Dan Rather, the man who, like the Eveready bunny, seems to keep going and going and going. Or, to coin another phrase: "He's back!"

I seriously doubt that anyone has not heard about the vandalism of the Vietnam Memorial by now. FoxNews has an update where the Park Police confirm that it was an act of vandalism and not an accident. 14 of the panels were damaged by this despicable crime.

The Associated Press -Ipsos poll on reading in America has been released.

The Hill has just released its list of the 50 most "beautiful" people on Capitol Hill. Number 4 on the list is that left-wingnut from San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi. Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) is not even on the list, let alone in the top five.

This is in the category of "It's about bloody time!" Ward Churchill, now former professor of Colorado University, has been fired for academic misconduct and plagiarism.
