Saddam Had WMD's according to the Investor's Business Daily. I have no doubt there's an avalanche of information that will come out. Much of this has simply never been translated. We don't have enough translators to cover the material. Some will claim this was all a Rovian plot to discredit their critics. I don't think so. I wish he were that brilliant, but he isn't.

If this were #1 we'd have called in a medivac at the first sign of vomiting in a 1 year old. He finally calmed down and we got him off to sleep. We watched a bit of The Wire and retired (very) late. About 10 minutes later #2 wakes up crying complaining of a stomach ache. I ask if he has to go to the bathroom and he says no, it's not that. His stomach really hurts. OK, into my bed and I'll get the heating pad for a bit. We get him settled and he calms down. Knowing that he tends towards the dramatic, I s...
