The Midday Quickie.



Bush Makes Surprise Visit to Iraq to Press Leadership. More roadside bomb attacks and deaths ensue. Looks like a free and secure Iraq to me.

Rep. Alan B. Mollohan (D-W.Va.) gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Mixing congressional appropriator duties with one's commercial investments is not very ethical, coming from a guy who used to be a ranking member of the House Ethics Committee.

Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy Gets Probation After Guilty Plea. The streets in D.C. may be bit safer now that another drunken-driving Kennedy is off the road.

Fraudulent Katrina and Rita Claims Top $1 Billion. Benefits for prison inmates, a vacation in Hawaii, and season football tickets. Congress and FEMA get an A+ for their financial oversight.

City Farmers and Celebrities Evicted. A 14 year effort to keep an urban farm in the heart of South LA fails.

Strapped States Try New Route, Lease Toll Roads to Foreign Firms. Foreign countries now control our debt and our Congress...we might as well give them our roads while we're at it.

In Baghdad, Bush Pledges Support to Iraqi Leader. The question remains, does Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki support GW?
