Today NPR's Morning Edition featured an interview with former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix, who restated his belief that the Bush and Blair governments didn't have sufficient cause to invade Iraq. "If you sentence someone to death," he said, "or you sentence someone to war, you'd better have some evidence. And we didn't feel there was evidence."

Bob Edwards closed by asking Blix about the charges of wire-tapping.

BE: Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair will neither confirm nor deny reports that the British bugged UN offices in New York. Do you have reason to believe you were bugged?

HB: Well, sometimes I thought so. We always assumed that it was likely -- and it's an uneasy, an unpleasant feeling. However, it didn't worry me unduly because I was not saying anything very different on the internal lines than I did publicly. So the substance didn't bother me -- but it's an unpleasant feeling.

Now I say, somewhat jokingly: Look, it's one thing that they bugged us; I wish they had listened more attentively to what we said.

Take that, Bush re-election campaign!

We had some blue sky today. Warmer, too. But I don't understand why a seagull would hang out in the ShopKo parking lot.

I also don't understand why anyone would pay fifty cents for a package of ReeseSticks when a whole bag full of chocolate-covered peanut butter wafers is maybe $2.00. They taste exactly the same. Next!
