This morning on MEET THE PRESS Tim Russert asked Paul Bremer a seemingly simple question about the June 30th handoff of power in Iraq; when we hand it off, who is taking it?

"That's a good question Tim," replied Bremer.

Yes, indeed it is. A question that might benefit from, you know, an answer. Since it's happening in less than 90 days.

Do you remember New Year's Eve this year? That was more than 90 days ago. So that's how much time we have to get Iraq sorted out.

"They say there might be civil war," notes my co-worker Randi, "well so what? We had a civil war!" Which is kind of weird, as though civil war is like encouraging a teenager to take a job flipping burgers; it's character building.

From this morning's Washington Post:

Bush canceled a fishing outing on his ranch Saturday with Roland Martin, host of the Outdoor Life Network program "Fishing With Roland Martin." Martin, who fished with Bush on Friday, told the Associated Press that Bush explained: "I've been busy, all these crises."

Steady leadership, that.

It's been a long time since I've been psyched about anything on Saturday Night Live but I thought that Janet Jackson, with a wig and phony gap in her teeth as Condoleeza Rice was fantastic. What an amazing, lucky piece of comic gold to drop into the show's lap. She gets to make a disarming boob joke, the administration looks evil, and, for a moment, all is good in my world.
