August politics

No new-Gonzales yet. It looks like my guesses of Ted Olson and Larry Thompson were good ones as potential successors. Larry Silberman and George Terwilliger are in the mix. Though all of this has been somehow overshadowed by the Senator Larry Craig solicitation scandal. The guy is an idiot. Even if he was totally innocent--which I doubt--by pleading guilty he may as well be. The GOP better get its act together if it has any hope in reclaiming Congress next year. And if there is a Supreme Court vacancy (well, for all judicial vacancies), Republicans needs a majority.

And Fred Thompson is finally going to declare, after the longest exploratory committee ever. However, twenty years ago, he'd be getting into the ring at the right time. Two year plus presidential campaigns are absurd.

Other than this, we're all waiting for Labor Day weekend to start and another trip to California...
