Advice to coders, funny, from code queen Kathy Sierra

Wouldn’t you love to eavesdrop on those brand new, mandatory ethics lectures for White House officials? Gee, this so reminds me of the NH Republican Party’s eight-point “Code of Ethics,” which they invented right after getting caught jamming Democrats’ phones in 2002 –illegal behavior which, we learn in 2005, was financed by Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff. I hope Bush will save some of my Federal tax dollars by brushing off the NH Republican code for his own team’s use. It sounds like exactly what he’s looking for.

You see, very conveniently, the NH Republican Code of Ethics–while forbidding “false or misleading attacks” and “any activity which would corrupt or degrade” the political process–didn’t obligate them to uncover or punish anyone’s past mistakes or crimes–or even to answer questions truthfully.

The non-news of people waiting for Plamegate tidbits is getting sticky–e.g. this from Wonkette:

… the [FOX News] doughnuts had pre-arranged blanket immunity from prosecution in exchange for their testimony. Their hot, delicious testimony.

Breaking…Wonkette has now added a new category, “Politics/Doughnuts.

Scooter Libby, who told prosecutors he learned about Valerie Plame’s CIA connection from “journalists,” in fact got the information from Dick Cheney.

Plamegate is giving some journalists a bad name, but….the name “Dick Cheney”? That’s going too far!

People are puzzled by Tom DeLay’s smirking perp walk…not to mention his beaming mug shot.

Just who the heck does he think he is — Bill Gates?

Here’s what my magic mind-reading hat says Tom DeLay is thinking:

• “La la la — I am soooo much richer than the cop taking my photo.”
• “This expression looked just great on my campaign flyers.”
• “Things could be way worse–at least I’m not Scooter or Rove!”

…in fact, twelve questions, but this is my personal favorite:

In retrospect, wouldn’t it have been smarter to just TP Wilson’s house, and he would be all like “Valerie, the trees are filled with toilet paper!” and you’d be laughing your butt off outside, which would be so cool.

…our next Secretary of Agriculture, maybe?
