Forgot to mention this to Pratchett fans...

... I stopped in to a Wal-Mart on Friday after taking my grandmother to the doctor. The Wal-Mart in Livingston had a large table full of remaindered books- clearance markdown, and mostly books I hadn't seen in this Wal-Mart before.

Most of it was crap, at least to me, but on top of the pile was a single, solitary copy of The Bromeliad Trilogy for $4, which I snapped up at once.

For those who haven't read it, this isn't as silly and biting as any Discworld book; it's much more serious, at least as serious as any book about nomes trying to puzzle out the human world can be.

Still good for the price, though. Livingston doesn't have any more copies, but it's possible your local Wallyworld might.

Oh, and on the Bush front...

... apparently Arlen Specter (R-PA) dropped the I-bomb in a TV interview yesterday.

Specifically, he said that if Bush did indeed conduct wiretaps of domestic phone calls without a warrant, "the first remedy is impeachment, followed possibly by criminal prosecution."

When a major Senator of Bush's party even admits such a thing is possible- even when he goes on and says it's unlikely- Bush is in -trouble.-

Now watch Limbaugh & Co. call Specter a RINO renegade, party traitor, etc. etc. so they can protect King George III...
