House finds Atty. Gen. Eric Holder in contempt of Congress

Now there's a charge I could happily plead guilty to - contempt for Congress! Of course, I have an equal amount of contempt for the executive and judicial branches of government.

All government, in its essence, is organized exploitation, and in virtually all of its existing forms it is the implacable enemy of every industrious and well-disposed man.
-- HL Mencken

The House votes to hold the attorney general in contempt over Operation Fast and Furious documents. About 100 Democrats walk out on the vote, dismissing it as partisan political theater.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
