That's what we need. Someone with cross-over appeal who isn't afraid to bash Bush. My only concern is he doesn't bash enough. But so far he's the bravest of the bunch.

By the way, Spankling, I want to thank you for keeping this thread up-to-date so consistently. I don't comment much on what you put here, but I always look forward to your updates.

As for Dean, I think that political bravery (that is, his willingness to take a potentially unpopular stance, simply because he feels it's right is the secret of his appeal). And that does for items that would be unpopular with both the right and the left.

His position on gun control, in particular, makes my wife uncomfortable. But I read it and thought, "That's a novel, reasonable approach." Which leads one to believe that he came to this conclusion because it makes sense, not because it tested will with focus groups.

Or he could have us all fooled. But right now, he seems to be the best of the bunch, if only because he is the most willing to say in very direct language what is wrong with Bush's policies.

"I think all foreigners should stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq," says U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz.

So he's from Iraq now?

I think this is why they don't let these people speak off the cuff too often. He must've realised the stupidity of what he'd said, which is why he added the disclaimer.

From an AP article following up on the events in Iraq:

Do they really think that will work?

[Click to view comic: 'Is Chuck Jones now in command?']

Hmmm... maybe.

Or maybe they're shooting for the For Better or For Worse angle in which someone will accidentally take the frozen corpsicles and cook them, thinking they're a couple of steaks.

Excellent! Now wealthy shadowy corporations can get even richer by arranging assassinations! Or regime change! Hang on, didn't we just do that recently?!

Please replace the handset, and try again.

Yes, I sent Howard Dean money this weekend.

Sent him some money last month, too. Not much, but all it takes is a lot of people giving a little. Take that, Bush!

John Kerry's voters ask their candidate to act like Howard Dean.

War crimes

Speaking of war crimes, none other than Colin Powell states in his memoirs that he was prepared to bomb dams on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, catastrophically flooding Baghdad, if it proved "necessary."

But the big news today is that bizarre DARPA thing with the futures market, basically a betting pool on terrorist acts. Win big bucks if Arafat catches a bullet! Retire wealthy if a bunch of Armenians bomb the Sears Tower! The Washpost said our Congressthings greeted the program with "mockery and revulsion," two words you seldom hear in polite news stories.

And who's behind it? Why it's convicted Iran-Contra criminal and Reagan security adviser Admiral John Poindexter.

Not even the Pentagon can back away from this hideous thing fast enough.

Here's a better idea.

US department of energy panel disbanded by Bush

Executive Order 13303 WHAT THE FUCK! Here comes the next DARPA.

Mysterious toxin kills 2 US soldiers, sickens 19
A few outlets report that Neusche's unit was working near Baghdad Int'l Airport when the illness struck. This has prompted some to question whether it might have been a hypothetical cargo shipment from the United States which killed these soldiers. So perhaps we will "discover" WMDs real soon now.

This builds on an article I read during the Clinton years that sited a study that fear makes republicans. (I always thought it was drinking the kool-aid that did that.)

Does anyone still think Bush is creating fear in the world by accident?

Another psychoanalysis of the Bush mystique was recently performed in the pages of The Nation. It's argued that Bush employs the tactics of the abuser.
