6,000 Ohioans apply for 300 Wal-Mart jobs. Ah, the Bush economy.
Fmr Rep Henry Hyde (R-IL), who crusaded against abortion and for the impeachment of President Clinton, has died at 83.
Since everybody else is talking about it, I thought I might as well mention it as well. You know the piece on the front page of the Post today about Obama not being a Muslim but that there are dirty rumors that say he is and try to take advantage of vitriolic anti-Muslim sentiment among […]
The Giuiani campaign, which refused to comment for The Politico’s story yesterday which suggested that he had used taxpayer money to fund secret extramarital sexcapades is now denying the entire thing.

So, Trent Lott is resigning (probably to pursue lucrative lobbying options before new ethics rules take place). That’s all fine and well.
