The Nightly Quickie.



Misjudgments Marred U.S. Plans for Iraqi Police. Screwing up Iraq's national security comes second nature to this Bush administration; after all, they have done such a fine job with our national security. [sarcasm]

Da Vinci Code Is 2nd Biggest Opening Weekend Of All Time Worldwide With $224 Million; No. 1 International Opening Weekend with $147 Mil; $77 Mil U.S. Opening Weekend; Sony Execs Attribute Huge Success To Teen Moviegoers Globally. Matt Drudge and his Drudge Report still run the following byline: 'DA VINCI' FRIDAY RANKED #13 ALL-TIME OPENING WEEKENDS USA; TRAILS MEL GIBSON 'CHRIST'.... The fundies and the political party known as the Roman Catholic Church will not stop attacking this movie; large scale political and religious zealot defamation operation moves forward.

"If their past history of vindictively silencing me is anything to go by, MI6 will probably attempt to shut down this website, just as they previously succeeded in shutting down my old site. But just maybe, blogging may make a difference, and MI6 may try a different tactic this time. But I doubt it." says Richard Tomlinson.

Hastert Lets Cheney Have It. House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) got into a high octane verbal match with VP Dick Cheney which resulted in an immediate meeting with the president over Porter Goss being made the scapegoat as a result of major intelligence failures. Saying the words "son of a bitch" and "impeach" in the same sentence must have had motivating power for Hastert.
