People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore.

I’ve finished my war book now. The next one I write is going to be fun.

This one is a failure, and had to be, since it was written by a pillar of salt. It begins like this:

Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.

It ends like this:

Poo-tee-weet?

Tour of Duty: Now three months longer.

Duke Lacrosse Players: After 13 months, all charges dropped.

Stem Cells: President Bush set to veto latest effort to ease federal restrictions.

Boob Off Boob Tube: Don Imus’s simulcast on MSNBC has been dropped.

Al Qaida, Ohio: Man from Columbus charged with aiding the enemy.

Sexy Presidential Fact of the Day: From The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris:

The young couple [Theodore and Alice Roosevelt] took their departure around four o’clock, and traveled to Springfield, where Theodore had reserved a suite of rooms at the old Massasoit House. Later that evening he noted tersely in his diary: “Our intense happiness is too sacred to be written about.”

(Unfortunately that’s about as sexy as Teddy Roosevelt gets. Thankfully, Bill Clinton is tomorrow.)

Iraq - and then there's the whining editorial by a certain Lyn Cheney who is continuing the Bush/Cheney tradition of avoiding combat duty in Iraq or anything like a war.

Can we leave NOW?
