Technical troubles
Due to a bizarre computer problem, I won’t be able to post today. I’m hoping things will be back to normal on Monday.

As promised, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore held a press conference today to announce his decision on his Ten Commandments monument. Unfortunately, he said he’s keeping his granite religious display right where it is, despite two decisions from the federal courts. A federal district court had given Moore an Aug. 20 deadline to […]
No, that headline is not a misprint. Bush misled the world to lead us to a war in Iraq and put thousands of troops in harm’s way. Since the invasion began, hundreds have been killed and thousands have been injured. Bush may have declared the end of “major military operations” in May, but a U.S. […]
WorldNetDaily, a conservative online news service, ran an interesting scoop this week, which I found via Josh Marshall. We know that the Bush administration, in building its case against Iraq before the war, mistakenly argued that Saddam Hussein had reconstituted nuclear weapons.

In politics, there are certain racial, ethnic, and religious groups who can be expected to generally support one political party or the other. On one side, Jewish and African-American voters are reliable supporters of Democrats, and on the other, fundamentalist Christians and Cuban-American voters tend to back Republicans.

It may be entirely too early to start picking cabinet secretaries for a Democratic presidential administration — we’re a long way from choosing a nominee and Bush is still leading in the polls. But Miami Herald columnist Marianne Means offered a great suggestion today (which I received from Carpetbagger regular I fondly call Madre). Al […]
Third-rate television evangelists can be found nearly everywhere, unfortunately. Few, however, are sought out by presidential administrations for advice on foreign policy. Jack Van Impe is claiming to be just such an evangelist. Truth be told, I was completely unfamiliar with Van Impe, so I turned to trusted Carpetbagger friend Morbo, who knows more about […]
This, which I found via TBogg, brought a smile to my face. Go take a look.
I continue to marvel at the mess down in the Texas Legislature. I know all the attention is on the several hundred people running for governor of California, but for my money, the Texas Tangle is really the wacky political story of the year. First, as you may recall, the House Dems fled to Oklahoma […]
It looks like earlier reports that Ret. Gen. Wesley Clark wants his supporters to “crank up” their efforts were accurate — because that’s exactly what they’re doing. Several recent news articles have kicked speculation into high gear. The Boston Globe ran a detailed account yesterday of signs indicating an imminent Clark announcement. This comes just […]
