Beating The Old Grey Mare
The Grey Lady, the Paper Of Record, the laughingstock of intellectual rigor in the real world, the New York Times, reports a drop in profits of fifty-two percent.
I have but one question: Besides the idiot left and the cloistered egos at the Times, who the hell didn't see this coming?
Kurt Weldon Stands Up For Able Danger
Michelle Malkin has a roundup of the latest news on Able Danger, including Kurt Weldon's threat to resign from Congress if it doesn't meet his measure in seriously pursuing the matter. Weldon is insisting upon answers from some pretty big dogs in the CIA and DIA and I would not yet bet on his success, but I'm pulling for him.
Meanwhile, the Blogosphere's Reaction™ ("the BR": You saw it here first) to the stonewalling and obstruction by the powers lined up against Weldon and Able Danger could become a case study of the new media's influence on old school political tactics.

On Plame-Wilson et al. No stones unturned.
