LOTS MORE CLIMATEGATE COVERAGE at Andrew Bolt’s place.

SHOCKINGLY, ROBERT GIBBS’ PERSONAL CHARM is beginning to lose its luster.

AT AMAZON, it’s the Friday Sale.

MEGAN MCARDLE: Cautiously optimistic on today’s employment data. Well, so was I until I discovered that they were compiled by the University of East Anglia . . .

On a more serious note, the latest chart of promises vs. results.

A THOROUGHLY MODERN moral dilemma.

IF YOU ATTEND THAT protest against the KSM trial in Foley Square tomorrow, send me a report and pics.

GATEWAY PUNDIT under cyber-attack.

UPDATE: Betsy Gorisch writes: “Soon it’ll be formalized, and from the government.”

To paraphrase Monsieur Rick, there are certain sections of the blogosphere that I do not recommend you invade.

PICS AND VIDEO from that Orange County Pelosi protest.

OKAY, FIRST CLOSING THE OZONE HOLE WARMED THE ANTARCTIC, NOW THIS: Obesity May Wipe Out Benefit of Anti-Smoking Effort, Study Says.

ROLL CALL: Breaking News: Baucus Nominated Girlfriend for U.S. Attorney. “Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus’ office confirmed late Friday night that the Montana Democrat was carrying on an extramarital affair with his state office director, Melodee Hanes, when he nominated her to be U.S. attorney in Montana. According to a source familiar with their relationship, Hanes and Baucus began their relationship in the summer of 2008 – nearly a year before Baucus and his wife, Wanda, formally separated in April. The Senator has since divorced his wife.” At least the former Mrs. Baucus didn’t attack him with a golf club.

UPDATE: Reader Clifford Grout writes: “Maybe she should hit him with a draft of his health care bill. Bet that would hurt.” It’s heavier than a golf club, for sure.

KNIFEBLOGGING: Pugs Of War notes: “Just a note for the day – Amazon is offering a Shun Ken Onion 3-Piece knife set which is nominally a $595 set for $200 today. These are truly awesome knives and though I can’t justify the purchase of any more kitchen cutlery, my cooking eye is twitching as I look at these beauties.” They’re kinda pricey to me, too, but lots of people like ’em.

Plus, noble uses for buttermilk.

UPDATE: Reader Chuck Herrick reports that they’ve gone up. He’s right! Stupid dynamic pricing. . . .

SAY YES TO THE DRESS: If that show were aimed at men, there would be more wedding dresses like this.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Obama Changes Copenhagen Plans At Last Minute. “Obama appears to be betting that his presence can – as he has expressed hope for several times in the past – push the negotiations ‘over the top’ toward an agreement.”

PHOTOGRAPHER ARRESTED, SUES FOR $3 MILLION. “While driving on Paseo De Oro Road in Tamuning Oct. 4, Adkins came across a truck crash, and stopped to take photos with his cell phone, according to the complaint. He was stopped by a police officer, who allegedly told Adkins he couldn’t take pictures of the crash and demanded Adkins’ cell phone.

HIDING THE DECLINE management.

GOING ON “Washington detox.” Me, I moved to Tennessee. But my case wasn’t nearly as severe . . . .
