Seems the suspicious white powder found in Iraq was some sort of explosive, not WMD-type compound (I guess that depends on your definition of WMD's). When it was revealed that the white powder was not a politically-useful pharmaceutical, a loud "damn, man!" was heard from the Oval Office. Seems the dollar bills were already being rolled up, and the mirrors taken out of storage in anticipatory glee.

On the other side of the reflecting pool, Clarence Thomas thought that he needed to write an affirmative opinion for White Power, and was halfway through his opinion when he discovered he had misunderstood the reporter from Faux News, whose story on the discovery followed a piece on the UMich case. Thomas then had a coke and a smile, and went back to sleep.
