Among politiblogs, Ana Marie Cox, above, has long?in cyberterms anyway???reigned as queen. Her bawdy take on Washington made WONKETTE a must read.

Her successors: Alex Pareene, a sometime guest editor at GAWKER, and former Assistant U.S. Attorney David Lat, who had secretly written the blawg UNDERNEATH THEIR ROBES in the guise of a lusty, law-loving female. Lat quit his government job last month and trumpeted his new gig by blogging, "You can't keep a good...

When the "family hour," the 60 minutes from 8 to 9 o'clock, was instituted in 1975, banishing blood and gore to later hours, ABC was ready with its comedies. Simple enough...
...allies in the Congress. It should be sufficiently obvious to history that Nixon was not driven from office but resigned because he was guilty of, at least, obstruction of justice, and his cause was hopeless. Some diehards, of course, will always believe that the offense was not really serious anyway???and other Presidents have behaved badly...
