Senator Byrd knew all about it Byrd either too grand to go or didn't want to give up any nap time 'Shadow Government' Was Not a Mystery Here's the rest of the story................ Baghdad to bid for 2012 Olympics Posters: Have some fun with this room. Camel discus throw? Coalition Forces Enter Cave Complex May God bless and keep these brave men Paula Has Got Her Dukes Up Paula's worried about her nose,too. Says "Tonya won't be mean." Yeah. Travels with George: Must see movie with W at his frat boy best Sounds like a get-the-candidate docu-romp backfired. Can't wait to see.

Quote of the Week

"OK, whatever, I'm young, that's the president, he is cute, that's kind of cool, irresponsible but cool."

-Hopefully the last public words spoken by Monica Lewinsky.

Rumsfeld explains to testy press how airplanes work.

Whose War Is It Anyway? The Washington Post's Peter Baker sends this nearly front line report. It's a good example of why journos might just want to remain "embedded" at the Kabul Marriott bar and let the big guys do the heavy lifting .

Condit in Full "Wet Hen" Mode: It's down to the chicken wire for Gary "Let Me Be Me" Condit as he spends his final campaign hours with a permanent scowl on his emaciated face and avoids what he considers the tab journalists as best he can. All that expensive PR advice he's in debt for never told him - the tabs leave you alone when you 'fess up. Today will tell his sorry fate once and for all.

Say Goodnight, Cokie: It's beginning to look like Sunrise Senior City is not far off for the Roberts household. Cokie's husband bitterly departed his Sunday CNN gig earlier this year - now this report that Cokie is headed for the Medicare mall. "This Week" was getting stale but who thinks George "Gravitas" Stuffinenvelopes will change that?

Deconstructing the Dash Man: NY Post pundit, John Podhoretz, dishes up this spot-on translation of Tom Daschle's recent sniping . The man would be another harmless hack if we weren't at war but now what he has to say is.........dare we use the word? Unpatriotic.

So That Her Child Won't Starve: Amy Fisher's parole board won't let her box Tonya Harding. Amy argues it's just to feed her child. Whatever the case, Celebrity Boxing has to be the most hare-brained and hilarious idea since naked bungee jumping. The possible match ups are endless. Don't get us started. (But, Ldotters can give us some of their own on this thread. Go ahead. Knock yourself out.)

Where Does She Find the Time: Doris Kearns Goodwin 's wonderful life is unraveling like a cheap sock. It would seem impossible for her to maintain the career she does and still find time to be a historian. Tim Noah, at Slate, brings up her other non-writing activities. Busy, busy, busy . No wonder she had to have "help."
