obligatory mention of the biggest non-scandal to have grandstanding Democrats calling for firings (and, in the case of some politically retarded partisans, the impeachment of a non-elected official) since, well, the last time they tried pulling this same stupid stunt
them: “The lesson here is that a patriot like Joe Wilson who dares speak out against Bush policy needs to be aware that Bush’s pack of pit bulls is going to come right after his wife, even if it means they will treasonously out her as a covert agent along with the entire network of covert agents who worked and are working with her!

A brief note to Rockies’ GM Dan O’Dowd from an interested party (a protein wisdom “inside baseball” post)
Dan Miceli is not Jay Witasick. Hell, he’s not even Dan Miceli anymore. NOW GET US AN EIGHTH INNING MAN! Cheap bastard. **** update: The Zach Day and Eric Byrnes pickups were nice, though. I’ll give you that much.

Writes Balko, in his Cato news release: First, the studies CSPI cites in calling for these warnings are far from universally

Thank you
…to Wes Thompson, for the Omega Man and Two Mules for Sister Sarah DVDs. In addition to my being a huge Eastwood fan, watching Charlton Heston get it on with a post-apocalyptic, albino-battling Soul Sistah is—from where I’m standing—almost as good as waking up to find that your pillows have turned to solid gold, or that your genitals have grown so large and beautiful that you no longer feel the
