Follies

Keeping it short tonight, just a few links, starting with a primo Tom Tomorrow strip in Salon, impeachable White House scandals then and now (hat tip to Phase).

Then there's this version of Clippy, the animated Microsoft help assistant, vs. Karl Rove's cursor.

Finally, unrelated directly to the "missing" emails but somehow a perfect metaphor for the gang that couldn't shoot straight, a story more jarring due to yesterday's tragedy and one that might not have been so buried in the news on another day:

Two Secret Service officers were injured on Tuesday after a gun held by another Secret Service officer accidentally fired inside the White House gate, according to a spokesman, Darrin Blackford.

Their injuries are non-life threatening, the spokesman said.

One officer suffered a shrapnel wound to the face, and the other was wounded in the leg.

As far as I know the Secret Service is a non-partisan, independent security force...but are we about to find out that Dick Cheney and Karl Rove purged this department as well and installed their hacks?

Tell me you'd be surprised.
