“You people are really nuts. There’s kids dying in the war, the price of oil right now — there’s better things in this world to be thinking about than who served Hillary Clinton at Maid-Rite and who got a tip and who didn’t get a tip.” Anita Esterday, server at Maid-Rite restaurant. This is why the campaign season should be shorter. And shame on the NYT for trying to pretend they weren’t blathering about this either. Cross posted from...

“Kill All The Lawyers”??
Pakistan Attempts To Crush Protests By Lawyers: ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Nov. 5 — Angry protests by thousands of lawyers in Lahore and other cities on Monday demonstrated the first organized resistance to the emergency rule imposed by the Pakistani president, Gen.

Chuck Schumer & Dianne Feinstein: Judas’
Or would that be “Judi” in the plural? Democratic Defections Clear Path for Mukasey: “The nomination fight over attorney general nominee Michael B. Mukasey effectively came to an end yesterday, as two key Senate Democrats parted from their colleagues and announced their support for the former judge despite his controversial statements on torture. “The orchestrated announcements by Sens.

Required Saturday Reading
Both Bob Herbert of the NYT and Peter Baker of the WaPo have must read columns up on this beautiful Saturday. From Herbert: “ Mr. Gore was taken to task for his taste in clothing and for such grievous offenses as sighing or, allegedly, rolling his eyes.
