Misplaced Patriot

Some enterprising reporter ought to ask Senator Frist the following question:

Are you suggesting that all of those judges who were not blocked by the Democrats in the Senate were not people of faith?

It seems to me that some people don't know the difference between "culture" and "cult."

Has there been a more perfect book title for the Bush era than Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking?

Somehow, I'm on every research phone list in the world. I've gotten 10 calls in the last week from people wanting to survey me.

This is pissing me off. Just got one at 8:45PM.

Well, this news explains how Carville and Matlin's marriage survived.

One of the great sins of the war on Iraq is the misuse of the National Guard. The National Guard is meant to be used only as a last resort, in the case of national emergency. The war in Iraq, whatever it is, was not an answer to any emergency. The current National Guard members are getting screwed with long deployments interrupting their lives, making it almost impossible for the Guard to woo future members.

I still occasionally see the "One weekend a month, two weeks a year" ads, which seem like a cruel joke right now.

O'Neill has said that Kerry has told the Christmas/Cambodia story over 50 times.

He has also said that swift boats only got within 50 miles of Cambodia.

The first claim is unsubstantiated, the second claim is blatantly false. I'm suspecting that any time O'Neill uses the number 50, he has pulled the number out his ass.

Scott McClellan and Bush have refused to condemn SBVFT's ads, instead preferring to condemn the 527 ads in general. Why hasn't the press then asked about the book, published by Regnery? It is a for-profit effort, with the same smears as the ad, but without the 527 status. It's not covered under Bush's cowardly blanket condemnation of the ads, nor are the TV appearances by the members of SBVFT.

Kerry should have started with, "What better place than a fake news show to respond to fake news."
