Roberts said this weekend: “In retrospect, it was probably unwise to have taken money that could have looked like it would result in a political slant. I am adamant this could not have affected the outcome of the research.”

But my favorite part is:

Yesterday was half and half. I was glad to see the Pack win, I'm a Favre fan, but disappointed to see the Pats win! Somebody beat them please! I can't stand to listen to all the networks,websites, newspapers, and magazines talk about them! That being said, I think it's safe to say that those guys are the best football team to ever play. I can't stand them, but I can admit that they are absolutely the best. Now, on to the Giants/Cowboys game. Many people are predicting an upset by the Giants.....which is why I'm worried. The Giants always play better when they feel like nobody believes they will win. I heard a possibly related story that Jessica Simpson was kidnapped early this morning. She was last seen being stuffed into a NY Giants equipment bag and driven away by two men in Giants jerseys. Coincidence? You be the judge. ;) Playoff Sunday!!!!

Iraqi Lawmakers Pass Key Benchmark De-Baathification Law

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s parliament adopted legislation Saturday on the reinstatement of thousands of former supporters of Saddam Hussein’s Baath party to government jobs, a key benchmark sought by the United States as a step toward easing sectarian tensions.

I certainly hope they are right.
