The morning papers, October 18th

The FBI raided several family private homes in a probe into alleged influence peddling by Curt Weldon, R-PA, reports The Washington Post. Weldon claims it's a partisan investigation; this because, presumably, the FBI reports to gay Democrat George Bush.

The Daily Pennsylvanian has video of Weldon blaming every Democrat under the sun for the raid, while gingerly avoiding an answer as regards the truth of the allegations.


The title of a diary on DailyKos says it all: The Federal Government's Approaching Fiscal Meltdown.

Ahnuld and lamest of ducks Pataki join forces on global warming, reports the Albany Times-Union.

Snowed in in Buffalo? Deal with it, you crybabies, suggests this republican.

Uh-oh. North Korea considers sanctions leveled against it a 'declaration of war', reports the New York Times. Not a good choice of words.

Proving once again that no piece of gossip about Hillary is too mundane to not be flogged endlessly, Empire Zone reports breathlessly that the junior Senator is not, indeed, named after Sir Edmund Hillary, conqueror of Everest.

London, our sister city across the water, is agog with the arrival from Malawi of Madonna's adopted baby, reports The Guardian.

Chris Bowers continues his reportage from upstate New York, with clear signs that Tom Reynolds' support has collapsed.

And lastly, ThinkProgress enthusiastically reports the newest disapproval numbers for the boy in the White House bubble: 61%, versus 36% who approve nationally. Hating George Bush is the nation's favorite hobby, it seems.
