There's been quite a hubbub over the last few days concerning the six retired generals critizing rummy, and calling for his resignation.Factually, the generals are surely in the right. Rumsfeld IS an incompentent leader, allowing fantasia-style ideology free reign over actual facts. And the military, as well as the country, is the worse for it. I feel for the generals under his command - because

Um, we don't have any money, guys.In fact, we're about $9 trillion away from having any money. How much money is that you ask? It's SOOOOOO much money that the people in charge of, um, spending it DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH THAT IS.It would be nice if that were the end of that topic.

As noted, about 1,500 troops were involved, 700 American and 800 Iraqi. But get this: in the area they’re scouring there are only about 1,500 residents. According to my colleague and other reporters who were there, not a single shot has been fired.If true, and this operation is simply being staged, then wow.

"The Senate Intelligence Committee is partisan. Everyone says so. They blame each other. It's too bad."That's really all we learn from Mr. Shane. It's too bad he wasn't curious about the actual cause of the partisan nature of the current committee.

Been fiddling with the stylesheet, with the help of a friend (thx!)... I'm not a big fan of narrow-column reading - too much time spent by the eye readjusting to a new row. So we made the main column a bit wider. Now that I'm in changing-shit-around mode, there'll probably made a few more changes - though nothing quite as noticeable as the width.Consider this an "under construction" sign. :)

Apparently to republicans, "supporting the troops" now includes the Commander In Chief arranging for them to be murdered.President Bush said: "The US was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colours. If Saddam fired on them, he would be in breach."Let there never be a question about what "support the troops" means to republicans ever again.

Now that we see what George VII (the American King) is like, consider George III's remark upon losing the American Revolution:Knavery seems to be so much the striking feature of its [America's] inhabitants that it may not in the end be an evil that they will become aliens to the kingdom.Way to accept the loss of the colonies with something like grace, and looking on the bright side.

This seems perfectly obvious, but possibly not to the shitting-their-pants-scared Democrats we have running our damn party...We're all set to boot the republicans out of Congressional power - even the evil that is their own base has trouble living with the criminality that is endemic to their party.

... those who know binary, and those who dont...(That's my 2nd favorite math-y joke in existence.)Back to serious matters: There are two kinds of governors in this country. Here's one type:"[My state is] sitting on more energy than they have in the Middle East," [the governor] told Reuters in an interview this week."I am leading this country in this desire and demand to convert coal into gasoline

Never forget: republicans hate you. They will trample your very grave if they can.Good luck.UPDATE: When they're done trampling your graves, they'll turn to killing your mother.UPDATE2: Aack - they've pulled the call to assasinate down - those wily wabbits...

If, just if, Rove is found beyond all doubt to have blown the cover of a US spy, would you still support him? Why? What happened to "support the troops"? Does it only apply to *republican* troops?Finally, to my republican brethren: why do you hate America so much?

I'm sure everyone's heard by now. So the fight is on, and there'll obviously (and justifiably) be WWIII in the US over this.I only have one question: Everybody knows that the right has been actively preparing for precisely this day since gw was installed 6 years ago. Has our side done anything? Anything?That's a question, I suppose, that will be abundantly answered in the fullness of time.

From Zogby Polling:In a sign of the continuing partisan division of the nation, more than two-in-five (42%) voters say that, if it is found that President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should hold him accountable through impeachment. While half (50%) of respondents do not hold this view, supporters of impeachment outweigh opponents in some

Someone said:... the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.Does that remind you of anything?Here's the source.

So the FDA has been literally begged for over a year now to, um, test cows and enact rules aimed at preventing mad cow disease. For example, 8 months ago:“FDA must immediately close loopholes in its rules on animal feed that could allow the disease to spread,” said Michael Hansen, Ph.D., a research biologist at CU.Predictably, republicans, and cattle ranchers, didn't care for the idea of, um,

LOL - a friend of mine mentioned this, I didn't believe him (of course) - turns out he was completely correct:In 1893 , the Supreme Court ruled that the tomato must be considered a vegetable, even though, botanically, it is a fruit. Because vegetables and fruits were subject to different import duties, it was necessary to define it as one or the other. So, tomatoes were declared to be a vegetable

gdub makes shit up, feeds it to the republicans, the press, and the country. When rational, well-meaning people point out that it's a complete crock, gdub changes explanations. Rinse, repeat. That candid analysis, although widely shared by economists, distressed some Republicans. "Oh, my God," one GOP political strategist said when he learned of the shift in rhetoric.

A study by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), and McKinsey consultants estimated "medical tourism" could be worth 100bn rupees (£1.21bn) by 2012. Last year some 150,000 foreigners visited India for treatment, with the number rising by 15% a year, says Zakariah Ahmed, an analyst who helped compile the report, With a large pool of highly trained doctors and low treatment prices,

That is to say, if Lawrence Summers had any balls, he'd have the transcript of what he said made publicly available. Given the backlash against him, and the (more recent) backlash against the backlash, anyone who was truly interested in scientific fairness, and having the best conclusions possible reached, would provide researchers with all the data available to them, so that they might come to

Lord knows I love Krugman, but I've been noticing that for as strong as he is on *description*, he is surprisingly weak on *prescription*. He has of course been very strong on calling gdub a liar about the nonexistent Social Security crisis lately. But in his most recent commentary, he "misses" an excellent potetial way for Democrats to deal with the "issue": "Everyone has noticed the use, once

That is, actually, Boxer v Rice, of course.
