Libby’s gonna get it

Or at least, that’s what the N.Y. Times says.  Rove apparently "remains under investigation."

The White House Braces

Also known as, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Welcome aboard, John

No better way to kick off your rookie year on the highest court in the land than by hearing Anna Nicole Smith’s case.

Most uncomfortable moment of the weekend

…and the prize goes to Mike Myers.

Myers and Kanye West on NBC’s Hurricane Katrina benefit Friday night — just a moment after West strayed from the teleprompter and said "George Bush doesn’t care about black people."
