Small bit from the Hotline summarizing it: Wall Street Journal’s Harwood writes Obama “flavors orthodox” Dem “liberalism with support for welfare reform, charter schools and an overhauled death penalty.” But “his message isn’t milquetoast. He embraced Howard Dean’s antiwar themes, in contrast to the cautious support” that John Kerry provided the WH on Iraq and […]

Josh Marshall says it all. Reading the lede of this piece from Reuters, I had to wonder whether I might actually be reading a spoof from The Onion … An emotional former President George H.W. Bush on Tuesday defended his son’s Iraq war and lashed out at White House critics. It is “deeply offensive and […]

Just to let you know, the blog roll is in flux as I finish the expanded blogroll which won’t be on the front page in the interest of a clean look and quick download time. How do you make the front page? My whim. Really it is a combination of who I think updates regularly […]

I have and continue to spend a fair amount of my time finding effective ways of demonstrating data visually. Over at Crooked Timber there is a post that tracks the President’s Approval ratings and it is quite dramatic. Perhaps unrepresentative given the war spike after 9/11 if one wants to quibble, but it certainly passes […]

Moon declares himself the Messiah, Washington Times notes that he said, “work harder than anyone else until the day … guns in the Middle East fall silent and give way to fireworks of peace and joy.” The five great saints and many other leaders in the spirit world, including even Communist leaders such as Marx […]

Lauzen defends himself on the breastfeeding bill for which he was the sole dissenter. Other than the persecution complex at the end, not a bad defense of his choice. It isn’t like his voted mattered that much anyway. I promise I will not defend Lauzen twice in a row again. Actually Lauzen pretty much takes […]

AIDS is a plot of those advocating the depopulation agenda. No, really…. A very intriguing article entitled, “AIDS and The History of Depopulation Policies” by Rolf A. F. Witzsche said: “AIDS emerged in full force, by which it was regarded as a new disease, in the 1980/81 time-frame.” Although early traces were found as far […]

When Bill Bradley visited here in 2000, he asked the crowd in Joe Edward’s Blueberry Hill what was their dream. My answer is intertwined with the man who set-up that event for Bill Bradley, Jeff Smith. My dream is an America that includes all Americans whatever their race, their gender or their sexual orientation. My […]

Sneed reports on where Karen Hughes got her book title–from being 10 minutes out of Normal on a train. Frankly, I like my bit on Normal in my college yearbook. I end here today, in the place where I began. A place called Normal. The younger ones may not get the reference.

I agree with the Trib—legal adults should be able to drink beer. And actually 18 year olds could buy long guns in the State of Illinois before this bill. They couldn’t get the FOID card without parental permission. This is a very small change and really of no substance. While I’m for gun control including […]

I was going to comment on the bill to give Bush access to the Illinois ballot, but Jeff Trigg seems to be on top of it quite well. You know, if you are going to exploit 9-11 and push your convention back–don’t come asking for favors about ballot access unless you are going to reform […]
