- The gang of misfits that supposedly plotted to blow up the Sear’s Tower (right when Bush needed a big terror scare to distract us) were all either acquitted or effectively acquitted through mistrial. Who saw that coming? And here’s a more damning look at the “7 Boobs” and the administration tendency to, how shall we say, exaggerate such claims.
- An analysis of how Bush keeps getting his way, by refusing to negotiate with anyone. And “there may be a cost”? MAY?
- Stripped energy bill passes the Senate, Democrats “capitulate” to Republicans. Tax handouts for polluters to continue unabated. Yay, Republicans!
- Senate Judiciary Committee holds Rove and Bolten in contempt of Congress. It’s buried on page 36 of the NYTimes and probably won’t amount to anything anyway. Yeesh.
- The Frontrunners series continues at WaPo taking on Barack Obama today.
- The fall of Roger Clemens.
- 199 representatives (guess which party) and one executive just love them some waterboarding and are willing to defend it against the civil barbarian hordes.
- The New Jersey General Assembly passed legislation to abolish the death penalty. The Senate’s already approved it, and Governor Corzine has promised to sign it. Reason prevails.
- Huckabee will set the womens’ rights movement back years. But that could easily be said of practically any Republican.
- Bush is apparently “troubled” by the use of steroids in baseball. Of course the article doesn’t say that he was an owner during the explosion of steroid use in baseball. He was the owner of Sammy Sosa. Glass house meet stone.
- The crazy douchebag movement (also known as the Minutemen) experiences dissension in its ranks over its Fearless Leader Gilchrist’s endorsement of Huckabee.
