It’s none of my business, but I’ve noticed that since the lovely and talented Mox Ie announced that she had a boyfriend, the largely male readership of her blog has dropped off significantly.

Gosh. Look who’s showing all the grace of Gollum: It has long been known that Mr Clinton is angry at the way his own reputation was tarnished during the primary battle when several of his comments were interpreted as racist.

The Washington Post  gives front-page space today to Democratic accusations that Republicans are blocking popular legislation as a strategy to produce a “do-nothing” Congress.  The reality is a bit more nuanced.
