New OMB Director nominated.

President Bush has tapped Rob Portman, the current U.S. trade director (since U.S. trade efforts have been such a smashing success lately).

    Quote of week (as reported in the Washington Post) Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Greg Newbold – Former director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

    … Adding these together, he concluded with the words that have come to constitute the definitive rebuke to the administration’s leaders: “My sincere view is that the commitment of our forces to this fight was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions — or bury the results.”

    #6 – I was making a REALLY lame joke, Sharon. She was in the latest Star Wars movies, and is currently in “V for Vendetta.” I saw “Vendetta” this weekend and really liked it. Spooky parallels to the US today.
