Brainless

Is there life after the brain is removed? We may soon find out. In many cases, the lack of brain activity is the definition of death.

Based upon the word in the press, we may see whether Bush is brain dead without Rove. The Sunday Times - Online, in Prosecutor closes in on Bush "brain" considers the question, speculating that Rove will be gone in a few days.

Now I know why these guys are opposed to euthanasia. Without his brain, Bush would be a goner for sure. Now he'll just be brainless.

Also noted in the Times article, as an aside, is that Harriet Miers may join Rove in the great beyond. She may withdraw her name on the pretext that she can't disclose confidential White House information and advice, which would otherwise show that she isn't a total bozo.
