I see President Bush has in fact signed the Military Commissions Act into law.
Several times on the Arthur, King of Time and Space website I've promised readers that if I missed a day I'd have to be "in mourning, hospitalized or dead myself". Tomorrow I shall add to the list "jailed as a terrorist sympathizer". You'll know it's the last one if the AKOTAS website actually disappears.

I'm certain I heard or saw on broadcast news one recent morning that that was the day the Military Commissions Act was to be signed by the President into law, but I haven't heard anything more. Was it just not suffficiently newsworthy that he signed it? Was it not sufficiently newsworthy that he didn't sign it (I really don't think he's so clever or devious, or un-self-serving, but I have entertained the notion that George would walk up to the podium, pick up the pen, then look up at the gathered houses of Congress and go, "Punk'd!" and berate them for spinelessness and betrayal of their trust*)? Or am I all wrong, and the signing date is still nigh? kthx
