Executive Privilege: Next Stop, Supreme Court.
New York Times reports that Chief-of-Staff Bolton and former White House Counsul Miers are NOT immune from congressional subpoenas regarding the U.S. Attorneys scandal.  They had claimed Executive Privilege.  A Federal Judge has overruled, and an appeal Supreme Court is certain.

No More PNAC?

The Project for the New American Century, the semi-official think tank home of Neoconservatism, no longer has a working website.  Contact the billing department — your thinking is bankrupt. oh snap, nice pun.

"Junk on the Hill" UPDATE

Tumblr readers may remember a particularly narcissitic post from a couple of weeks ago, about a book called “Junk on the Hill,” which named Joe Posner. The post included extensive quote from an online article about the book.  I linked to that article, which is freely available from the Thrilling Detective website.

Two important new facts have come to light:

• First, I should mention that the author of the article, also named Joe Posner, has contacted me and asked for clearer citation.  I hadn’t seen that another JP wrote it, else I definitely would have mentioned it. Nevertheless, I’ve been threatened with a brutal, physical beat down if I don’t clear things up a bit. Obviously that’s difficult when the subject of the article is a fictional Joe Posner, the original author is an older Joe Posner, and me, a young Joe Posner is tumblogging about the whole thing.  Anyways, follow the links and put the story together. It’s fun!  Long story short though, it’s important you know an older, more California based, and very funny guy named Joe Posner wrote that article I quoted and linked to.

• Even more exciting news, a guy I work for saw the book on my desk and mentioned he knows the author, Jeremy Pikser.  I can’t wait to chase that guy down.

• But more importantly, I now have the book!  It’s sort of hard to read this book, but I’ll do my best and report back!

Love, joe (the young, non-fictional, mostly pacifist one)
