Via Skippy, Conservative billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, Clinton foe and huge funder behind Whitewater and other Clinton investigations, is having major divorce woes — police were called to his estate when a major tussle developed over custody of the family dog. Details of the wife’s alleged assaults on the housekeeping staff are here.

And, get this: He has no pre-nup. He must be really distraught because he’s even talking to the press, something he rarely does. He says, “Wish me luck.”

Right. He also says, of wife and the dog incident, “They led her away in handcuffs.” But the news articles say his wife wasn’t arrested.

pauljoyce asks: “I’m a Mac fan who is intrigued by the possibilities of Apple’s Boot Camp software. Now that I have a chance to painlessly dip into the Windows world, what I’d like to ask you is, what Windows software amazes you? I want to build a list of unique, elegant, can’t-do-without apps, so all us new Boot-Camp babies can finally experience some of the great innovation happening over on the Windows platform. I roughed in a quick blogpage to collect the info, and to house any useful discussions. It’ll probably deteriorate into a flame war at some point, but hopefully I can get a few contributions to each category before then. Would those interested please chime in with their list of favorites?”

Jane and Think Progress say Newt Gingrich’s speech yesterday saying the war in Iraq was a mistake and that we should leave Iraq now is not to be trusted. Here’s Newt yesterday:

Newt Gingrich, the former Republican Speaker of the House, told students and faculty at the University of South Dakota Monday that the United States should pull out of Iraq and leave a small force there, just as it did post-war in Korea and Germany. “It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003,” Gingrich said during a question-and-answer session at the school. “We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it.”

I agree. Newt was a hawk on Iraq.

Another tactic Secretary Rumsfeld used to circumvent the established professional intelligence apparatus of the executive branch was his reliance on the Defense Policy Board..The DPB was chaired by Richard Perle, a hawk on Iraq and former member of the Reagan administration. In Perle’s judgement, the CIA’s judgments about Iraq “isn’t worth the paper it is written on.” The Board also contained other high visibility hawks on Iraq, such as James Woolsey and Newt Gingrich, as well as a range of other former defense officials not necessarily committed to war with Iraq.
