And Atrios is doing the Happy Dance tonight because Tom DeLay told Matthews that he's withdrawing from race.

Time reports that:

Rep. Tom DeLay, whose iron hold on the House Republicans melted as a lobbying corruption scandal engulfed the Capitol, told TIME that he will not seek reelection and will leave Congress within months. Taking defiant swipes at "the left" and the press, he said he feels "liberated" and vowed to pursue an aggressive speaking and organizing campaign aimed at promoting foster care, Republican candidates and a closer connection between religion and government.

Also, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the winners of the Koufax Awards.
