Speaking of NCAA, Guess who's getting out of prison in 6 short months!
Jack Abramoff...here's my favorite quote of his...

POSSIBLE FOREKNOWLEDGE OF THE IRAQ WAR

Jack Abramoff has indicated that he knew that the US would invade Iraq before the American public did. On March 18, 2002, After being e-mailed by an old friend who was a militant Israeli settler, Abramoff responded: "I was sitting with Karl Rove, Bush's top advisor, at the NCAA basketball game, discussing Israel when email came in. I showed it to him. It seems that the President was very sad to have to come out negatively regarding Israel but that they needed to mollify the Arabs for the upcoming war on Iraq. That did not seem to work anyway. Bush seems to love Sharon and Israel, and thinks Arabfat is nothing but a liar. I thought I'd pass that on."

This was written before the Downing Street memo, the Bush-Blair memo, and Niger uranium documents forgery were written. This was also before the Office of Special Plans and the White House Iraq Group were created, and before Congress authorised Bush to invade Iraq with the Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq.

1. My favorite Abramoff quote 'Tom Rodgers is a moron'. Rodgers
is the Native American lobbyist who blew the whistle on the bastard with the help of other Native Americans who were being screwed by Abramoff. He referred to them all as "idiots and monkeys".

It is a great deal of satisfaction for me to know that it was those idiots and monkeys who put him behind bars.
