I heard this at work today. I love their food especially the pizza.
Fortunately, Louie’s has another place in Meridian.

Then, there’s Lucky 13 down in Hyde Park which has terrific pizza as well. Last I heard they were moving out to Harris Ranch near Barber Park, the end of August (the 31st).
Well, fuck. The blogosphere is abuzz with this news. First there was ‘this news’ :
Former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby cannot delay his 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak case, a federal appeals court unanimously ruled Monday.
Then started checking around the blogosphere on the coverage: Americablog, firedoglake, TPM, the Agonist, and a few other favorites. Get to work and find THIS!
God-fucking-damnit! All hell needs to break loose over this. Libby stood trial, he was tried – the jury found him GUILTY! He was sentenced. He appealed on a particular question regarding going to jail; he was denied that appeal . . . . . and finally – THIS! Joe Sudbay (Americablog) posted this from Jeffrey Tobin on CNN, (CNN’s legal analyst) who stated:
“This is a complete departure from the usual procedure. Scooter Libby is getting a very special brand of justice. He is getting enormous privileges that are not available to ordinary criminal convicts.”
From Josh Marshall: House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) reacts to Bush’s move as “inconsistent with the rule of law.” An update to the original reads: “And a staffer from his committee tells us that they’re looking to have a hearing on this as soon as next week.”
Josh also has updates with reaction from Reid, Pelosi, and Schumer. Like Chuck Schumer said: “As Independence Day nears, we are reminded that one of the principles our forefathers fought for was equal justice under the law. This commutation completely tramples on that principle.”
More later…….
[Update - 17:38] Just checked with Larry Johnson – colleague of Valerie Plame. He’s not ‘in’ so his blogmate has this up for now.

Sean-Paul over at ‘The Agonist’ posted a piece from Bill Moyers’ show about the ’sub-prime.’ You can’t be any more succinct than she was, and my eyes didn’t even begin to glaze. I think what it all boils down to and I’m just as guilty, is ‘fiscal responsibility irresponsibility.’ (Used to practice it all the time when I was drinkin’-n-druggin’ back in the day.)
Here, the word is Micron is beginning layoffs and we were discussing how people get roped into buying big McHouses, start buying big-ass Dodge trucks they don’t need & hook ‘em up to boats they’ve recently purchased to pull around town. I almost feel sorry for ‘em.
But wait…we need another upscale clothier!

Update from Friday: “The U.S. Embassy’s top military official in Cyprus has been found dead in a wooded area north of Nicosia, the island’s capital, an embassy official said Monday.”
I’m not sure of the orientation of this blog, but someone is tying it to the Iranian government. Per their ‘about’ statement:
There is no limit to the topics appearing on American Thinker. National security in all its dimensions, strategic, economic, diplomatic, and military is emphasized. The right to exist and the survival of the State of Israel are of great importance to us. Business, science, technology, medicine, management, and economics in their practical and ethical dimensions are also emphasized, as is the state of American culture.
