Weekend filler

By Creature

The black-market, American-issued gun trade in Iraq is booming as prices rise along with the violence -- it's good to see at least capitalism, if not democracy, has taken hold. The GOP is just as torn about what to do in Iraq as the Dems -- I wonder if Chris Matthews will now start hardballing them on what their plan is. Meanwhile, the president stomps his feet and reminds the world that he is commander-in-chief and that his job is the only job that he is unwilling to outsource. And, in case you couldn't get tickets, the Rummy farewell tour is on and he's as unknowable as ever. Happy reading. Happy weekend.
