Well lots of things have happened this week, but I didn't get a chance to mention one thing last week. Last week the top execs of the nation's oil companies testified before congress. Well unlike when baseball stars of today and yesterday testified before congress about stuuuurroids in baseball, these top execs were NOT asked to testify under oath. Why you ask? Well maybe because of this:

Oil Chiefs Asked to Clarify Some Remarks

"The chief executives of five major oil companies were asked Wednesday to clarify their recent Senate testimony about the companies' involvement in Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force four years ago.

Sens. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., and Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., made the request in letters to the executives after a published report said officials from four of the companies visited the White House complex in early 2001 to discuss energy issues with task force staff members.

The White House has refused to disclose contacts with industry representatives concerning the task force deliberations.

When Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., asked last week during a hearing on oil industry profits whether any of the companies' representatives had participated in the task force, four of the executives said they did not and the fifth said he did not know."

Yeah New Mexico and New Jersey REPRESENT!! Oh ok back to the point. The point is why the hell were these people allowed to testify not under oath? Why? Because the republican congress was trying to protect them. Why? Because the oil industry is lining their pockets.

Our democracy is dead folks. And the people in power want to drag it out into the street and run it over again just to be sure. Keep your eyes open, things are going to get ugly.
