[homepageDAILY 100words] Why I'm resigning from being a NY Times columnist By Thomas J ...: The major premise of Bugliosi's case against Bush is that the former Texas governor, who unapologetically executed more death row inmates than any other governor in the country (and joked about killing one of them), intentionally lied and deceived the American public while he was president about the reasons for going to war in Iraq, which has caused the deaths of over 4,000 U.S. service men and women and over a 100,000 Iraqis.

[Underemployed NY Musicians' Collective] Bravo, America.: (Personally I remain skeptical that Obama will fix what I feel are America's core problems - attachment to an overly resource-intensive lifestyle coupled with foreign energy dependency, plus an insurmountable deficit -- and we've already spent our "New Deal" money blowing up Iraq. But would much rather have him running the show than McCain any day, since he's shown himself more willing to challenge Americans and confront what we're uncomfortable with.)

[The Washington Independent] The Washington Independent » Poll: Americans Split On Iraq War: Democratic strategists have sought to tie McCain to the failed Iraq policies of the Bush administration. If the violence in Iraq holds at levels the American people view as acceptable, we may well see whether it could be the possible that the war could turn into a net plus for McCain.

[Big Brass Blog] To the Members of Congress Concerning the Bailout Proposal: This bailout, just like the war in Iraq, will end up costing huge multiples of what you think right now it will, and that's because you have no idea what's going to come out of the woodwork once the program is underway. Just like in Iraq, where forces of mayhem long held at bay became everyday nightmares for American troops, bad investments, bad paper, and bad decisions long held in the background of financial statements will all of a sudden start billowing forth, and your $700 billion bailout will become a running nightmare of one round of extra funding after another, with a few of your colleagues finally demanding an immediate end to it while the rest of you know very well that it cannot end until it's all over and the United States is simply burned out.

[www.redstate.com: Latest blog entries] Democratic Victory: Is this a sustainable liberal majority?: We seemingly have forgotten the collective call for militaryaction against Iraq, including calls from those who now proudlydeclare their allegiance to the Democratic Party’s far left fringe.Such calls were made under the auspice that Iraq was the possessorof weapons of mass destruction, which could be used by their roguedictator or, more dangerously, sold to the highest biddingterrorist, including Al-Quaeda.
