| Is the escalation working? |

| In today's media environment, anything positive that a liberal says about the escalation will become Bushist propaganda instantly and permanently. On account of this, anti-war liberals should not take the Lieberman path.But that's a different question from the original one: is the surge working?Since they're politicians, the Bushists did not set |

"I was at ground zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers. ... I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, |

| Cindy Sheehan has never been predictable; grief will do that. I'm pretty sure her quixotic run for Congress against Nancy Pelosi will go nowhere except in the media, and I don't want it to go even there.Still, I can understand Sheehan's frustration. We put our hopes and cares into the election of a Democratic Congress, and we haven't gotten what |

| The New York Times, in its infinite wisdom, headlines "In Surprise Move, Fed Cuts Key Rate". The Washington Post concurs with "Fed Makes Surprise Move to Calm Markets", though that headline will probably be gone soon.Who was surprised? Certainly not the financial markets. This rate cut clearly leaked yesterday in the middle of the afternoon.I |

| The American Prospect (subscribe to the dead tree edition - I do) offers two liberal perspectives on impeachment:Harold Meyerson takes the point of view of the Democratic Congressional "leadership".Robert Kuttner argues for sterner stuff along lines I've walked before.Both agree the Bushists deserve impeachment and removal for real and serious |

| The White House will not permit any oversight or even transparency. The only remedy is to begin impeachment or to deny budget authority.Note: This suit wants to apply FOIA to memos about the missing emails, not the missing emails themselves, which might contain a few justifiable secrets among the craven political calculations. |

| Mitt Romney was lying about his views when he ran for governor of Massachusetts in 2002. He was always anti-choice, but he knew he couldn't win in Massachusetts, so he said what he had to say to get elected. He even told honorific stories of his mother's pro-choice leanings even though all the evidence indicated she had held no such views. A |

How is that news?What the Democratic "leadership" seems unwilling to do:Take a firm stand, even one favored by the majority of the American peopleDistinguish Democrats from Republicans at high reliefHang Duhbya's quagmire around the neck of every Republican |

| Harry Reid may fantasize about a Democratic Senatorial sweep in 2008, leaving no cloture problems. Well, probably not - that would be a stretch even for a Washington Democrat. There are two levels of Democratic win in the Senate in 2008:Bugger off, Joe LiebermanNirvanaNirvana - 60 reliable votes - is about as likely as Megamillions (and I blew |

| When these photo op morons can announce a visit to Baghdad three months in advance, not some secure undisclosed location in Anbar, then I'll think Iraq is more stable.And, when the media notice that Duhbya is bullshitting them with his refrain that the commanders on the ground will decide, then I'll think there's hope for American media. |

| So, the military is making up numbers to justify the escalation. And the Washington Post is burying it on A16. I'm sure it'll be front page news when Gen. Petraeus reads his dictation from the White House. The only thing that's dropped dramatically is the credibility of the Bushists and their politically reliable officers. |

| The Bushists express their well-documented disdain for facts by threatening Arecibo now and the VLBA for 2011. If we were to come home from Iraq a few minutes earlier, we would have enough to cover both.Is it a hopeful sign that, for the first known time in my life, I agree with both Dana Rohrabacher and Pete Domenici? Nope, they're not funding |
