I can’t believe Lewis “Scooter” Libby managed to resign before he was fired. What would it take for the Bush administration to actually fire someone? Is there any leadership at all in the White House? Cheney Adviser Resigns After Indictment – Yahoo! News: “Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff resigned Friday after he was [...]

What’s not to like about a movie review from someone who hasn’t seen the movie? Power Line: Here’s One I Won’t Be Seeing: “Here’s One I Won’t Be Seeing I shuddered when I heard that a movie called North Country was being made out of the Jenson case, in which a group of female miners [...]
