The Lunch Rush.

Hillarynow.com begins its plan to draft Hillary Clinton to run for president in Nashville today.

Drudge pens article about John Podhoretz's new book, Can She Be Stopped? Hillary Clinton Will Be the Next President of the United States Unless..., say that Hillary will be president if the GOP doesn't wise up to the challenge; book: "...the first female president of the United States will have to be a bitch. And Hillary is a bitch."

An editorial from the Hill News Congress Blog talks about the Dems' confidence in their ability to take back the House in November.

The latest leak in the media is that Valerie Plame is shopping a book proposal; why are all people sell-outs, these days? What some people would do for some cash, I swear....

The use of We Shall Overcome and comparing the immigrants' rights struggle to the one MLK faced back in the '60s have left some African-Americans in this country with a bitter taste in their mouth; "Some blacks bristle at the comparison between the civil rights movement and the immigrant demonstrations, pointing out that black protesters in the 1960's were American citizens and had endured centuries of enslavement, rapes, lynchings and discrimination before they started marching."

Here's something to remember the next time you eat: Raleigh police have arrested a man in connection with a food-tampering case at a local grocery store, using a syringe to inject some unknown substance into food; the scariest part: "I buy chicken. I may look into it a bit more, but it doesn't seem like it's a huge issue for me," said shopper Emily Morrison.

Connecticut joins other states in protecting the rights of journalists, both online and offline, by preventing them from prosecution should they refuse to give up the name of a source; funniest part of the article: "People rely on the Drudge Report for information, and there are blogs with unknown authors," Farr said. Ha ha!

Another person working for Homeland Security gets busted for sex-related crimes with a minor; how many does this make now?? It's Homeland Security...you'd think these assholes know how to run a background check!

Another sex crime with a minor: a 69-year-old morning news anchor in Memphis has been charged with statutory rape; I guess it's not a good week for these clowns.

Vice President Dick Cheney accused Russia on Thursday of backsliding on democracy and urged it to stop using energy supplies for "blackmail" in one of Washington's sharpest rebukes to Moscow; backsliding on democracy?? Pot to kettle, Slick Dick!

Follow-up to the Cheney/Russia thing: Kremlin calls Dicks' remarks "completely incomprehensible;" seriously, Washington, what the hell...are we yearning for the days of the cold war there in the White House???

In a move to show that Bush knows what diplomacy means, the White House rejects direct talks with Iran; and you thought they could be diplomatic down there in DC!

Navy chaplain may face court-martial for praying in uniform outside the White House; I'm guessing this has something to do with the separation of church and state, but as long as he wasn't firing off a few rounds into people while having a psychotic fit, what's the harm in praying?

A new book by Douglas Brinkley calls Mayor Nagin of New Orleans a "clueless, collapsing coward" while praising Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco--who cooperated with the book, by the way; bitter much, Brinkley? What, did he have better things to do instead of helping you make some money off the Katrina disaster with your book?
