• The Bushes spent about $3.7 million dollars on real estate in a pricey Dallas neighborhood, and boy, are you going to seethe with jealousy when you see the house the Presidency can buy you. [Washington Post, The Smoking Gun]
• Italy is struggling with a rise in puppy smuggling due to a love of specific breeds and a declining economy. More than 70,000 puppies are smuggled into Italy every year, despite the fact that nearly a quarter of them die on the way and half die within a few months of arrival. There's a video. [BBC]
• Pastor Rick Warren says the Bible calls us to invade Iran. I don't think it says what he thinks it says, but that might be because I read it for my own edification and not to use it to make zillions of dollars or justify my existence. [Washington Independent]

But, today, scientists announced that the popular impotence drugs Viagra and Levitra seemingly help adriamycin cross the blood-brain barrier and attack brain tumors. If you were wondering what that has to do with conservative columnist Bob Novak, he was diagnosed today with a brain tumor. Even if it helps, I think I speak for much of womanity when I say that I don't think Bob Novak should be given ED drugs, like, ever. [Reuters, AP] More »
