While I was putting on my socks this morning, I thought about Thanksgiving.  Not just the holiday – which, by the way, has nothing to do with Indians and Pilgrims and never did – but just the little things from day to day for which I’m thankful.  

At this moment, I’m thankful that, though I use my middle name and first initial, like I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby does, I don’t also have a stupid nickname that always has to be stuffed in the middle.  

Can you picture it?  J. Kyle “Spanky” Kimberlin?  Yep, I pretty sure if you did that, I’d avail myself of a large rock and beat you to death.  No fault of mine.  Though I’d have to drag to you Texas first, where “he needed killin”  is an affirmative defense to homicide.  

Apropos of which, looks like Scooter’s office – which means Dick “Dickhead” Cheney’s office – is getting the big roto-rooter service for the Plame leak.  So says the Washington Post.
