Which makes the White House failure to close the door on a veto all the more suspicious. ... P.S.: I'd say the weak response from the White House itself outweighs the earlier response from Patrick Ruffini of the RNC, which contains the magic sentence but appears to be relying on the ambiguous, weasely Bush CNN interview. But you make the call. ... P.P.S.: It seems clear, though, that the 10-day pocket veto clock hasn't started ticking yet. ... P.P.P.S.: See Captain Ed, who's convinced Bush is going to sign. ... Update: I realize I'm using the same methodology--'Why don't they just come out and say it clearly?'--that many experts used to conclude that Saddam had nuclear weapons. But Saddam had reasons for maintaining strategic ambiguity! Bush doesn't. ... 5:28 P.M. link Sunday, October 8, 2006 Is Bush going to sign the 700-mile border fence bill (the Secure Fence Act), passed with great fanfare by Congress a little over a week ago?

S.C. school-bus incidents | Driving a busload of stress
Two 16-year-old boys sexually assault a 14-year-old girl on a Berkeley County school bus after paying the driver $10 to look the other way. A once-beloved Gilbert school-bus driver sits in prison after confessing to sexually abusing girls as young as 7 on his bus. Such stories grab the headlines and paint a grim picture of the trek that more than 300,000 S.C. children take twice a day on a school bus. But the reality is the vast majority of them arrive at school and back home again safe and sound. Local schools lean heavily on statewide standards for training, hiring and checking the backgrounds of school-bus drivers to make sure children get to school safely.

Hey Thursday, Shut Up
And I don't even care that Barry Bonds was indicted. Yawn. So what? Somebody wake me up when they take him to jail. 275 Million Dollars for ten years. That is the craziest thing I have ever heard in my life. I don't even think the Yankees really even want him playing for them. The Yanks and ARod. They're just like that nauseating High School Lovers thing. You know, the ugly couple that fought all the time, but could never end the relationship because they had what they thought was pretty good sex. Then one day they got older and realized that the sex was actually never really that good. Well, in this case, money is the sex, and PayRod is really good at accepting it and using it to buy cheesy, expensive suits, while the Yankees are fantastic at handing it out.
