God is in the (fourth tier) details...

It is sad that I get most of my news from THE DAILY SHOW, but, thank Buddha, they do such a fine job of it!

Check out this report on the placement of 150 Regent University Law School grads by the Bush administration. This came to light as part of the background of a recently resigned aide to the Attorney General who has been granted immunity for her testimony in the ongoing investigation of the attorney firings. She was a Regent grad herself.

The school was founded in the late 90s by Pat Robertson and was originally named the Christian Broadcasting Network University (see the DAILY SHOW clip or click around at the school's website for more).

Also, read the op-ed by NYTimes writer Paul Krugman which identifies these hirings as part of a bigger picture strategy that he feels needs to be widely acknowledged and better understood and watched.

Keep on keepin on~

Dude, there is SO MUCH corruption surrounding this administration that you know even high-level Republicans are going "we TOLD you he was a bad idea...". The whole Gonzalez thing, the Wolfowitz thing, the war, Katrina...

Do you have your Stewart/Colbert '08 bumper sticker yet?
