First off, an interesting link about presidents, wire taps, Constitutional rights, and impeachment. Frankly, the logic of this article makes sense. Nixon went down for a lot less that Dubya has done. The man shouldn't be above the law, especially to the extent that he's gotten away with.

For a much less controversial thought, I just got this quote from my friend Kirsti, who lifted it from The Mammoth Book of Oddballs and Eccentrics by Karl Shaw:

"The miser John Overs, who made a fortune from his Thames ferryboat ... lived so frugally, it was said, that the rats left his house of their own accord. ... His meanness contributed to his premature death. In an attempt to cut down on his bills, Overs pretended to be dead for a day, believing that his house servants would fast until after the funeral and thus reduce his food bill. The plan backfired when they celebrated instead by throwing open the doors to the pantry. When Overs rose from his deathbed to complain they thought he was a ghost and clubbed him to death with an oar."

Bwa ha ha!
