Happy Festivus, dear readers!

And, by the way, point your browser to Columbia University's WKCR for the annual Bach Fest. A 24 hour-a-day, week long celebration the station has been doing for years. Don't crash their servers, though.

Uh oh. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy shows up in Yakima, Washington.

Rumsfeld's role in appeasing Saddam Hussein as the tyrant used chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war gets clearer. Of course, Hussein's use of chemical weapons in the 1980s was used by the administration as a justification for the war (and one I agreed with). Juan Cole has a fierce indictment of the whole Reagan admin crew who kissed Saddam's tookus and are now back in power -- politically or economically.

All this time I thought that the "Donald Rumsfeld has decided to return to the private sector" clock was ticking loudly. Mickey Kaus hears noisy rumors that Wolfie is taking the fall, instead.

Meanwhile, the Bush admin. Park Service, inspired by the Clinton Park Service's efforts to reintroduce wolves into Yellowstone, has been -- so far unsuccessfully -- trying to reintroduce snowmobiles in the same park. Instead they are focused on...this?

"Alex wants to compete in the postseason, but he also wants to help Texas be a champion and be a part of what we are doing here," Hicks said. "From our conversations, I know he loves Texas and he's happy being here." Right. Read that first sentence from Hick's statement again. Does it make any sense at all?
