Creationism Expo Update

Cole points us to the latest on the ID debate and also links to Panda’s Thumb review of the Mega-Expo. I like this part in the article: Intelligent design emerged in the late 1970s and suggests there are certain aspects of the universe and nature that are best explained by an intelligent designer. But it avoids discussion of the designer, instead focusing on the complexity of life and the universe...."

 A neighbor's view of Valerie Wilson's 'outing'

Reading this op-ed in the USA Today that I found on Kos, I was wondering how Ken Mehlman would be able to spin it as an attack piece against Valerie.

When I first met Joe and Valerie, I quickly got to the classic Washington question: What do you do? Valerie's answer was more than a little vague. She quickly said she was a consultant. As a fourth-generation Washingtonian, I have learned that when someone says, "I'm a consultant," that is a cue to back off, as it usually means the person is unemployed or "between engagements."

I think I found it: ( this is a joke )

Mehlman: Tim, why didn't she say she was an accountant or a school teacher? She could have been an airline attendant or a cook in a downtown restaurant for that matter. Why be so vague and mysterious in her job description? When her friend said it was a "cue," what she really meant to say was "clue." Everyone in Washington knows " consultant" is a code word Tim! It's a code word for a C-I-A operative and so she outed herself."

 If Alberto Gonzales can talk about the Case...

Why can't the lot of them?

The Washington Post is following the lead on the admission by Alberto that he told Andrew Card immediately after learning that the Justice Department had launched a criminal investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity...

Again I ask... why can't Scotty talk about the case now? Did Gonzales stray away from the company line of no comment?
