This is long overdue- why now? Did it take this long for it to sink in that this was a ridiculous conflict of interest? What does that tell us about other decisions? Will it take until the middle of next year to realize that the Iraq war was a mistake and that Hussein wasn't behind 9/11?

The Justice Department will name a special prosecutor shortly.

In other news, Karl Rove has just resigned from his Bush administration post and is looking for a "special" job in the Washington D.C. area. Here's hoping there's a job opening soon, we all know how bad the job market is.

There's only one person running next year that's unelectable. The candidates should believe that any one of them can beat Bush because damn near all of them can. Candidates who accuse the other candidates of being unelectable are so divorced from reality that, ironically enough, it makes them unelectable.

I like the ACLU's consistency- they don't shy away from defending people who have denounced them. Shows they believe in what they are doing, good for them.
