I am getting so much work done on a whole cloth quilt it's amazing! I don't normally sit much during the day, and almost never have TV on, but the Illinois Governor is going through his impeachment trial in the Illinois Senate, and it is almost impossible NOT to have the TV going. He's doing a lovely job playing the victim and going on national TV to complain about being unfairly treated. When he says he's not allowed to call witnesses that sounds simply ghastly and most unfair, but he doesn't mention that the rules very clearly provide the right to call witnesses or that he has chosen not to appear. Not being allowed to defend yourself is completely different from choosing not to defend yourself, of course. Fortunately the media has been putting side-by-side quotes from the rules next to the Governor's statements! They have not directly called him a liar, but anybody who reads the paper can make his own conclusions. So -- lots of stitching getting done! Thanks, Guv!
