Jason Leopold has one hell of a story posted at t·r·u·t·h·o·u·t. He’s a good investigative reporter [though he doesn’t bat 1000%]. The story is about Cheney and his Energy Task Force right after his 2001 inauguration. It’s too complex to summarize quickly, but it’s about suppression of an investigation of the California Energy Crisis in 2000/2001 and Cheney’s direct participation in a real, honest to goodness, crime. I’ll get back to it later, but it’s worth a read in full [speaking of the big black hole in Cheney’s moral standards]…
I returned from Eastern Europe with a lousy cold, which I’m treating by blogging. It keeps my mind off of the ague and sputtering. I’ve always said the only thing that helps a cold is whining. I apologize if I’m too whiny.
Also of Interest, M. and welcome home.
