Iowa Caucus Insanity, Hillary, Bill and his sax, Mukasey,

On Politics:

-Somebody agrees with me in the insanity of the Iowa caucus system:

Iowa: What a crappy way to pick a winner

That would be over at dkos. Read more here for the details. Of course, it's a little late to be screaming about the method. Put that scream on hold for another month or year and then get busy about changing it. Ok?

-Great picture of a smiling Hillary over at tpm which also includes the news that she will be a surprise guest on Letterman tonight. Where was it that hubby Bill tooted his sax back in the early 90's? Go here to see Bill doing a pretty good job of it! About the video>>>

The occasion was the 40th anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival, held in a tent on the lawn of the White House. A host of jazz legends played, and at the conclusion Clinton called them all up on stage for a bow. He said a little speech, thanks for coming and goodnight, and then... almost as soon as he finished talking, people in the audience started yelling for him to play. And then the musicians all started asking him to play. He said no at first... but they eventually convinced him.

-Also at tpm, Mukasey getting a special (oops, not special as it turns out) prosecutor to investigate the CIA tape destruction. That's great news. Now how about some of those other things worthy of a special prosecutor, like the attorney packing attempted by the WH? or the secret surveillance of American citizens? or the torture of innocents around the world?

Just about dinner time and we have a Gong Li movie tonight. I'm off, at least for now.
