A rainy memorial day. Ugh. And, of coruse, today isn't looking much better. Although the sun poked out for an hour or two yesterday afternoon, and again this morning for 1/2 an hour, overall things remain gray and cold.

To brighten things up, here's an interesting piece on the Clark campaign. The logic sounds good: if Clark waits a bit he can save money and then swoop in closer to the end, much in the same way that conservative idiots are salivating for Sen. Clinton to do so. Fortunately, I don't think she'll give them that chance.

To darken things, check out this article about the Texas GOP folks and yet another tape with a troubling "gap" that was erased due to an "equipment malfunction". Nixon's spirit is clearly alive and well.

Finally, to even things out buzz over to this piece from JMM about the IC and ongoing efforts to "find the truth". His view is much more nuanced than the pieces that ran in the Post and the Times that he cites.
