Krusteaz Instant Spiced Cider tastes like artificial nothing.

[BigV]

Perhaps you failed to mix it with apple juice.

[HungLikeJesus]

BigV -- you're right. I just read the box. It's actually powered water. It says "Just add cider."

[Shawnee123]

What? It's like buying instant water.

[HungLikeJesus]

Exactly.

Robert Bradley Train, from the New Ground release.

Robert Cray An embarrassment of riches... you could throw a dart, really. How about "I'd Rather Be A Wino" from Who's Been Talkin'"

Robert Randolph Plenty of choices here too. How about "I Need More Love" from Unclassified. UT, you should check out the bass solo that opens this track. It's like the rumbly explosion that launches the space shuttle, and everything just takes off from there. Sweet.

Robert Ward Rare -- "Potato Soup" from the Black Top Blues Pajama Party. You may be excused for swinging wide on this final turn. It is a rockin git-ar virtuoso performance.

I invite you to reconsider.

Plus, they just line up this way in the view of my iTunes library.

Thanks for the invitation BigV, I think I will.

I have really been disconnected from the music world lately, it's good to have a new introduction.

Plame's Suit Against Top Officials Dismissed

Bates stressed in his ruling that the couple's allegations "pose important questions relating to the propriety of actions undertaken by our highest government officials," but that he had to dismiss the claims for jurisdictional reasons and so would not express an opinion on their merits.

DOJ Drops Wiretap Investigation

WASHINGTON -- The government has abruptly ended an inquiry into the warrantless eavesdropping program because the National Security Agency refused to grant Justice Department lawyers security clearance.

The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, or OPR, sent a fax Wednesday to Democratic Rep. Maurice Hinchey of New York saying it was closing its inquiry because without clearance it could not examine department lawyers' role in the program.

"We have been unable to make any meaningful progress in our investigation because OPR has been denied security clearances for access to information about the NSA program," OPR counsel H. Marshall Jarrett wrote to Hinchey. Hinchey's office shared the letter with The Associated Press.

"assuming you get your day in court"

yeah, that'll never happen.

Cheney Stonewalls the Senate

Honestly, too many to mention. This administration is all about sunshine and openess. [/sarcasm]

Ya really think you'll get a day in court? If you do, you're deluded.

Trade union membership? Sexual orientation?

Yeah- this is my knee-jerk reaction:
Don't fly. At all. I don't.
