Good news from South Dakota. As I’ve said before, I didn’t expect the abortion ban to suceed, and I think it’s less likely to succeed now that it’ll be on the ballot in November, for reasons I previously explained here. In reality, a clear minority would favor the radical ban (which would force women […]

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow has admitted that President Bush lied to the country about the status of (soon to be former) Treasury Secretary John Snow. ThinkProgress has the scoop. Liessssss.
Apparently the military does not expect to be able to quell the Iraqi insurgency this year.
The Sunni Arab heart of the Iraqi insurgency seems likely to hold its strength the rest of the year, and some of its leaders are now collaborating with al-Qaida terrorists, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
In a report assessing the situation in […]
The (British) Guardian has an interesting (if long) interview/column on Al Gore, and his global warming awareness campaign. An interesting excerpt:
He has a “great private life now,” says one colleague. He has homes in San Francisco and Nashville; his marriage to Tipper is considered one of the strongest in US politics. Their children, now grown […]
Apparently the fight isn’t over yet, even though Hastert seems to be somewhat placated. NYT:
An F.B.I. raid on a congressman’s office 10 days ago was heavily criticized today during hearings before the House Judiciary Committee, with members and witnesses saying it violated the separation of powers provided by the Constitution between the legislative and executive […]
Sending in the reserves.
The U.S. military said Monday it was deploying the main reserve fighting force for Iraq, a full 3,500-member armored brigade, as emergency reinforcements for the embattled western province of Anbar, where a surge of violence linked to the insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq has severely damaged efforts to turn Sunni Arab tribal […]
Yes, thank you CNN for reviving this utterly disgusting non-story. Really, too bad that she disappeared but I don’t know of anyone worth knowing who isn’t tired of this missing white woman story (does anybody think this would have gotten even a 9th as much press coverage as it does, if she was poor […]
I don’t know if you’ve heard about this already.
A major figure in the Election Day phone-jamming scandal that embarrassed and nearly bankrupted the New Hampshire GOP is out of prison and back in the political game.
Charles McGee, the former executive director of the state Republican Party, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and served seven months for […]
So the President has chosen somebody to replace Treasury Secretary John Snow. I always thought treasury was a weird word. I don’t know much about the new guy, Henry Paulson, who is currently the CEO of Goldman Sachs (soon to be former CEO, I guess). Apparently he doesn’t hate the environment. Or something. For business […]
As I’m sure you’re aware by now, two CBS employees; a cameraman and a soundman, as well as an Iraqi translator and an American soldier were killed in Iraq yesterday. As they were getting out of their armored vehicle, an IED exploded nearby, killing them instantly, and CBS reporter Kim Dozier was injured severely (though […]
Like many in this part of the blogosphere, I am crossing my fingers for Francine.
NYT on illegal immigration. The title of the article is “Rules Collide With Reality“.
“People ask: Why don’t they come legally? Why don’t they wait in line?” said Jeffrey S. Passel, a demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center, a research organization in Washington. “For most Mexicans, there is no line to get in.”
The United States offers […]
Associated Press has the three steps that Democrats need to win control of Congress this November. From the article:
THROW THE BUMS OUT: More than 70 percent of Americans tell pollsters that the nation is on the wrong track. Larger percentages think corruption is a major problem in Washington. Incumbents have been roughed up already this […]
Since when do mayors become Presidents? Absurd. The same that can be said for Bloomberg can also be said for Giuliani.
