In case you were all worried, I am back. I was gone most of last week. My friend Summer came to visit, and I took a break from the blog. I forgot to post that I would be gone, hopefully you all didn't miss me that much.

So what is going on in the world of politics? Well I don't know. I wasn't paying much attention. Well the Gaza pullout has begun.

As Gaza Pullout Starts, Sharon Warns Palestinians

"Prime Minister Ariel Sharon began his promised pullout from Gaza on Monday and threatened Palestinians with Israel's harshest response ever should they attack once settlers were evacuated."

Oh and then there is some new news in the Rove-gate scandal.

Rove and Ashcroft Face New Allegations in Plame Case

"Justice Department officials made the crucial decision in late 2003 to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the leak of the identity of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame in large part because investigators had begun to specifically question the veracity of accounts provided to them by White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove, according to senior law enforcement officials.

Several of the federal investigators were also deeply concerned that then attorney general John Ashcroft was personally briefed regarding the details of at least one FBI interview with Rove, despite Ashcroft's own longstanding personal and political ties to Rove, the Voice has also learned. The same sources said Ashcroft was also told that investigators firmly believed that Rove had withheld important information from them during that FBI interview."

No my Republican friends I will not let this story die. Mark my words, this is going to be big. It may have faded in the mainstream media, but it will be back to a top story when the special prosecutor releases his findings. Can't wait.

Smile my friends, I will be back tomorrow.
