press snubs Bush Jr; Kathy to Portland!; Seattle tunnel; Ptld Auditor Cash Give-Away

I'm toying with the idea of posting news items I find interesting. Not sure I'll stick with it though.

"On a more amusing note (or maybe just sad), Milbank also references a bulletin to the White House press corps issued prior to the press conference. The memo set a tone importance and fanfare for the event.

Woo-hoo!:

"Comedienne Kathy Griffin has added two more shows in Portland, where the quirky outspoken comic will be taping her Bravo show special this March.

"On March 4, the 48-year-old actress will be at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall at 6:30 p.m. and again, at 9 p.m. Griffin will also tape her show, "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List," at the shows." AllHeadlineNews.com
