Anybody else sick of this garbage?

I'm not saying this as a liberal, or a Democrat, but as an American.
Is anyone else following the "Scooter" Libby investigation?
How much garbage are we supposed to believe here?
My favorite portion of this article (aside from its mention of "Wilson" in the second, third, and fourth paragraphs without identifying Joseph Wilson until the eighth paragraph, but I digress...) is where it says "Libby's defense team is expected to argue that any discrepancies in what Libby told investigators stem from his difficult role as a busy government official distracted by urgent national security matters."
"Urgent national security matters"? It's my belief that "Keeping Mum About CIA Operatives' Identities" might fall under "National Security Matters". Perhaps not of the "Urgent" kind, but still, that should be one of those things one keeps in mind at all times. Don't you think?
Even someone like me, who has no common sense (ask around), thinks that the timing of the leak (7/14/03) comes a little too closely on the heels of Mr. Wilson's published criticism of Mr. Libby's boss' policies (7/6/03).
It's bad enough that they've set up poor Scooter to take the fall here. Now it's turning into something of a circus, where Karl Rove is the ringmaster, hoping that all the rumors and contradicting bits of hearsay passed as evidence lead to acquittal for all.

The Onion doesn't let me down.

This is perhaps the finest American Voices bit they've ever posted. If only for the first response.

Also - if you're reading my blog (both of you) and have never visited The Onion, go there now. And shame on you.

I'm not condoning anything here...

I'm not saying I support the attempted kidnapping, but did you get a look at the male astronaut she's allegedly commited the crime over?
Perhaps her attorney will use the "But he's a hot astronaut" defense. I think Elaine Stritch used that on Law and Order once. Her client walked.

Finally, an iTunes Plug-In I'll use.

For those of us who never use the Visualizer in their iTunes, and sometimes like to see live music, I give you iConcertCal. (There are Windows and OS X versions)
It scans your iTunes for Artists, and shows you when they will be playing in your local venue (and you can change the venue with a click or two). Click on the show and it opens up your browser to a PollStar page to order tickets.
It crashed my iTunes a couple of times on install, and I think it's sort of kludge programming, but I think it's a very cool idea carried out sorta alright.
(Checking it again, and seeing that Pat Benatar is playing the Bergen Performing Arts Center makes me kinda sad, though.)
