George F. Will / Washington Post:
Can This Nomination Be Justified?  —  Senators beginning what ought to be a protracted and exacting scrutiny of Harriet Miers should be guided by three rules.  First, it is not important that she be confirmed.  Second, it might be very important that she not be.

Washington Post:
Strong Grounding in the Church Could Be a Clue to Miers's Priorities  —  One evening in the 1980s, several years after Harriet Miers dedicated her life to Jesus Christ, she attended a lecture at her Dallas evangelical church with Nathan Hecht, a colleague at her law firm and her on-again, off-again boyfriend.
Washington Post:
A Pick That Blurs Party Lines and Stalls 'Rapid Response'  —  White House Works To Sell Miers to Skeptics on Right  —  While President Bush yesterday led a public campaign to shore up support for Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, his top White House aides and Republican National Committee …

Dr. Rusty Shackleford / The Jawa Report v3.0 Beta:
Images Show Busses Evacuating New Orleans, More Questions than Answers  —  Update: Paul from Wizbang and I essentially agree and the photos really tell the same story: Nagin is an idiot, he just thinks Nagin is a bigger idiot than me.  —  Something odd struck me about the photo posted by Paul at Wizbang this morning.

Amanda Marcotte / Pandagon:
PUT DOWN THAT TURKEY BASTER AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR SO I CAN SEE YOUR WEDDING RING  —  Indiana's legislature is considering a law mandating that a man better get laid if a baby is being made.  Seriously, that's pretty much how the bill is worded.

Sooner Bomber Wanted to Buy Ammonium Nitrate!  —  ** Evidence is mounting that Joel Henry Hinrichs III, the University of Oklahoma student who blew himself up 100 yards outside the Oklahoma-Kansas State Football Game on Saturday night, had bigger plans.  Joel tried to purchase ammonium nitrate at a feed store late last week.
Bill / PunditGuy:
One Year  —  PunditGuy is one year old today.  —  When I started this little hobby, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  I had no idea how much it would become a part of my life.  I had no idea how much fun it would be.  —  I had no idea that one year later, blogging would become a love of mine.
David Burge / iowahawk:
CONFIDENTIAL  —  JOB APPLICATION  —  Thank you for your interest in a career at the United States Supreme Court.  Please fill out the following application in BLACK INK for photocopying purposes (please, no pencils, felt tip markers, or blue ink).  When you have fully completed the form, please return to the on-duty supervisor.
Sir Humphrey's:
AP and Reuters photographer Bilal Hussein colludes with insurgents  —  This is both disgusting and absurd.  I was flicking through a Yahoo Photos thread called "US Military" when I came across six photos of the same small group of 'insurgents' posing for the photographer.
