Transfixed as I've become by the new empire spreading out of Washington, I offer some empirical news bits that have recently drawn my attention.

President Bush, who for now has resisted accepting the "emperor" title and its crown and scepter, gave a speech last week to a select group of admirers in Lexington, Kentucky. It was one of those unilateral orations about his Iraq war and related subjects, such as the patriotic, secret spying on Americans that he authorized shortly after the 9-11 terrorist attack.

Of course, it's no longer secret, because the treasonous New York Times outed the covert operation on December 16. But the president has acted swiftly, ordering a secret investigation into that heinous act. More reporters may be going to jail. The president says no mercy will be shown to those who comfort the enemy.

On December 27th, at 11:31 in the morning to be precise, agents of the Homeland Security Department detained me at Miami International Airport and proceeded to impound a speech I was supposed to deliver in Washington, D.C. to a plenary session of the Modern Language Association of America.

Well, not quite.

As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft waited on a launch pad at Cape Canaveral to embark on a nine-and-a-half year mission to Pluto, Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) took to the floor of the House of Representative to propose sending former lobbyist Jack Abramoff on the first manned mission to that mysterious planet.

Explosive new evidence shows that Alito devised legal strategies to dismantle and eventually overturn Roe v. Wade. He has even written that "the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion."

Comment: Another really handy site for voicing your opinion. SOtT sampled it, it took less than 3 minutes to fill out the form and submit. Of course, we added "While you're at it, arrest George W. Bush for Treason" at the end of the prepared letter... <^^>
