The expression comes from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, as translated from the Persian by the English eccentric Edward FitzGerald. The FitzGerald translation also gave us “The moving finger writes and having writ, moves on . . .” and many other quotable lines. Anyway, at one time, journalists, particularly those who worked for newspapers, liked to treat “The Rubaiyat” as a kind of drinking song without music. It was very popular in saloons frequented by journalists, who insisted on being called newspapermen or women. It wasn't really until the...

Snow added that he is expected to begin a series of chemotherapy treatments starting next week Friday and will relax his workload, if necessary, during that time.

"That's what he's been telling people" inside the West Wing, says an official. Snow's been away fighting cancer and surprised Washington when he attended last Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Snow has said he feels pretty good, considering the treatment, though it's unclear how often he will handle questions in the White House briefing room.

The Sun-Times broke the story about Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record)'s relationship with Tony Rezko on Monday, but I think we may have already reached the point where Obama's reaction to the story is drawing more attention than the particulars of the story itself.
