Launch Time: 7:38 p.m. EDT


LIVE VIDEO -- MICO CONFIRMED!



oh, and check the comments,
below, for more comprehensive
committee agendas -- i culled
mine (the ones above) for bush-cheney
scandal value. . . excepting,
of course, the shuttle launch -- it
is above because that is always a
welcome piece of news. . .

and, i'll have a live-feed from
nasa-tv here, that evening. . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAST EVENTS:

[there will be no feed for
the scooter libby sentencing -- see
the liveblog at firedoglake. . .]

okay -- tomorrow at 9:30 a.m., judge walton
will sentence scooter libby for perjury and
obstruction of justice
, and likely release
the vast bulk of the letters turned over
by the defense in support of scooter
. . .

but by this morning, by 9 a.m. eastern,
team libby should have filed, on an ex-parte basis,
(i.e. not available to the public) all its redaction
requests -- else, the entire text of all
letters will be released, per judge
walton's access order of last week
. . .

also tomorrow, but in the afternoon,
senator patrick leahy's senate
judiciary committee will hold a hearing, and
receive testimony from todd graves, the "fifth
beatle
ninth u.s. attorney
", and from
bradley "vote supression" schlozman -- this should be
very dramatic point-counterpoint, between the
man who was ousted, and the man who took his
seat -- in sen. leahy's continuing quest for the truth:
