The Democrats finally come home to the Governor's mansion in Albany and they've done something that may get them to lose the keys in 2010. While I've been fairly pleased with Spitzer's first year in office, I'm disgusted with the current scandal that finds his staff was spying on Republican State Senate Leader Joseph Bruno. Spitzer says he had no knowledge of what his staff was doing. That's the same thing Nixon said when his staff was caught spying on their opponents. Pathetic.......

Speaking of corrupt and pathetic politicians, It's so sad that Albert Gonzales is still the Attorney General. He's incapable of telling the truth or being bi-partisan. Once again, he's been caught lying while giving testimony in the senate. FBI Director Robert Mueller said that Gonzales lied to congress about wire-tapping and the partisan firing of U.S. District Attorneys. The Democrat Senators have called for a perjury investigation into Gonzo.......

CNN's YouTube Debate with the Democrat Presidential candidates was by-far the most interesting debate to date. The smartest questions were asking and the most interesting answers were given, which may explain why Republicans are scared to participate in an actual open forum debate. Of all the GOP candidates, only McCain and Ron Paul have signed on........

And in Iraq, The Los Angeles Times reports on electricity:

U.S. drops Baghdad electricity reports The daily length of time that residents have power has dropped. By Noam N. Levey and Alexandra Zavis

As the Bush administration struggles to convince lawmakers that its Iraq war strategy is working, it has stopped reporting to Congress a key quality-of-life indicator in Baghdad: how long the power stays on.

Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week that Baghdad residents could count on only "an hour or two a day" of electricity. That's down from an average of five to six hours a day earlier this year.

But that piece of data has not been sent to lawmakers for months because the State Department, which prepares a weekly "status report" for Congress on conditions in Iraq, stopped estimating in May how many hours of electricity Baghdad residents typically receive each day.

Instead, the department now reports on the electricity generated nationwide, a measurement that does not indicate how much power Iraqis in Baghdad or elsewhere actually receive.
