This is a fantastic idea:
Three of the eight announced 2008 Republican presidential campaigns are considering retired Army Gen. Tommy Franks as their pick for vice presidential candidate, according to Republican Party operatives.
“Tora Bora” Tommy on the ticket. Let the clown show continue.
Bush: Congress shouldn’t overreact to mortgage market woes - MarketWatch 8/8/07:
President Bush said that Congress shouldn’t overreact to the turmoil in the mortgage sector. “I think the government tends to overreact at times with laws that are counter-productive,” Bush said Wednesday in a television interview on Fox News. “What we ought to be doing is […]
Slate comes to Larry Craig’s rescue with the Bathroom Sex FAQ:
Q: Is it wise to use a “wide stance” when you go to the bathroom?
A: No. When you’re sitting on the toilet, spreading your feet and leaning forward tightens the levator ani muscles that control defecation. If you’re having trouble passing stools, you should […]

I’ll have my Katrina anniversary photos up tomorrow with some thoughts about what’s going on here.
