Slog - Comments on It's About Time http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/02/its_about_time_1 After an uncharacteristic delay during which even some of the most jaded among us entertained a small hope of salvation, the leaders of our once-fine country have finally gotten around to seeing to it that there will be no consequences for the Bush administration over their Secret Illegal Domestic Spying Program.
