Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spent more than half a day Friday at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm representing Karl Rove.

During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 business hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning.

Robert Luskin, Rove’s attorney, did not return a call for comment. Sources said Fitzgerald was in Washington, DC, Friday and met with Luskin for about 15 hours to go over the charges against Rove, which include perjury and lying to investigators about how and when Rove discovered that Valerie Plame Wilson was a covert CIA operative and whether he shared that information with reporters, sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said.

It was still unknown Saturday whether Fitzgerald charged Rove with a more serious obstruction of justice charge. Sources close to the case said Friday that it appeared very likely that an obstruction charge against Rove would be included with charges of perjury and lying to investigators.

Apple just hurt my feelings. I received my new MacBook Pro today via helijet from Vancouver. Excitedly, I opened it up and plugged in my old road-weary G4 PowerBook via Firewire. The new ‘Book pulled everything down as advertised, and before too long I was up and running with my complete user environment on the new MacBook Pro.

No hitches. Non-native softare was running faster in emulation than it did natively on my old 667mhz G4. I was having a great time checking out the impressive speed improvements, as well as Front Row, when it occurred to me that I should run software update.

Wow, there was a lot of updates available. I forgot that I had just yesterday warned my co-workers abut reports of serious problems with the latest software update. No kidding. Five hours later and a dozen tries at fixing the “hang on start-up” problem using various tricks that worked for others I gave up and am now re-installing the OS from scratch. I’ll do the FireWire target transfer again, but I won’t be doing the software update until Apple gets this one sorted out.

Bad Apple!

4:00am update. This is clearly not an Apple but a Lemon. Strange scraping noise coming from my 7200rpm HD. Everything seems to take forever to do. Installs just sit there doing nothing for what seems like eternity. Software updates fail unexpectedly. At the end of it all, it won’t boot up.

Nope, this Lemon is going back to its maker. I hope it isn’t representative. If so, Apple will suffer further decline in their reputation for quality. Sorry 667, you’re back in play.

This is what Verity thought of her first taste of bananas. If she could talk, she would be saying “Oh, baby. I’m going to like this food thing.”
