Deadlines are all DEAD (or about to be slain). Which means...

I get to start serious work on The Project Eating My Brain this week!

(when I'm halfway through this book and I hates it, point me back to this post, willya?)

This also means that Project Whoosh! will kick in soon, too. But that's a squee of a different sort.

obFeline Comment: giving Boomer a leftover address label to play with was probably cruel. But his look of fascinated horror when it stuck to his nose was priceless.

EtA: and Boomer had his Revenge. I was at the Post Awful, and the clerk looked at me and said "dog or cat?" Wha? And then I looked down, and my just-out-of-the-dryer black sweatshirt was covered in orange fur. sighs Point to the feline. He still looked doofier.

"I have no recollection..." Sound familiar, anyone?

And so: WASHINGTON - White House lawyers have advised President Bush's spokeswoman not to answer specific questions about why the CIA destroyed tapes of terror suspects under interrogation, as Congress seeks answers about the matter.

The Justice Department and the CIA's internal watchdog are conducting a joint inquiry into the spy agency's destruction of videotaped interrogations of two suspected terrorists, to determine whether a full investigation is warranted. With that review ongoing, the White House counsel's office has instructed Bush's press secretary, Dana Perino, not to get into details with reporters.

"I think that that's appropriate, and I'll adhere to it," Perino said Monday. She said her previous statement remains accurate — that Bush has no recollection of hearing about the tapes' existence or their destruction before being briefed about it last Thursday.
