SULLY TAUNTS TOO: Andrew Sullivan has what he calls the Von Hoffman award, which he bestows for "awful wartime predictions." The award was created in honor (or dishonor) of Nicholas von Hoffman, the journalist who predicted the U.S. would face certain disaster in Afghanistan.

Today Sullivan unleashes seven of these awards upon those whose dire predictions for Iraq evaporated yesterday. I'm loathe to nyah-nyah-nyah just yet, but I do enjoy Andrew's cheek. These Brits are real smartypants, eh? I just hope yesterday wasn't a mirage. I'm wearing a party hat, but I'm not quite ready to blow the horn.
