Readings

I'm taking a break to mark the New Year. I figure, now that HRH has reached a total of 365 days spent on his ranch since he came to office, I'm still ahead. For those of you who really can't wait for your first dose of political analysis in 2006, I recommend the recent posts by Digby at Hullabaloo. Particularly his armchair psychology about a certain person's obsession with clearing brush.

For those more interested in hospital drama, I suggest the bizarre scene brought to us by the New York Times, placed in context by Jane Hamsher at firedoglake.
I can't help wondering how many painkillers Ashcroft was on.
