Sully Finally Weighs In
Andrew Sullivan finally weighs in on Jeff Gannon and his wonder penis: I haven’t written about it because I agree completely with Glenn. The substantive case against Gannon is trivial; the irrelevant case against him (the one that’s fueled this story) is that he’s gay, has allegedly been (or still may be) a prostitute, and …
Useless Hyperbole
I found this at ‘Informed Comment’: AP reports that the one-day total for war-related violence in Iraq, including the police station bombing in Tikrit reported here yesterday morning, came to 30. That is about 11,000 persons a year if the rate were constant and extrapolated out. In fact, the wire services manage to report only …

But let’s move on to …
