Meanwhile, Paris and Nikki Hilton aren’t getting much of grandad’s money.

Well, that’s the lead on Fox’s website, anyway, so it must be important.

I doubt we’ll ever know. I expect we will see the military impose martial law, and a country wide crackdown..

Shot in the neck means it was more than one involved.

This is not good...I don’t think Musharraf ordered the hit. Perhaps Sharif did, or Al-Q. Either way, if this is the case, Musharraf is going to have to reinstitute martial law, or things will go pear-shaped fast.

Wonder if Ann Curry feels like an idiot now. Probably not.

Why? Not that she shouldn't, but what did she say/do?......
