Bush at 49% in NBC poll.
(lowest in that particular poll, of course. He's been lower in Zogby, but the methodology is quite different)

Torture Lou!
Damn Blogger was down and I couldn't link it, but Lou read these happy results on the air.
Howie's a Whoring
On CNN defending the Arnis, saying all he has to do is exceed low expectations.
The Republicans sure have mastered a fascinating campaign strategy.
Oh, and Howie? BUSTAMANTE IS THE FRONTRUNNER.
grr

Total Recall 2
Joe Conason says if the Arnis gets in, Total Recall 2 will commence immediately.
That's a cause I can get behind.
And, the Horse recommends that all lifelong Republicans (that means you) contact Tom McClintock and encourage him to stay in the race.

Bad Reviews
Fred Kaplan of Slate lays into the speech, as does the Strib.
It wasn't a speech for the UN, it was a speech for the domestic audience. It didn't spell out a plan. It didn't offer any suggestion of what Bush might want from the UN. It seemed oddly concerned with the illegal sex trade (scroll down), but given the Bush administration's consistent blocking of funding for women's health I don't know what the hell that's about.

Hillary is Not Running
There's nothing which demonstrates how useless and obsessed are media are more than the fixation on the prospect the Hillary Clinton will run for president. Now, I'm sure one could construct some scenario under which that wouldn't be true - you know, all 10 candidates killed in a plane crash, or something. But, hey, morons, get over it!
It would be fine if it were just the "right wing media," but it's the so-called mainstream media as well.
All together now.... HACKS

The Accused Have Rights
So, I'm listening to NPR this morning and and they were talking about the two guys who have been accused of various things at GITMO, though it isn't entirely clear what they were supposed done. But, in any case, the story had completely dropped the news convention of using "alleged" when talking about their potential crimes.
Here's a story...
UPDATE: Some people have said that the word 'alleged' was used multiple times and I just must have missed it. Quite possible.

GOP to Push Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
Which, of course, means pushing tax cuts tax cuts tax cuts. Apparently *these* tax cuts could create 4,000,000 jobs. Wow!

Vorlons or Shadows?
Bush Today:
Where's Captain Sheridan when you need him.
- Events during the past two years have set before us the clearest of divides: between those who seek order, and those who spread chaos.... Between these alternatives there is no neutral ground.
Where's Captain Sheridan when you need him.
Calm Down Drudge
I mean, we've all seen Arnold's weenie. Though, the word Mapplethorpe should send a few more voters over to McClintock.
Leaked EPA Memo
Quark Soup has a copy of the leaked EPA memo regarding changes to the climate change section of an environmental survey.
Eschaton Assignment Desk
Some of our domestic journalists might want to obtain a copy of John Pilger's documentary "Breaking the Silence."

Hi
I am from England and I saw Pilger's show last night. He really got up the nose of the neo cons.
He interviewed a guy called Crystol (is that his name?) Anyway, Pilger claimed that much of the world was getting very worried about Bush's threat to start war against anyone he likes. This Crystol guy got very upset. His face went bright pink and he started saying Is France, Germany scared of the USA I don't think so.
Anyway, Pilger kept to his guns, and said that since the end of the second world war The USA had invaded militarily or through covert operations in 72 countries. Boy, you should have seen Crysol's face it was a picture. He said, "that is riddiculous," But Pilger said it's true!
Best bit was that the names of the countries started appearing on the screen apphabetically. Very good stuff!

The difference between William Safire and the average crazy old coot to be found in any New York City diner explaining to anyone who listens that the aliens have taken over is that Safire gets paid for his ramblings and has a better tailor. Not much difference at all.
