James Knodell Leaps Upon His Sword!

I think this guy will be the next contestant in the game show, "Who's That ScapeGoat?!"

Also, Valerie Plame testifies about the day her cover as a Covert Officer for the CIA was blown by the White House.

The happenings today have been so good, I've forgotten a couple of times, that my wife will be cooking up Corned Beef and Cabbage tomorrow.

Not even work has been able to distract me from thoughts of spicy boiled cabbage, beef, carrots and potatoes, all smothered in mustard and horseradish with a side of cornbread and a Guinness Stout to wash it all down with.

And if you drink to much tomorrow, remember that the line, "May the road rise up to meet you." is referring to the notion of safe and easy travels. It doesn't mean those times when you're so pissed its smacking you in the face.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
