Charles Manson Appointed Head of California Prison System

.....did that get your attention? The real announcement this morning from the White House, which makes just as much sense, is that John Negroponte is W's choice to be our new Director of National Intelligence. You remember - he's the same Iran-Contra personality enmeshed in this country's failed attempt to support revolution in Nicaragua (reported on here last year) while turning a blind eye to death squads from Honduras, at the same time Negroponte was ambassador to that country.

Perfect, don't you think? Who better to track down terrorists than one who knows very well how they operate?

W continues to defy logic, but what else is new?
