I will be on vacation for the next two weeks. I have promised not to touch a computer during that time, so you will not see anything new posted here. For the latest in what's happening with the Foley scandal and other news of interest, go to DailyKos or Talking Points Memo.

I will have a report on what it's like to ride Amtrak from Reno to Denver when I get back.

So concerned with jumping overboard they can't keep their stories straight:

Guess what? The story changed again! CNN just reported that the chief of staff, who is saying he "resigned," even though ABC says he was fired, is now saying he resigned because the Democrats were trying to use him as an election issue to hurt his boss, Tom Reynolds. Uh, then why is it that ABC is reporting that you're telling people you quit/were fired because you're being scapegoated by the Republican leadership, and that Denny Hastert in particular demanded that you be fired? Please, all of you, keep talking.

Reynolds just fired his chief of staff for his role in the Foley scandal, but the details surrounding the firing suggest that Reynolds lied about his, and his chief of staff's, involvement in the page scandal.

Please read the rest. It's a hoot.
