-Caveat Lector- We have to worry about Johnnie A. With little stories like the part of the one that follows, and now with the peripheral involvement of the Bushies in Enron and who knows what else, the idea of "cover-up" naturally occurs in the minds of many. But: is "cover-up" just a notion of those who are by nature skeptics? We read now that Johnnie A's group has taken the time to ensure that images of the DoJ's "Spirit" and "Majesty" statues are properly draped; we can wonder if this is something a little more subtley subliminal about "covering- up". The statues have been there since the 30ies, through all kinds of administrations and all kinds of people, but it takes a Bushie to perhaps -- by obfuscation, after the fashion of Rush L -- to reveal what is actually what's going on.
