Marlboro Man
So whatever happened to Lance Cpl. Blake Miller -- the U.S. Marine pictured as a kind of war-weary "Marlboro Man" in one of the most widely published iconic images of the Iraq war?
The 2004 photograph by Luis Sinco of the Los Angeles Times showing Miller, face dirty under a helmet, a cigarette dangling from his lips, went around the world and back again, hitting front pages everywhere. Now Miller, of Jonancy, Ky., is a civilian "and is having trouble adjusting to civilian life," CBS News reports.

What's Jeb Bush Been Up To?
Voicing concerns that expanded gambling will hurt Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush on Wednesday reluctantly signed into law a bill that gives the green light for Las Vegas-style slots in Broward County.
"I oppose the expansion of gambling because it is detrimental to Florida's economic development and hurts Florida's families," said Bush, a staunch opponent who had tried to defeat the constitutional amendment that opened the door for slots. "However, I have a constitutional duty ... to implement the voter-approved initiative."

Imagine Dennis Hastert In An Orange Jumpsuit
This week's guilty plea by lobbyist Jack Abramoff could renew scrutiny of a letter by House Speaker Dennis Hastert urging Interior Secretary Gale Norton to block an Indian casino opposed by rival tribes represented by Abramoff.
Hastert's letter was sent just one week after Abramoff hosted a fundraiser for the Illinois Republican's political action committee.

All Hat Lots of Cattle
The sight of Jack Abramoff striding out of federal court here yesterday, looking like a stocky gangster from a 40's movie in black fedora and trench coat, may seem like the strongest evidence so far of how graft and hubris have overwhelmed the capital.
It could have been a scene from "The Godfather," a favorite film of the felonious lobbyist. The Washington Post reported that he "did business with people linked to the underworld," bilked Indian tribes of tens of millions and then lavished a bundle in tribal gambling profits on greedy members of Congress.
