Political news from CNN and others
WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s new information about the hunt for a running mate for Barack Obama. A member of the Congressional Black Caucus who’s met with Obama’s vice-presidential screening team says she offered the names of former senators John Edwards and Sam Nunn — and was told they’re on the list.

Scapegoat*
Alright. Look that word up today and it’ll have a picture of a two-headed monster named Tannin and Cioffi. Don’t get me wrong: Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin are probably guilty of a lot more than they’re being charged with here. But, are they the biggest crooks on Wall Street? Can anybody tell me what…

Tiger is . . . soft
Let me put it this way: It’s not like he was being tackled as he hit the little white ball into the hole in the ground. So, please, spare me the fist pumps and all the other histrionics. He may very well be a phenomenal, even a freak of a golfer. I’ll grant him that.…

Moon in Jupiter!
When I first read this I thought, surely, somebody’s got to be joking. I mean, it’s good of the former vice-president to make an endorsement when it would actually make a difference. I’m tired, busy, and, did I mention tired? I don’t have time for Al Gore’s nonsense. Whoopty damn do! I don’t want to…
