Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Did Gonzales Mislead Congress Again?
ThinkProgress reports on a discrepancy between what Gonzales said on monday and what Gen. Hayden and John Ashcroft have said previously. Gonzales said there was a probable cause test on the program. Hayden said they needed to use the warrentless wiretap because they couldn't meet the probable cause burden to get the warrant after-the-fact as FISA allows. Hayden made it clear he thought the test wasn't probable cause but was reasonableness. Maybe Gonzales would explain it by saying Hayden isn't a lawyer. Why doesn't that make me feel better?
