Deb is unhappy with whoever stole her food from the refrigerator at work. This is the first I’d heard of Skinny Cows.
Jaquandor contemplates headless chickens, replacements for Britney (a regular series) and ER.
Brian Micklethwait, having nothing better to do then surf the normally unwatched digital end of British TV, found and watched part of an interview with a woman whose secretly filmed undergarments are apparently now circulating on the web. Brian now regrets not watching more of the interview and contemplates what the rules should be regarding this tyupe of filming.
Tim Dunlop recommends this title for David Kay’s new book:Still haven’t found what I’m looking for. Well, these guys all publish a book don’t they.
Josh Marshall notes that Richard Perle confirms that Drudge’s and the WSJ’s ($) latest hack at Clark’s Iraq postion are pure bs.

Not for my Sherriff

The opponent telling him to drop out looks right on:

A candidate for Denton County sheriff who posted faked pictures of “friends and supporters” on his campaign Web site has replaced them with pictures of animals.
The original series of pictures on John Dupree’s site showed people in various settings holding signs supporting the Republican candidate. They were taken from Web sites that offer generic photos of people holding up blank signs, Dupree said.
Dupree said his webmaster told him the fake pictures were being used as placeholders until they could be replaced with pictures of real supporters. The webmaster didn’t think to include a disclaimer, he said.

If this wasn’t just an ‘innocent’ mistake this guy doesn’t have the sense or the ethics to be anyone’s sheriff. And, his webmaster(s) should get a permanent note in their resume that they screwed up royally as well.
