The waiting really is the hardest part.  That’s what’s driving me nuts right now.  Aaugh. 

In other news, it’s so wonderful to see our president is still making sure to take all the facts at hand and make an educated, nonbiased judgment based on information that is scientifically valid.  In amongst all of his other wonderful pronouncements yesterday supporting “intelligent design” (whatever the hell that is) and Karl Rove (ooh, I mentioned his name—did anyone else hear the coyote howl?), check out this little bit that ran in yesterday’s Washington Post following that interview:

“Rafael Palmeiro is a friend,” Mr. Bush said in an interview with the Knight Ridder news service. “He’s the kind of person that’s going to stand up in front of the klieg lights and say he didn’t use steroids, and I believe him. Still do.”

Yeah.  And Big Al said dogs can’t look up.  You believe everything you hear, Bushie?
