Highlights From Hill Hotties 2008
The DCeiver (Free subscription) | 07/30/2008 | Other
Okay. Surely you know the drill by now. Every July, THE HILL puts out their annual Most Beautiful People On Capitol Hill list.

Ralston on Veitch
Kiwiblog (Free subscription) | 07/12/2008
There are around 20 stories and columns on Veitch today, and frankly it is getting overkill. I’m not even going to attempt to summarise them, except I do want to quote from Ralston a bit: A hosed-off One News reporter covering the story appeared in a “live cross” in the 6pm bulletin, denouncing Flannery for failing [...]
