More on judicial nominee Claude Allen

The Washington Post has this report, which cites an aide to one Democrat senator as saying that "the first indications were that Allen would be confirmed."

This week, Allen is co-hosting the 50th anniversary birthday party of his current government agency, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as reported here.

Unrelated to anything, the Sneaking Suspicions weblog rates news stories on their "Claude-worthiness," on the degree to which they match the irony of the character played by Claude Rains in Casablanca, as explained here. My favorite Claude is a fellow named Claude Greever, profiled here, who taught me to play clarinet almost 30 years ago. I suspect Greever lamented the fire at the Leblanc factory earlier this year.
