Just a reminder: Today is the anniversary of the Impeachment of this man. We can't remember his name but we remember the party.

Quote of The Day
"People think it's African, but it's not. I put it around Christmas because
I
knew that's when a lot of 'bloods' [Blacks] would be partying."
--Ron Karenga, convicted felon and "investor" of Kwanzaa
A Sob Too Far: Blaming a ludicrous as well as phony piece of reporting from
Afghanistan on "the fog of war" a helmetless Geraldo is scrambling to bail
himself out of a situation that should have him yanked back home and fired.
Or,
fired and left there for that matter.
The Baltimore Sun was the first to
complain. There will be a lot more.
This Morning's Mental Engine Starter: Michael Kelly's column deals with a
Yalie twit who is wrestling with how to "judge" September 11.
You won't need that second cup of coffee.
Here's someone else who should be snatched home.
Perhaps this kid needs to take next semester off and help find body parts at
Ground Zero.
Krauthammer On The God That Failed: After you read Kelly this morning you
must read
Charles Krauthammer's stunning piece
on the war and what really
matters. It set us to wondering: Who exactly was it who asked "Why do they
hate us?"? And, why should we care?
Pity The Liberal Pundits: One can't help but feel sorry for the state of
liberal punditry these days. The collapse of Enron offers a tiny glimmer of
hope to the likes of
Joe Conason in today's Observer
but it should quickly
fade.
All one need do is whisper two words. "Ron" and "Brown".
Ldotter Note: We hope today's picture isn't too upsetting. If so, scroll on
by. But, we felt this anniversary should be commemorated and that you should
know that the last Sunday's New York Times Book Review, in a slight but
sympathetic review of Marvin Kalb's book on the press and Monica Lewinsky,
said, straightfacedly, that the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy "forced Clinton to
lie" to the grand jury. Ahhhhhhh, sic transit gloria.
