Are you kidding me?

Sometimes you read something and you are absolutely astounded. In the last few days, the stories coming out of Washington have been incredible. Let's review the highlights and lowlights of this week's news.

1. The Army Reserve has refused to allow officers to resign or leave the service. The IAVA has the full story.
>Isn't this involuntary servitude? How can they be forced to serve beyond their original agreed upon time?

2. NSA is spying on us. Telephone companies, according to USA Today, except for QWEST, turned over phone records of customers to the NSA. According to the article, the records were provided to the NSA without warrants. The records have now become part of a colossal super secret database maintained by the NSA.
>Hello NSA! If you're listening to my conversations about recipes, shopping, and if we need milk and butter, you must be very bored.

3. Dusty Foggo resigns. Now, Tice, the former #3 guy at the CIA is the subject of a search at his home.
>Are Dusty's hooker parties at the Watergate the reasons for the searches?

4. President Bush's approval rating, according to a new Harris Poll, is 29%.
>Could it go lower?

5. Patrick Fitzgerald met with the grand jury this week on the CIA leak case.
>Please, Fitz, can't you hurry up and indict the rest of the corrupt bunch?
