Lets review today's events
- Another day of brutal violence in Iraq
- Soldiers to be tried for murder in death of prisoner (a general, I believe)
- AP is suing to see AWOL's records
- Ted Olson stepping down
- AWOL "interviewed" by prosecutor in Oval Office
- Cheney uses "F word" in retort to Leahey
- Ron Reagan trashes Bush in interviews all over the place

How much do you want to bet that the big headlines on all the news will be how Bill Clinton's book isn't selling well in West Pisshole, Oklahoma?

2. Were you at Grady's Newstand on Maple?
He has one copy on his shelf and not one customer has purchased it. Drudge is reporting how it has been two days and not one single customer has purchased this book from Grady yet.

3. There's more...
New evidence shows Enron Corp. was still manipulating energy markets a year after the company claims it stopped, a Democratic senator said on Thursday, asking that lawmakers haul the company back to Capitol Hill to explain the discrepancy.

Internal documents and audiotapes revealed that Enron continued manipulative trading practices virtually until its bankruptcy in December 2001 although executives told Congress in sworn testimony that those kinds of strategies stopped in December 2000, said Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington state.

Cantwell lives in a county where the local utility is battling Enron in court. She asked the Senate Commerce and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committees to hold hearings on the new evidence, obtained through legal and regulatory proceedings.

4. Forgiving the Oklahoma crack,...
you're probably onto something very close to the mark.

And the Supreme W. Court makes Cheney start over.

And Wolfowitz apologized to the press for saying that they "sit in hotels in Bagdad and publish rumors."
