"Must Read" Alert: In case Monday got away from you. Please don't miss the Seymour Hersh piece, What's Went Wrong, in this week's New Yorker. Hersh, always controversial, but painfully on-the-money on this one, pulls the thread on the whole shoddy intelligence suit we've been wearing for a decade. Stunning stuff.

Nailed: There is just no way to keep the seeping facts of the Clinton legacy from oozing out. No matter how many liberal columnists frantically true to scoop the ooze out of sight. What was, was. What is, is. The New York Post editorial page says it all.

Heart Warming & Fairly Meaningless News: The next time you feel guilty because no one could get home in time to feed the cat, remember this item. A New York kitty was found alive in the rubble of the Trade Center after 18 days without food.

Even Monsters Call Mom: Shortly before September 11, Osama bin Laden called his step-mom and told her something was up and he was going to pull a fade. Sounds like info good enough for Colin Powell's non-forthcoming White Paper.

Wussification Goes International: A Saudi prince tells Reuters that Osama bin Laden had an unhappy childhood!!! Guess when you are one of fifty you have to fight for attention. We point this piece out because it is such nonsense but mainly for the hilarious thread attached. Our particular fav was posted by Viking: "All those repressed childhood memories. And the abuse at the Clever Camel Daycare Center." Please remember, if we don't laugh we are doomed.

Ah, Now We Feel Better: Runner up for the quote of the day is this astounding statement by DNC spokesman Maria Cardona on the start up of more fund raising for the Democrats. "We've started. We've resumed, though obviously in a nonpartisan way."
