Nope. It's about the whole Texas Lottery Commission thing again.

The articles are now live on Opinion Journal, my guess is that this is about today's Fund column, which contains this

The New York Sun has reported that Lawrence Littwin, a former executive director of the Lottery Commission, is eager to testify should the Senate subpoena him. Mr. Littwin claims that in 1997 Ms. Miers fired him after five months on the job because she was protecting GTECH, the controversial Rhode Island firm managing the lottery. GTECH had been mired in controversy for years, and in 1996 David Smith, its national sales director, was convicted in New Jersey in a kickback scheme involving a lobbyist.

There is also an editorial blasting Bush over the nomination. This isn't a good week.
