BLUE RIBBON COMMISSION FLASHES IN THE PAN

There was a note or two in the news this week about how the 9-11 Commission was going to "monitor" progress on its recommendations, etc. Boys (that's you, Lee Hamilton and Tom Keane) and girls (I'm talking to you, Jamie Gorelick), the 9-11 Commission closed on August 20, 2004. Time to hang up the cleats and make a graceful exit before you find yourself looking into movies on the estrogen channels, photo shoots in skin mags, and devoted-readers-of-my award-winning-series-you-know-what else.
