Former Bush Iraq War planner, Paul Wolfowitz, now head of the World Bank, apologized for helping his girlfriend get a raise at the State Department... Which points up one of the major differences between Republicans and Democrats. Clinton didn't have to pay for it.
British military authorities have withdrawn their permission for those captured sailors and Marines to sell their stories... But not before Faye Turney, the only woman in the group, was signed to appear in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue.
Bush reversed course and agreed to give the Guest Workers Program another shot... Much to the relief of the National Association of Illegal Immigrants who gave him a 21-leaf blower salute.
Don't wonder off----there's more below the fold.
The Army will spend $1 billion in recruitment bonuses this year... Wouldn't it make more sense just to pay the insurgents to stop blowing them up?
In an article on the Supreme Court, USA Today reports that "occasionally Roberts and Scalia launch into rapid, back and forth dialogues that recall the routines of Abbott and Costello".... While Clarence Thomas falls closer to Norm Crosby and Professor Backwards.
According to his GOP rival Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, who claims to be "a lifelong hunter," has actually been hunting only twice... Once with Cheney and once with Phil Spector.

Monica Goodling, the Gonzales aide scheduled to testify at the Senate hearings, resigned... On the same day rats jumped from a Greek cruise ship about to sink in the Aegean. Coincidence?
The New York Police Department has hired their first Muslim chaplin... Following a stringent job interview that included water boarding.
Bush visited Walter Reed Army Hospital to apologize for the shoddy troop treatment... Well, he sure as hell wasn't there to visit Tony Snow.
Brigham Young University was urged by students and faculty to recind Dick Cheney's invitation to deliver this year's commencement address because "he lacks personal honesty and integrity"... Seems Ol' "12 Gauge" just doesn't measure up to the standards set last year by Tom DeLay.
