Prediction Update

In this post, I predicted a few things. Here's an update to a couple of them:

1. Jim Spencer spends another column on the Denver 3. In fairness he did write about the Denver Filter Queen going out of business, but 3 of his last 4 columns have been about the 2 subjects I predicted.

2. Tom DeLay continues to be the focus of attacks, but, as predicted, he's going to take a few people down with him. This morning, it's 2 DEMOCRAT congressmen who get caught up in the lobbyist-paid trip trap. Hugh's post today goes into this subject with a wise suggestion:

"Perhaps some old media outlet with staff could just publish a list of every sitting congressman, all the trips they have taken over the past ten years and their funding source, so we could get an idea of what Congressional travel practices look like. But of course that would provide context and drain the DeLay hunt of its drama, so don't look for such serious reporting anytime soon."
