Good morning, Mulan! Haven't had my coffee yet. I was more surprised hearing about Owen Wilsons possible suicide attempt. I thought he was really mellow and laid back. Too bad.
PS. signed up for Soc Sec yet? I'm all set and supposed to get my first check in Nov.

Alberto Gonzales (born August 4, 1955) is an Americanjurist who is the 80th Attorney General of the United States. Gonzales was appointed to the post in February 2005 by President George W. Bush. While Bush was Governor of Texas, Gonzales had served as his general counsel, and subsequently he served as Secretary of State of Texas and then on the Texas Supreme Court. From 2001 to 2005, Gonzales served in the Bush Administration as White House Counsel. [1] On August 27, 2007, Gonzales announced that he will resign, effective September 17, 2007. He did not announce the reasons for his resignation. [2] He is the highest-ranking Hispanic in the federal government to date.
The investigation into the illegal actions and the reasons for the decisions made in the Justice department must continue. Congress may, as a result of continued investigation, need to enact legislation to keep the Justice department (and perhaps higher-ups in the administration) firmly in check. Nobody should be above the law, especially those whose job is to enforce it.

Triple amen to that. Hi, Gopher. Hope you're not too waterlogged.
