Harriet Miers is totally unqualified to be a supreme court justice. Her nomination stinks of cronyism as badly as Michael Brown's appointment as head of FEMA.

I love Best of Chicago lists. I pick up Chicago Magazine every year to peruse what they think the best place to get a tattoo, where to get the best hot dog, or who the best DJ is. New City has a Best of Chicago online now that includes, among other things, the best Chicago Landmark that no one visits (former location of John Wayn Gacy's House at 8213 W. Summerdale), Best Churrascaria (Brazilian Steakhouse, Brazzazz), or Best Art Blog (Iconoduel).

In Iraq, the Numbers are now 8 for October and 1941 in total.
