- This partial score: Dead Marines 10, Al Qaeda 1.
(Bushco and its minions sure have a knack for pushing bad news off the front pages in a hurry, don't they? - hat tip #1 to Atrios).
- The blogger Digby reports that Judge Alito has an interesting notion of how police should use deadly force (fortunately, his sadistic interpretation was overruled when the case got to the Supreme Court - hat tip #2 to Atrios).
- I haven't said much about the legal troubles of congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham in CA, who was convicted this week and resigned from the House, mainly because the story has been covered so well by other bloggers. Well, Itsez has more on Cunningham, particularly when he was much younger and remembered as a decorated war hero, and I doubt seriously that you will find information included in his post anywhere else. We know what Cunningham is now, but not too many of us remember what he used to be, and in this case, I think that's important.
Update 12/6: Brendan at Brandoland has a great post today on Cunningham's nonsense (call girls, luxury suites, Cunningham applying some "grease" to the tune of about $100 grand to get some starting-out contractor on a "preferred provider's" list for Dick Cheney - amazing that these guys continue to think that they can get away with this stuff).
Froma Harrop of the Providence (R.I.) Journal weighs in also (some of her stuff is awful from time to time, but she's nailed a few columns pretty well too, including this one).
