A: the stock market goes down with great fanfare, but gas prices quietly dip

D: confirmation that torture came directly from the Bush-GOP White House

E: the aftermath of Ike has officially been swept aside. PS--don't talk about the Level 4 Biolab!

F: Somehow Paul Wolfowitz was able to get yet another government job (this time with the International Security Advisory Board)

G: revelations of how utterly incompetent translators are for detainees in Guantanamo Bay

H: Ted Stevens trial mostly ignored by GOP-controlled media

2. It really bothers me that none of the networks give any coverage

What else happened during the Friday night dump?

Oh, a good one I like was the donations for Bachmann's opponent!

7. All of the above, all of the above, all of the above....
And yet all we hear about is Bill Ayers and stupid Joe not-so-much the Plumber.

Ok, I'm better now. Tomorrow-- back to phone-banking and planning 1001 plain spaghetti dinners so I can keep donating to ActBlue, Obama, etc.!
