"A Good Many Things Go Around in the Dark Besides Santa Claus." (Herbert Hoover)


Michael (Mike) Connell (standing above left), the I.T. guy for Karl Rove and the Bush administration, the fellow who "lost" those Justice Department e-mails, who admitted that the 2004 vote in Ohio had been rigged, has died in a small plane crash, leaving a wife Heather and four children. Probably an accident, but certainly the most convenient death for an outgoing administration since William Casey slipped into a coma during the Iran-Contra affair.

See, I'd say I'd rather this happened to Bush or Cheney or Rumsfeld, but they'd just crawl out of their graves before the new year.

Fair enough, but it would increase employment amongst vampire hunters and zombie killers.

How convenient. Hey employment in Michigan alone is over 9%.
33 states are asking the Fed for money to cover the unemployment rolls.
