\nFrom the NYT: Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales suggested on Thursday for the first time that the president might have the legal authority to order wiretapping without a warrant on communications between Americans that occur exclusively within the United States. The attorney general made his comments, which critics said reflected a broadened view of the president’s authority, as President Bush offered another strong defense of his decision to authorize the National Security Agency to eavesdrop without warrants on international calls and e-mail messages to or from the United States.<\/p>\n
From New Orleans: our trash cans have been removed forever – can’t staff the public services, don’t offer any is the city’s new motto. <\/p>\n
Where are all the people? department: N and I were going to do a joint birthday celebration at Antoine’s but they aren’t open for lunch – neither is Commanders open yet at all – no staff is the response.<\/p>\n
BUT – it’s time to lighten up and look at all the reasons to tighten up and be happy:
\nSome pulchritude is returning: L called and she and M are moving back – she’ll be 7 months pregnant and J now almost three – they have decided to come home after all and so the city has scored another plus. And I get my movie friend back. <\/p>\n
Friends to smile with: Walking around the bayou this morning N and I saw the little ducklings with their parents waddling across the grass and sliding into the water, we both cooed, even though neither of us are the cooing type, well N less than me. And right at the bridge a stone fox ran by that made us both smile ear to ear and turn our heads – we lapped him again on the other side and he was even cuter the second time around. <\/p>\n
Healthy body: Nice long run even though already warm at 8AM. <\/p>\n
Fun: M for a massage to work out the kinks of my arm injury, Bywater for catfish with N, Vaughns where we watched a promo for Vaughns, Marky’s, Parkview where I met C who told me how she went from alpha to the upturned mouse – it’s frightening to have heard her connect the dots so effortlessly – because it is so base, so cliche, and yet – mon ami – and yet – jfc – slit my wrists now. <\/p>\n
Something is rumbling out there -perhaps a storm, perhaps not, but it has the animals disturbed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
