The Evening Dinner Quickie.

The National Guard won't be patrolling the border; I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time believing that these guys' talents will be wasted on filing paperwork, teaching, and building barriers.

Rove blames Bush's low approval rating on the war in Iraq; "People like this president," Rove said. "They're just sour right now on the war." Sure, Karl. Pass the Kool-Aid, will you?

And supposedly, Rove isn't worried about an indictment just yet, even though the buzz on the blogs remains that Fitzgerald will make everything public either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Bush's aides are now insisting that they have proof that the economy is resilient: the high gas prices. You confused? "This may seem a bit of a stretch, at least in political terms, because pollsters say high gas prices are undermining voters' faith in the economy despite evidence that it's booming in many ways. But Bush aides say that if the current soaring gas prices had occurred in the 1970s, for example, the economy would have gone into a tailspin." Yeah, I don't believe it, either.

US bans arms sales to Venezuela; the reason: they're "punishing President Hugo Chavez for his ties with Cuba and Iran and for what it believes is his inaction against guerrillas from neighboring Colombia."

Native Americans are still getting screwed by the government: top court won't review Indian land claim case; here's something I'd like to know--since Europeans penetrated the border hundreds of years ago without ever assimilating or becoming "nationalized," does that mean that all of their descendants are illegal?

New filing may spell trouble for Vice President's former chief of staff; oh really?

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez thinks Bush should be imprisoned for committing genocide; while I don't think he could be convicted of that charge, I'm sure we can find hundreds of other things he's done to bring him down.

Rep. Barney Frank is called a "glib-tongued, fat faggot" by, of all people, a church; at least they were nice enough to remember the famous part, too?

Research shows that The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is affecting the youth vote?? Researchers are saying that Jon has a "negative" impact on young voters, and if they learn about politics and candidates from him, they may not vote at all. Seriously...WTF.

The Pentagon releases the names of everyone who has been held at Gitmo over the last four years.

Federal Source to ABC News: We Know Who You're Calling; and it's not just them--WaPo and the NY Times are being watched, too.

And now we've been Godwinned: this guy thinks we can solve our little border/Latino problem by following Nazi Germany's example; he must miss "the good ol' days".
