Friday Fun

Just a couple quick items:
  • Burris won't seek reelection next year. Thank goodness.
  • The latest revelation in the Senator Ensign (R-NV) scandal: his parents paid his mistress $96,000. Silence doesn't come cheap.
  • Peggy Noonan just tore into Palin today in the WSJ. Money quote: "Really, she is the most careless sower of discord since George W. Bush, who fractured the party and the movement that made him." Either that, or: "But, she is a ponder-free zone. She can memorize the names of the presidents of Pakistan, but she is not going to be able to know how to think about Pakistan. " It's really that harsh.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Peggy Noonan and Garrison Keillor should have a radio show together. A mix of Prairie Home Companion & Crossfire.

They would be way cooler than Maitlin & Carville.

Tonight's plan: practice making Dark & Stormys on a dark and stormy night:
