...and claimed that his department has been “tremendous in the area of public corruption.”

Now that , I can believe. Maybe not in exactly the same sense as Gonzales meant, though.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced this morning: “I’m not going to resign. I’m going to stay focused on protecting our kids.”

Without Gonzales, who will protect our kids by teaching them that torture is perfectly reasonable and moral as long as it's Americans doing the torturing? WILL NO ONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!?

I can have homemade chicken tortilla soup for lunch (again) or I can stop when I go to the post office and get something else. Validate me in my selfish and costly choice, natterers.

Go soup, choose soup! That way I'm not the only eating it (turkey barley today, with oyster crackers, apple, and a cookie).

That cat is hilarious!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is this the only source for the "Edwards suspending campaign" incorrect news screwup? Because of one blogger with one source, a bunch of big media got it wrong? Or were there other false sources?

Politico updates false Edwards report.

Politico’s Ben Smith on his false report: “A single, confident source close to John Edwards told me this morning that Edwards was ’suspending his campaign,’ and I posted it to the blog at 11:06 this morning. My source, and I, were wrong. … I trusted the source, somebody I’ve known for several years, and who has always been reliable. And with less than an hour before Edwards was to announce, I unwisely wrote the item without getting a second source.”

CNN’s Candy Crowley doesn’t have much sympathy: “Now, Politico.com has cracker jack reporters over there.”

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Zeus and Hera were siblings, and Gaea gave birth to Uranus before conceiving all the titans and numerous other monstrous figures with him.
