Is today a great day, or what?

The weather's great, the Astros are in the playoffs, and Tom DeLay does the perp walk.

Arrest warrant issued for DeLay

AUSTIN — Today a Texas court issued a warrant for former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to appear for booking, where he is likely to face the fingerprinting and photo mug shot he had hoped to avoid.

Bail was initially set at $10,000 as a routine step before his first court appearance on conspiracy and money laundering charges. Travis County court officials said DeLay was ordered to appear at the Fort Bend County jail for booking.

I, for one, will be checking the Smoking Gun regularly for my own personal copy of his mug shot for my scrapbook.
