Ice ice baby.
Snow, sleet, freezing rain, work, wet feet, freezing freezing freezing.
Arrrrghhh.



Get me rewrite!
The revisionist historians at work in the WH

'Right now America is going through an Orwellian moment. On both the foreign policy and the fiscal fronts, the Bush administration is trying to rewrite history, to explain away its current embarrassments.

'Do you remember when the C.I.A. was reviled by hawks because its analysts were reluctant to present a sufficiently alarming picture of the Iraqi threat? Your memories are no longer operative. On or about last Saturday, history was revised: see, it's the CIA's fault that the threat was overstated. Given its warnings, the administration had no choice but to invade.

'Last year Laurie Mylroie published a book titled Bush vs. the Beltway: How the C.I.A. and the State Department Tried to Stop the War on Terror. According to the jacket copy, "Mylroie describes how the C.I.A. and the State Department have systematically discredited critical intelligence about Saddam's regime, including indisputable evidence of its possession of weapons of mass destruction."' - - snipped from Paul Krugman's editorial in the NY Times.
