Saturday Morning Open Thread

Another freezing, bitter day in DC. January may have been the warmest on record, but we haven't had cold like this for years.

Condi made a "surprise" visit to Iraq today -- both NBC and CNN dutifully reported it that way. The real surprise will come when any member of the Bush Administration announces in advance that they are making a trip to Baghdad -- a country the Bush Administration decided to invade four years ago. My bet is that no member of the Bush team will ever be able to announce an upcoming Baghdad visit that isn't a super-secret, surprise, drop-in and get out, kind of trip. Will never happen before 2009.

Okay, it's early. It's the weekend. But, there's plenty to say. Have at it.
