Rudy Redux: The New York Observer reports that Sir Rudy isn't going anywhere for very long and will be back on a national platform soon . If nothing else (like his relentless appearances since leaving office) was the tip-off, the short speaking role for his Lady Love Judy Nathan in the last 9/11 docu-drama on HBO proves he's ready to roll.

Shooed Away: With all it has to do, the White House found time to shoo Hillary away from the money trough once again. She had been looking for $90 million to buy New York love. WTC victims, if the money were being properly handled, would be awash with donated money not the taxpayers.

Hide In Plain Sight: Terror trackers say that 23 baddies have "snuck" into the country since November. From the looks of it they could have come in en masse dressed like the cast of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and no one would have done anything. Those of us trying go out, on the other hand, had to have DNA tests and leave our first born at the gate as collateral

Cooked Case: Dr. Henry Lee, ambulance chaser supreme, tells the Washington Times that the Levy case is solvable. One wonders - Greta van Sustern and a crew went to the crime scene Monday night and came back with things like a piece of rope and a condom wrapper missed by the D.C. cops . Any wonder it took a year to find her lying in a city park?

Ooooooh, Scary: Ominous doings at the Washington Post as most reporters withhold their by-lines in today's editions. The Guild always starts strikes in this curious manner and it says they think people care. We will spend some time figuring out who this is causing pain. Most of everything we hear on television is anonymously written. We still manage to stay informed.

Things He Never Said: Al Kamen's In The Loop column in the Washington Post that does not bear his name this a.m. (see how silly this move is?) gets to the bottom of the supposed remark by Bush regarding Brazil and blacks. It turns out that it is just as the White House so succinctly stated "total crap." Thanks to the "anonymous" Al for tracking this down.
