10 Signs that you are WAY too obsessed with Plamegate.
1. You agonize in public and online that it shouldn't be called Plamegate. Unfortunately people have not caught on to your choice which happens to be Traitors Gate. You complain that they just don't get the nuances.

2. You are in the process of putting together your very own timetable of who did what when just in case you catch something that Fitzgerald missed.

3. Your first thought in the morning is to get to your computer to see if anything happened while your were sleeping. Alright maybe you make coffee first but that's while the computer is booting up.

4. You have Fitzgerald's web page bookmarked. Moreover you have personally analyzed the html code in this website for hidden clues to what he is going to do even though your knowledge of html is cursory at best.

5. While walking through the liquor store, you have a powerful urge to buy a bottle of champagne. You decide not to buy it because you don't want to jinx the case like you did back on election day. You are convinced that Kerry lost because of your lousy bottle of Korbel brut.

6. Your family changes the subject whenever you launch excitedly into the latest developments. Your spouse has lately been browsing mental health and deprogramming websites,

7. You have recurring fantasies involving Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby a roll of duct tape and a 300 pound tatooed lifer named Bubba. These are not pleasant to have near mealtime.

8. You flip through the news channels thinking "Why the hell are they so obsessed with this hurricane crap. I want to hear what Cheney said to Libby, Goddamnit."

9. You almost post an update of a list of employees and titles to your employers website that includes the name George W. Bush and the title Unindicted Co-conspirator.

10. You have been caught walking out of your place of employment humming "It's Beginning to Look alot Like Christmas" or is it Fitzmas?

42. OMG
You've been watching me!! I admit I was a little annoyed with the hurricane stuff on CNN this morning. But I scolded myself. And then ran to MSNBC, just in case!

4. You've been watching me, haven't you?
I would add:
You make DU your homepage, and spend all your online time going from DU, to Fitz's website, and back to DU with only occasional forays to news websites.

6. #13 You bookmark Fitzgerald's web site in your Blackberry
so you can hit refresh during all day meetings to see if there are updates.

Edited on Wed Oct-26-05 06:46 AM by Hubert Flottz
of the Aspen trees.
#16 You've been called "crazy" so often you answer to that name now instead of your own.
#17 You've been all over town looking for Fitzmas cards to send to your GOPer friends...if you're unlucky enough to even have GOPer friends.
#18 All of the above!11111!!!!1!1!!

14. Oh god, Project X. I forgot about that.
Where exactly is the key to the secret code that's inscribed on the side of the Lincoln Memorial anyway?

I'm such a spazz, I always forget these things.

16. Ask the man standing about 200 feet to the west, of the statue...
he's the one in the bright colored tree suit. Don't talk to any shrubs in the area.

18. Thanks.
I must have gotten it mixed up with my chart of who's who in the Niger documents forgery.

I really have to improve my file management skills if I'm going to be a DU undercover operative.

29. Easy enough to do. I've done that myself and it almost cost me
my you know what. And speaking of "you know what"...be very careful never to reveal to you know who, you know what.

19. You break into a cold sweat
when the power goes out.
Hurricane force winds in that Nor'easter here and I woke up around 2:00 night before last to no power. I was nearly hysterical thinking Fitzmas would happen without me.

Who cares about the alarm clocks, the heat, the food in the frog, no water...

24. Your heart beats uncontrollably at the sound of CNN's Breaking News theme
and leaps at the sight of any online newspaper headline with the word "Rove" in it.

20. How about
You get mad at the kids on your son's football team when they jump offsides because penalties makes the games last longer, and you are forced to be away from your computer an extra 10 minutes.

23. You try variations of Fitzgerald's web pages like "indictments.html" just
in case he's put a page up before it's on the index.

30. I have done at least 6 of these
Pretty accurate list! But I have to get a grip cause I've done NO WORK these past couple days, and I'll probably get fired unless Fitzgerald release these indictments soon. I really think he should take things like this into consideration. The Plamegate addicts can't take it!

I have been humming fitzmas songs on and off all week. I am also guily of many of the others. It's beginning to look like Fitzmas is the one most frequent on my mind.

MY coffee is prepared the night before and the coffeemaker is on a timer. I catch a cup on the way to the computer...

Not kidding, but that's all the time, not just at Fitzmas. :)
