Bush’s Midnight Raids
Suzanne, over at Redwaterlilly’s Ramblings, is documenting the atrocities. And it is nothing less that a full-blown assault on environmental quality and worker’s rights for rules he couldn’t get done during the light of day.

0 for 5 for Fox News
Fishbowl DC is keeping track of how many times Obama has been calling on Fox News in his press conferences. So far, it is 0 for 5 — calling on NO Fox reporters after 5 press conferences. EDIT: I didn’t read far enough to see that Fox did finally get a question yesterday. Which is […]

McCain comes from the school of politicking that goes after as many votes as possible by waving a flag and […]
McCarthy as the Father of Modern Conservatism
So posits Neal Gabler in this morning’s LA Times op-ed. But there is another rendition of the story of modern conservatism, one that doesn’t begin with Goldwater and doesn’t celebrate his libertarian orientation. It is a less heroic story, and one that may go a much longer way toward really explaining the Republican Party’s past […]
