    Fred Head
    Apparently, the Houston Chronicle has now picked up the story of Fred Head and the romance novel. The "pornography" charge is still on his website. Good going, Fred.

    Regarding Adam's (at the time baseless) bashing of Lamont, seems like the Washington Post was listening to our podcast and rushed this story to print the next day:

    Lamont's primary victory drew national attention, but momentum in the Senate race began to change that night...

    There followed a series of missteps. Lamont, who had run a skillful, grass-roots primary campaign, left for vacation and his campaign immediately began to flounder.

    "We kind of went to sleep," said Tom D'Amore, a senior Lamont adviser. "We were led to understand, as naive as it sounds, that there were forces at work" trying to persuade Lieberman to give up his independent candidacy for the good of the Democratic Party. "They said, 'Don't come out and go too hard on Joe. Give us an opportunity.' " That never happened.

    Or to translate:  "John Kerry said taking a vacation just when you've got momentum by winning the primaries is a winning strategy.  Why don't you try windsurfing et al."

    Prediction success
    Turns out Adam may have finally gotten a prediction right.  The Washington Post reports today that

    No sooner did Congress authorize construction of a 700-mile fence on the U.S.-Mexico border last week than lawmakers rushed to approve separate legislation that ensures it will never be built, at least not as advertised, according to Republican lawmakers and immigration experts.
