… and Chris is swamped, and Mo is preparing for his appearance on “The Tonight Show” (tonight! tune in!), I’m sure the rest of you would appreciate the chance to kick this around:
Former CIA officer sues Cheney, Libby, Rove over leak
There ya go kids. Enjoy.

The word is that Wednesday will begin with undead columnist Robert Novak revealing that Karl Rove was a source in the outing of Valerie Plame. That sound you don’t hear right now is that of jaws failing to drop all across America. That overpowering aroma that you smell? That’s a tiny quantity […]

Call it “Schrodinger’s Ball.” Or, yes, “Felberpalooza.” But the first ever get-together for this site’s denizens is going to happen, it seems. The official page for the gathering is right here. Are you on the bus? IS there a bus? What kind of bus?

A quick caveat: Yours […]

If you scan the headlines today, you might notice that a Lebanese man confessed to plotting to bomb a New York transit tunnel. The plan was in its early stages, but it has been foiled. Delays on the PATH train will therefore continue to be New Jersey Transit’s fault. The plot […]

Joe Lieberman seems pretty determined to keep his job as Senator from the Nutmeg State. (It is also the state that promises to be, as its tourism slogan states, “Full of Surprises.” But, if you’re not blown away by the surprises offered at the Mystic Seaport, well, there’s still always nutmeg.)

(You can bet that the few starving North Koreans who aren’t brainwashed are muttering the same […]

Kenneth “Kenny Boy” Lay is dead, which means there is now one less person sucking on the $6.86 left in the Enron pension fund.
Services will be later this week, followed by a private and secret shredding of his remains.

And you know the funny thing? I didn’t even ask about Mary Cheney. They obviously, the candidate, the Democratic Candidate, Senator Edwards, just felt […]

Atrios threw me the ball this evening. And I will indeed pick it up. Tomorrow.
Because though I probably do have something to say about the preposterousness in question, I’ve been out.
Because July 1st is probably only Canada Day to most of you. Or, if you’re Mo, it’s also Princess Di’s birthday. […]
