3. LOL when he said Dubya was "cleaning up" his language about what he

originally said about what he would do if someone leak classified information out of the White House. This must be RNC flack Melhman's "talking point" today.

4. Did you catch this item in the Washington Post?

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), joined by 52 other House members, has introduced legislation that would allow unmarried employees of the federal government to apply for health insurance, retirement and other benefits for their domestic partners.

"The time has come for the federal government to recognize the changing workforce and value its employees," Frank said in a statement. "Corporate America is way out in front of the government because they know it is good business."

The congressman, who is gay, called it "an issue of fairness" to give non-married government workers the same rights as their married colleagues.

The measure obviously won't pass in a GOP controlled House mired in a 16th century mindset, but it's still nice to see him standing up for what's right.
