Hard Boiled

I don't know why, but I suddenly got the urge to revive the above picture of Dennis Hastert from my files. Hmm... must be something in the air.

Oh, and Condi? Well, yes, she's still on her love train tooting around the Middle East, and there are lots of pictures. Unfortunately, the results are pretty boring. Trust me, no head-coverings or other noteworthy hairdo perils exist. Oh, and I don't think she's impressing anybody over there. Like, she's in Egypt, OK? And she says, like, how about you Egyptians help us spread democracy around a little harder, OK? And they're all, like "Oh, Condi, we love you, but how about if we don't?" I'll do a round-up later.

UPDATE (Thursday morning): Apparently Denny is locked in his house this morning, trapped by legions of nosy reporters. Quote of the day (so far) from TPM Muckraker: If he comes out, and he sees his shadow, does that mean that he'll resign?
