I think he's out providing and maintaining a navy or something
I noticed this yesterday during a quick Google News scan:
What the fuck? Do they even bother trying to find good excuses for their cover-ups anymore? Or did they just chop the Constitution into random phrases that they draw out of a bucket? “Oh, sorry, President Bush can’t testify because, um, no person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years.”
The 10-member [9-11 investigation] panel had invited [National Security Adviser Condoleeza] Rice to testify. She declined, with the White House citing concerns about separation of powers.

Singing in other people's bathrooms
OK, my throat isn’t really sore anymore. I’ve still got that voice-thickening phlegm; I did a bitchin’ rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody Knows” in the bathroom of the Starbucks at 17th and Broadway.
I was in the mood for a small sketchbook, so I picked up a Moleskin unlined notebook at AI Friedman, figuring that the paper might be more absorbent than their sketchbooks (which don’t take ink very well). It is, but the pages are so thin that stuff shows through. Feh. I might just go make my own sketchbook, now that I can afford to get a hunk of watercolor paper.
