Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General?

Yup. Looks like CNN's own health correspondent is being considered for the position. Watch the conspiracy theories kick into high gear over this one (never mind how highly qualified the man is, the CNN connection is bound to prompt conniption fits amongst some of the population).

Sibley & the Supremes

A brief update on Montgomery Blair Sibley, the "colorful" attorney who partnered with Larry Sinclair for most of last year (including the NPC spectacle), and who worked with the late Deborah Palfrey.

You might recall that last spring the DC Bar suspended Mr. Sibley for a three year period; Mr. Sibley then applied to the Supreme Court "for stay pending the filing and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari" in May. The Supremes decided against him on December 9^th. Sibley has refiled, and the Supreme Court will conference on the matter on January 16.
