If you look at the overall death rate ... the case fatality rate is cut in half from Vietnam to now. And again I think that's due to better training, tactical combat casualty training," said Col. John Holcomb, the senior surgeon at the hospital.

I remember a long article a few month ago in USA about the higher ration of brain injuries in the Iraq War compared to the Vietnam War, and three theories were advanced. Read More

We believe our noble Democratic Party has strong core principles, values, and historic commitments to highly valued constituent voters such as woman, people of color, ethnic and religious minorities, the poor, the disabled, the elderly, retired, those without basic health care, veterans, and underdogs in our political system such as immigrants, and the gay, lesbian, transgendered communities.

The Democratic and Republican parties have been locked and a five decades long battle between what rights are sacrosanct to the individual -- and what powers can be exercised by the state. And what is the role of the Government in protecting individual rights and the common good.

The Democratic party has staked out the moral high ground in our commitments to the constitutionally based principles of the separation of church and state, the right to privacy, protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, and the principles of full equality and protections of individual rights.

Until this latest conference of the Retro UFO Space Convention at the Intregration in the Mojave desert many of us have thought tin foil hats were our best protection against space aliens or Rovian NSA agents trying to read our minds and discover our secret battleplans for our vast left wing conspiracy to instill progressive values into American voters before the 2006 elections. But Bette Rinehart ,of the LA Times open our eyes to the possibility that new, potentially more effective technologies, may becomin available. Foiling the Space Aliens.

For two weeks I've been thinking about aluminum foil. The problem is that my thoughts should have been focused on tin foil because that, you see, is what purportedly provides the best shield against alien mind control. At least that's what I've read on the Internet.
This is not simply a matter of research. This weekend, I'll be chronicling in writing and on video the Retro UFO Space Convention at the Integratron in the Mojave Desert.

Is the Democratic Party committed to protecting a woman's right to choose? Do we have a set of foundational principles and commitments to certain core constituent voter blocks? I believe we do and we should. But we need to remind ourselves of what these principles are and why we should be more strongly committed to our core Democratic beliefs.

Last night, in jpol's diary supporting Chuck Pennacchio, an apparent pro-Casey comment caught my eye.

it's like you really want Casey to lose so that you can be self-righteous like the other pro-abortion fanatics on this board to talk about "the message" that no one cared about

We've heard things like this before. But, what was new for me last night, was to hear the additional charges that those of us who are Chuck Pennacchio supporters were selfish, extremist, marginal, fringe or single issue pro-abortion fanatics whom have tried to single handedly re-define what the word progressive means and impose it on the rest of the Democratic party.

Update 8:50PM EST: CIA Jury May Have Met This Morning To Discuss Possible Karl Rove Indictment See Below Fold

Imagine the Twilight Zone Music to get in the mood for these reports. "do di do du do di do du." Seesdifferent asks in his funny piece Vanity Fair: Is Cheney Nuts? Vanity Fair editor Todd Purdum tells us that Dick Cheney travels with a chemical-biological warfare protection suit available at all times.

But Purdum has missed the possible explanation, that Dick Cheney is in fact sane (at least in this regard), and just has had advance knowledge of what I reported last night, that chemical pesticides are reducing penis size. Penis Size Shrinking Due To Environmental Pollution. (Poll) (Rated R for Mature Subject Matter) Hey nasty estrogenic pesticides, don't even think about shriveling Dick Cheney's manhood. It is protected 24/7.

Attytood picks up on the paranoia angle in Don't fear "the Jackal": The growing paranoia of Dick Cheney.

Renowned scientist Louis Guillette announced research today indicating that pesticide pollution is causing a reduction in penis size and increasing the numbers of male genital abnormalities due to chemical similarity to estrogen. In his penetrating report, Pesticides may affect penis size, John Miner tells us that:

A renowned U.S. scientist who has documented fertility and sex changes -- including decreasing penis size -- due to environmental contamination says he wouldn't apply pesticides on his own lawn.
Delivering a special series of lectures this week at the University of Western Ontario, Louis Guillette has been drawn into London's lawn-care debate during question periods and talk-show interviews.

Frank Rich, of the New York Times, publishes a column this morning, called "Bush of A Thousand Days" asserting that the Downing Street Memo has proven to be accurate. Available To NYT Select Subscribers Here While this is not news to Daily Kos readers, the credibility and impact of Frank Rich's somber and devastating conclusions about President George Bush's pre-war Iraq intelligence deceptions will have quite an impact on mainstream readers. Excerpts are available to nonsubscribers at the Raw Story website. This article alone is worth the price of today's paper. Frank Rich: Downing Street memo 'proved accurate' Raw Story reports:

After a three month hiatus, Frank Rich returns to the New York Times with a column slated for Sunday's edition which asserts that "[e]ach week brings new confirmation" that the Downing Street memo leaked last May has proved accurate. Excerpts from Rich's column:
The Downing Street memo -- minutes of a Tony Blair meeting with senior advisers in July 2002, nearly eight months before the war began -- has proved as accurate as "Mission Accomplished" was fantasy.

In an apparent attempt to win the "Too Little Too Late Award For Understatement" Republican Representative Christopher Shays expresses concern that unless Republicans refocus quickly they may lose their stellar reputation for moral leadership of the country and congress.

And I agree. A few more years of scandals and indictments like Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff, Duke Cunningham, Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, War Crimes like the destruction of Falluja, violations of the Geneva Conventions, Presidential lying to the public, Congress, and UN about pre-Iraq war intelligence, subversion of the US Constitution with illegal NSA wiretaps, prostitutes, political payoffs, Senate Committee Chairmen suppressing hearings and oversight functions and such and the American voters may become concerned. And start to question this famous GOP edge in moral leadership.

In House Lobbying Bill Still Alive, Jim Abrams of the Associated Press writes:

Twelve Republicans also opposed the measure to advance the bill. "I happen to believe we're losing our moral authority to lead this place," said Rep. Christopher Shays of Connecticut.

Here is a short sweet bedtime story for addicted Karl Rove addicts. So dreams of sugerplums dance in your heads. Tomorrow the Rove Grand Jury will meet again and RawStory reports that MSNBC reports Rove believes he is in legal jeopardy

Karl Rove has described his three and a half hour meeting with a grand jury as grueling, and is more worried about being prosecuted than ever, MSNBC is reporting. An MSNBC report tonight will reveal that one of Rove's lawyers said the presidential adviser described his fifth grand jury appearance as "hell." MSNBC's David Shuster is expected to be live on Keith Olbermann's 8pm show this evening, sources say.
The three and a half hour duration is considered highly unusual for a fifth appearance before a grand jury, Shuster reported. His report will re-air at 7pm EST. Also not boding well for Rove is the fact that the grand jury plans to meet tomorrow. Some are speculating that an indictment for Rove may be handed up tomorrow, though others have claimed such a fast turnaround time is unlikely.
