Probably not. It isn't very interesting on the surface and depending upon the outlet you receive information from (you're favorite news source) you may not even be aware it is playing in town. But it is. It has stars and it has superstars.

Unlike Rich Bond, former Republican Party Chairman, I don't find watching stars fall from the sky to be very interesting. Actually, I find it pathetic and sad. What I do like though, very much so, is watching the little twitches of the stars, as they become aware of the impending fall. And that is the best show in Washington these days.

And here's the beauty of the script: Regardless of your affiliation or mind-set or indoctrination, you will find the story line that fits your desires. It is nearly a perfect script. You are writing it yourself just by watching parts of the play. It is downright amazing and I can only think of one person who would have the intellect to thunk it up. Hmm. But alas, it is theater nonetheless and as of a few days ago it is Presidentially confirmed theater so I feel quite confident I can muse it over.

One thing you may have managed to gleam from the play as it crosses your information source, in whatever shape it does that, is that there were some U.S. Attorneys asked to leave the Justice Department. OK. That's boring. You may have also noticed that why they were asked has never been explained (plot line one) and that since it hasn't, the 'investigation' has made turns and jogs and has followed the rat to the river numerous times (plot lines expand to confusion). Still, not one thing that even closely resembles a federal law violation. Oh, of course there are those with the perspective of the cat who are convinced anything that moves in the White House that isn't a Clinton isn't their own tail, but there are those out there who actually have bothered to review what happens in the perspective of what or whom is actually doing what happens, and why.

You see, for every genius plan there is some nut ball out there who can ascertain what it really is just by following enough information from the main source and keeping the comments of the formerly disinterested press in their own perspective. If you watched C.S.I. this past season you could only appreciate the final episode if you knew how it got there.

It is that very genius plan flaw, that has resulted in the overwhelming outcry of believers who will stop at nearly nothing to quell the voices of those scientists who are too smart to fall for human created, end of days, judgment day style global warming. If the concept didn't fit the evangelical image of the rapture it would not be tolerated by otherwise thinking Americans.

Even though this is being written before Monica Goodling manages to not say anything wrong (one does not rise to the level of her former position without being very, very self-controlled and focused, I hope she plays her part half as well as Alberto Gonzales has so far, played his), I don't really need to know what she says or does. That topic is just the climax nearing the orchestral crescendo. I'll hear the fat lady sing. I don't need to see her rehearse. But when she refused to release unredacted Justice Department emails and documents in response to a subpoena, that was too much. That was nearly as good as the 'take the 5th' plot line. I did not call Monica Goodling, fat. I did not. Not the same 'she'. Figure of speech. A lot like the play.

It was cold in most parts of the country. Here, in the valley of the sun, we were experiencing a nice winter. Cold for us, but a piece-o-cake for the snow-bird crowd lucky to get away from Minnesota.

So there we were, way back in January, not thinking Justice was ever going to happen AT ALL, but not knowing when or how, when all of a sudden, out of no-where, Senator Dianne Feinstein gets word that some United States Attorneys were asked to leave. No big deal. But it was all on the same day, and the Justice Department was somehow telling her there could be upwards of 10. Problem was, those Attorneys hadn't said a thing about it. They even got job reference letters and nice pats on the back and the system of executive branch political appointee short-lives was intact. It had already resulted in the cleaning house of the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission and the Justice Department, and probably more background agencies just there to add ambiance. But wow. Just think about it. (Stroke one's whiskers at this point, pondering the potential of dastardly deeds one could conjure up with information like that.) Wow. One could make this look really bad. Never mind it was not a topic, it would need to become one. Don't you just love the genius in this? Evil laugh.

It makes me wonder, as I do not know, where the decision came from to actually turn Republicans replacing Republican appointees with Republican appointees, into a scandal of Republicans. It makes me shake my head thinking about it. But I won't know for a while so I can wait on that too.

So hearings got underway from that decision and Democrat politicians, with Chuck Schumer headlining set about to create a scandal. Take one part knowledge with one part hope and get a mixture that ignores any future knowledge. Unless that knowledge leads to more hope, then by all means switch gears, point that-a-way and charge! F-Troop. That's what they remind me of.

One failure to answer leads to more hope for failure to answer, which leads to more questions about what the failure to answer SHOULD be hiding and wham... a best seller is in the making. The liberal bloggers can be counted on to grasp at anything remotely looking like the occupants of the White House might not really belong there after all, and the powers that be can be counted on to pull the strings to their own perceived benefit and we have a show.

So to make a long story short, which if you have followed it as closely as I have you would not mind skipping over; we now reach the point where all those 'I don't recalls' could be understandable. Will it be over then? Will the F-Troop face the other players and buckle? So far, not.

Over the last few months, well, make that five months (yes I'm tired of waiting) we've watched the saga unfold and only a few, if any, have bothered to question what it all means. What is the moral of the story? What is the cause of the story? What is the point of the story?

LA Times reporter Tom Hamburger wrote about emails demanded by the house committee from the RNC and Whitehouse. He was asked, "So why are you not looking into the OTHER email domains used in those released documents? DHS, NCIS what are THEY involved in the prosecutor story for?" He responded. "Good Point".

In reply he was informed, "Bush family friend Rich Bond said; "To the degree of which the Gonzales issue provides distraction that allows the Democrats to keep the Republicans off balance, that's a negative," said Bond, a former top aide to then-Vice President George H.W. Bush and chair of the Republican National Committee. "He'll have his day in court," Bond said. "But Washington is all about watching stars fall from the sky." Gonzalez will have his day in court? (What court? The one they failed to give answers about to the Senate written questions?) What stars will be falling from what sky? (Washington 'stars' are elected officials are they not?) Why does Bond find the stars a more interesting focus to watch when I'm getting such a kick out of watching them twitch?
