Tommy's Girl Trouble: Why did Tom Daschle stick his big toe into the Presidential pool only the yank it right back out?  Doug Ireland, writing in the LA Weekly documents in detail what we all knew but not the half of. Now, don't get excited. His problem is his wife.

The Not So Talented Mr. Ritter: Bouncing around the Internet for a couple of days has been this rather startling story of bad behavior and cover-up on the part of  Saddam's big bud, Scott Ritter, probably one of the most annoying men on television today. He either has a Peter Townsend problem or he was researching a book.

What's He Been Reading?  Peter Goldmark, the outgoing chairman of the International Herald Tribune took a parting shot at the New York Times saying it was too "America First."

Salon Can See Clearly Now: Salon magazine founder David Talbott, after burning through $80 million of someone else's money, will make everyone pay to read the Little Magazine That Couldn't and comes to this startling realization about business life.  Talbot says. "There's no viable media without developing a base of revenue."

Mentioning the Unmentionable: One of the best takes on the "Peace" demonstration on Sunday comes from Wes Pruden in the Washington Times this morning where he actually tells us what we couldn't have known watching it on TV. Yes, even in the cold and under layers of Gortex there was.....body odor.

Who's Going to Burp Him? Saddam Hussein informed the world yesterday that despite the biggest military buildup in history circling his world he "sleeps like a baby." What this really means is that he wakes up every two hours screaming.

Moving On Up: Thanks for your patience while we got our new server pointed in your direction. Yesterday was probably the worst with the slow loads and time-outs but our chief webmonkeys (read techno-genius) informs us that our troubles are over. Up, up and away!
