Senate Cuts Funding for Cheney’s Office
July 11th, 2007Watch out, THE TERRORISTS ARE COMING!!!!!!
Via: International Herald Tribune:
Senate Democrats moved Tuesday to cut off funding for U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney’s office in a continuing battle over whether he must comply with national security disclosure rules.
A Senate appropriations panel chaired by Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin refused to fund $4.8 million in the vice president’s budget until Cheney’s office complies with parts of an executive order governing its handling of classified information.
At issue is a requirement that executive branch offices provide data on how much material they classify and declassify. That information is to be provided to the Information Security Oversight Office at The National Archives.
Cheney’s office, with backing from the White House, argues that the offices of the president and vice president are exempt from the order because they are not executive branch “agencies.”
The funding cut came as the appropriations panel approved 5-4 along party lines a measure funding White House operations, the Treasury Department and many smaller agencies.

White House, FBI Agents Race to Disrupt ‘Summer of ’07’ Threat
There, they’ve given it an official nom-de-media… It *must* be serious!
I can’t wait to hear the “Summer of ’07 Threat” theme-music soundbite – I hope they do as good a job as they did on the “Paris Hilton Watch Update” music…
Oh yes, just a hunch–I’m sure.
Oh, and just by coinkydink an Al Quaeda tape made it into the news today!

I also have a gut instinct that repeats itself over and over again. My gut tells me that when the going gets bad (the scam is revealed) for the VP and the rest of the gang making lots and lots of money off of WAR and issues of security they find a way to fill the world with stories of terror.
I know, I will supposedly rue the day I made fun of these kind people like Santorum and Chertoff who tell us how we are all going to die in a blazing and towering inferno. Somehow, I still don’t believe the words that are coming out of their mouths. SO JUST SHUT UP ALREADY.
