Wow. This, just out from Newsweek would surely rattle some cages, to say the least, of those in our government and elite media circles who would just rather stick their heads under the sand and move on from illegal human rights violations and war crimes committed by the White House's previous occupants. But it would certainly be a welcome change from the last few years of just turning a blind eye to this kind of stuff because it is hard and uncomfortable and difficult to reconcile.

Holder, 58, may be on the verge of asserting his independence in a profound way. Four knowledgeable sources tell NEWSWEEK that he is now leaning toward appointing a prosecutor to investigate the Bush administration's brutal interrogation practices, something the president has been reluctant to do. While no final decision has been made, an announcement could come in a matter of weeks, say these sources, who decline to be identified discussing a sensitive law-enforcement matter.

I don't know what happened to this diary series, but I'm gonna throw this out tonight. I like drug movies. Not just that, but I love movies about the business of drugs. Movies about drug dealing, drug trafficking, the consequences of a life spent hustling & cooking. Many drug movies seem to have the same arc to them. The plot usually begins with seduction & temptation, then the high life under the influence and the final act is normally the crashing down of harsh consequences for the lifestyle of trafficking. Though some of these films are cultural icons in their own right, some are lesser known gems that tell the familiar tale in their own unique way.

Determined to restore dignity to the White House and respect back to the institutions of government, our amazing First Lady has spent the last 50 days embarked on a tour of good will that reached from the soup kitchens of Washington to the departments of our government that were left to rot under republican rule.

Government is filled with folks who have dedicated their lives to helping improve their country, and it's great to see Michelle Obama on a whirlwind tour to thank them and let them know that they now have a leader who respects and appreciates the working people of this government and this country.

Below are some highlights, quotes and photos of our amazing and alluring First Lady in action....Enjoy!

Without privatization, I don’t see how you can possibly, over time, make sure that young Americans are able to receive Social Security benefits. - John McCain

Banking, health care, social security - nothing is too sacred for Wall Street to ruin according to McCain.
This week, McSame became McDole and the Alaska Disasta kept lying while her favorability sank faster than her credibility.

McSame has made his choice. There are certainly more qualified republican women that McSame passed over. It's gotta sting that McCain passed over Romney and others for someone with a resume like this.
