The Bush Administration's criminal activity may not come to a complete end in January when the Democrats take over Congress, but many administration officials are getting out rather than be investigated and indicted. Administration appointees to the EPA are said to be leaving first. For those that stick it out, they will be able to hire the new "crisis management" firm created by two former Bush Administration officials from the Justice Department. Former department spokespersons Mark Corallo and Barbara Comstock are forming a law/PR firm — Corallo Comstock - to defend members of the administration under investigation. You can never accuse a Republican of not exploiting a good business opportunity, and defending Republicans accused of wrongdoing will be big business in 2007!
A member of the Parliament of Indoniesa is under investigation over a sex tape that has appeared on the internet. The legislator is seen in a one-minute video engaging in some type of sexual activity with a popular singer. The lawmaker is currently MIA, but the singer has admitted she made the tape with her cell phone.

Lead singer of The Cure, Robert Smith, is suffering writer's block. He has not been able to come up with any lyrics for the 30+ new songs the band has recorded for their next album. "I want them (the words) to mean something, it's not enough that they rhyme," Smith told Reuters in a recent interview. "I find myself stopping short and thinking I've done this before, and better." Yes, Bobby, you have. Maybe it's time to retire.
Right-wingers in this country have been whining for the last two years that the media only covers the violence in Iraq, and not all of the "good things" going on inside the war ravaged country. God forbid, someone should associate a war with violence! Anyway, one of the overlooked sections in the report from the Iraq Study Group says that the Bush Administration has engaged in "significant under-reporting of the violence in Iraq." Another right-wing myth bites the dust.

The Conservative Jewish Movement (the middle ground between the Orthodox and the liberal, Reform movements) has voted to allow gay rabbis and same-sex marriages. The decision was not unanimous, and was worded to allow individual congregations to decide for themselves if they were going to accept gay rabbis and gay marriages.

The Republican-led Congress had reduced the work week down to a mere three days during the last session. The Democrats have announced that they plan to return to a five-day work week (just like actual Americans have, I might add). Republicans, typically, whined about this new development, "Keeping us up here eats away at families," said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.). "Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families — that's what this says." Huh. So working five days a week causes families to suffer? Is that the new message of the GOP? I guess they are scrapping the "gay marriage destroys families" argument, and adopting the talking point that a 40-hour work week destroys families. Good call, guys. Do you think I could pull this at my job? Should I tell my boss that working more than three days in a week is hurting my family? How long do you think I'd still have that job?
