Cheating with multiple posts ...

... so that I can post multiple pictures. At right is Washington, D.C. If I haven't mentioned this before, one of my most favorite things to do is to look at satellite pictures of stuff. Like Somalia. The ocean. Fallujah. Northern Canada. Cuba. The Panama Canal. On and on. Name something, I've looked at it via satellite. LOVE THAT STUFF!! The CIA should hire me to sit at home watching you on satellite. * (In case one day you decide to take a dirty bomb outside with the morning trash.)

* Instead they pay me to make folks like Warren Buffett nervous.

Anyway, to cheat and post more pictures, I am feeding you the news you should chew in multiple posts. Here is Post No. 1. Picture of Washington, D.C. Goes with these stories for a change.

Text: Bush’s Message to the House of Representatives / Following is the text of President Bush’s message to the House of Representatives about his veto of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. “To the House of Representatives: I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 2082, the “Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008.” The bill would impede the United States government’s efforts to protect the American people effectively from terrorist attacks and other threats because it imposes several unnecessary and unacceptable burdens on our Intelligence Community.”
