Watching Condi

Well being sick does have its benefits. Such as today I get to watch Condi Rice give her testimony to the 9/11 commission.

I'll post my observations here during the day.

Update @ 10:03am

Richard Ben-Veniste is giving Condi a hard time and she hasn't even attempted to answer his question yet. He basically wants to know what information she passed onto the President before 9/11. He says 'Isn't it a fact that we were... warned about possible attacks against this country'. He gets her to name the title of a paper titled "bin Laden plans attacks inside the United States" then tries to cut her off immediately after she says it. The putz is trying to create a sound clip for the media. This guy is an idiot.

News flash out of Ottawa:
Hang on to any of the new Province of Newfoundland quarters.

If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents.
The Canadian Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the
Newfoundland quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from
each province.

"We are recalling all the new Newfoundland quarters that were recently
issued," Canadian Mint Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday.
"This action is being taken after numerous reports that new quarters will
not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or
other coin-operated devices."

The quarters were issued in the order in which the various Provinces
joined Canada and have been a tremendous success among coin collectors
worldwide.

"The problem lies in the unique design of the Newfoundland quarter which
was created by a Newfoundland graduate," Shackleford said.
"Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together
keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."
Update @ 10:58am

Who are these fools in the audience at the commission? Everytime someone says something harsh to Condi or says that Iraq was a mistake the audience claps. It's very odd.

Update @ 12:02pm

Well that was quick. I got sidetracked by work. Anyways, all in all nothing big or unexpected was said. Oh well I didn't really expect her to go ballistic on anyone anyways.
