Morning rundown

Lots of great editorial cartoons at American Realpolitik this fine day

Jack Shafer of Slate really likes the News Analysis stylings of the New York Times' R.W. Apple - NOT!

John Hawkins at Right Wing News surveys the aftermath at the anti-war blogging sites.

And here's a little tidbit from Fox News that gave me a chuckle:

BAGHDAD, Iraq — There was a bit of unfinished business left over in Baghdad from the 1991 Gulf War. The U.S. Army has taken care of it

At the Al-Rashid Hotel, President Bush the elder — father of the current American chief executive who ordered this year's invasion of Iraq — is a doormat no more.

U.S. soldiers visited the battered Al-Rashid on Thursday night wielding hammers and chisels, and dug out the intricate tile mosaic of the former president that was used for years as a state-sponsored insult.

In its place, they laid a portrait of Saddam Hussein
.

That's worth a smile.
