Gale Norton resigns and a funny.

Interior Secretary Gale Norton resigned, "suddenly," all the reports say. She has been tied to a lot of Abramoff shennanigans including payments of $50,000 by his clients to her pet charity. So, "suddenly" might have some meaning.

On my local Pacifica radio station one day while I was in traffic, they ran a section of the Senate hearings into Ms. Norton's "environmental group." I can tell you that this will come up again and you will become familiar with the name Italia Federici who fronted for the charity.

Also, a funny. Steven Colbert's The Word - The Long War. If you've got three and a half minutes, it's funny and has a sharp point.

I keep thinking that these political humor shows like Colbert and The Daily Show will go down historically next to the turn of the century political cartoonists.

(A little under the weather today, so....)
