—No, I didn’t forget.  But if you want the truth, I simply can’t find the little guy.  No note, no email, no messages on the answering machine, nothing. Normally, I’d be getting a little worried about now, but when I went to the fridge to grab a snack, I noticed that my bucket of Corona Light minis was missing—along with a foot long roast beef and cheddar hoagie, and a

[update:  for those Mahablog / Greenwald readers who happen to click through (and not simply rely on the inference that I have called for the prosecution of all reporters, or called them nefarious, traitoress cockroaches), see both my second and penultimate paragraphs.] From FOXNews: A CIA officer has been relieved of his duty after being caught leaking classified information to the media.

Using recently translated Harmony Database documents, an intriguing American Thinker post attempts to connect some dots concerning Iraq’s supposedly non-existent nuclear program: Our contributor Ray Robison notes a startling early 2001 article from the U.K. Sunday Times, claiming Saddam had and tested a nuclear weapon. What makes this old, and apparently dismissed, claim more viable is a document in the Harmony Database (what we call here “The Saddam Files”) recently

“Had I fought Iran like I did that wet bunny, Reagan was soooo meat.”* **** (h/t Allah)

From the WSJ [subscription only]: We’ve all heard about the woman who won millions in a lawsuit after spilling hot coffee on herself. But now there’s a new contender for the title of most outrageous jury award. Last week a court in Texas demanded $27.5 million in damages for a woman of Iranian descent who claimed she was racially profiled during an altercation with Southwest Airlines flight attendants.
