Republicans turned on one
another Wednesday after losing control of power in Congress -- blaming an
out-of-touch, self-promoting party leadership for abandoning ethics and
conservative principles and turning off the country.
The first political casualty was House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., who
announced he would step down from the party's leadership.
Do you know
whom they showed voting on the news? Pastor Ted Haggard. Actually, he wasn't
voting. He was just hanging around the voting booths looking for dangling chads.

...The latest inquiry into
Tillman's death by friendly fire should end next month; authorities have said
they intend to release to the public only a synopsis of their report. But The
Associated Press has combed through the results of 2 1/4 years of investigations
reviewed thousands of pages of internal Army documents, interviewed dozens of
people familiar with the case and uncovered some startling findings.
One of the four shooters, Staff Sgt. Trevor Alders,
had recently had PRK
laser eye surgery. He said although he could see two sets of hands "straight
up," his vision was "hazy."...

Said Rangel: "Mr. Cheney enjoys an office on the second floor of the House of

Committee chairman... I talked to Nancy Pelosi about it this morning...
I'm trying to find some way to be gentle as I restore the dignity of that

This image of the Orion nebula, taken by NASA's Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes and released November 7, 2006, shows an infrared and visible-light composite that indicates that a 'gang' of four monstrously massive stars at the center of the cloud may be the main culprits of mayhem in the familiar Orion constellation. The stars are collectively called the 'Trapezium' and can be communally identified as the yellow smudge near the center of the image. Swirls of green in Hubble's ultraviolet and visible-light view reveal hydrogen and sulfur gas that have been heated and ionized by intense ultraviolet radiation from the Trapezium's stars.
