Now You Have Found Her, Never Let Her Go: Once again this morning the media, in full cry is shaking Martha Stewart's reputation like a rag doll. Here the New York Times connects the friendship/money dots in more depth. Those who know say the lady has a wafer thin sense of humor, particularly about herself. Too bad, having one would have permitted her to show up on the morning show to talk about frozen desserts. Now we will never know.

Fun to Watch: There is something very satisfying about watching the democrat response to anything bad in the news that they hope they can lay on the administration. It's even more fun to watch it not stick. Here the Christian Science Monitor notes this futile effort. Here, Tony Blankley details the behavior of one of their least effective practitioners.

Doing Well And Getting Even: The Washington Post makes note of Solicitor General Ted Olson's accomplishments this morning in a piece that shows how when the going gets tough, the tough get going. (We are trying to remember where we first heard that quote.)

Lousy Food, Portions Too Small: The Taliban Johnny trial grinds along with more whining about his meals from his handlers. Far from being starved and tortured he was served well and regularly. We wonder about the pork chops listed, however. Perhaps the hungry Muslim forgot they are a no-no.

It's Always Something: Put down that bottle of Evian, you may be killing yourself. Now comes a story from Reuters that some in the military are "over-hydrating" themselves and with this heat we civilians could be next.

LDotter Note: In lieu of Short Cuts for Thursday and Friday we will be running a special Fourth of July Roundtable. California houseguesting Igor will be in charge so be gentle. The Fourth is his favorite holiday and he would hate to have to jump ugly with anyone who doesn't love this country the way he does.
