...says Denny Hastert.
Wow. I mean come on CNN. Isn't there anything else to talk about?
If Mr. And Mrs. Smith from Brooklyn had been flying that plane we wouldn't be hearing anything about it at all. Read below the fold...

You know, I knew that Glenn didn't have any ethics or moral center, but this really takes the cake.
That is so beyond the pale I don't even know what to say. Anything to advance the Republican agenda, huh "Libertarian" Glenn? Read below the fold...

Since Hastert has now said he won't resign, it seems to offer a great opportunity for Democrats.
I can see the picture of Hastert on a TV ad with a caption like "There's apparently only one way to fire this guy. Read below the fold...

Here’s what happens when this irresponsible Congress railroads a profoundly important bill to serve the mindless politics of a midterm election: The Bush administration uses Republicans’ fear of losing their majority to push through ghastly ideas about antiterrorism that will make American troops less safe and do lasting damage to our 217-year-old nation of laws — while actually doing nothing to protect the nation from terrorists. Democrats betray their principles to avoid last-minute attack ads. Our democracy is the big loser.

As events would have it, though, our nation is led by men who have carefully avoided both war and literature. By men devoid of a sense of the nation's and their own moral fallibility. By men who have led us into a moral desert and aren't even looking for a way back home.

I assume you've all been following the latest damned foolishness that John Yoo has unleashed upon an unsuspecting American public, right?
John Yoo, the former administration official who wrote the "torture is okay" memos and other scary things like them AND is a Cal Berkeley law professor AND is an AEI scholar, actually said that the president's powers were curtailed by congress in the 1970s because, get this, there were "no serious national security threats" to the United States at the time.

I've been reading all of the stuff about ABC's hackumentary "Path to 9/11" with interest. This summer, I taught an upper-level course about history and film. In this class, the students watched certain movies outside of class and then we discussed them. In light of that experience, I think I should comment. Read below the fold...

As I mentioned in my earlier post, we've been told many, many times that they've captured the #2 lieutenant in al-Qaeda.
How many times, you ask?
39 times as of yesterday.
I knew someone had kept up with this.
How stupid are the people in our press corps to keep reporting the same transparent propaganda over and over and over again? Read below the fold...

Ah, we've captured the al-Qaeda number two in Iraq for about the bizillionth time!
Hurray!
How many number twos does al-Qaeda have anyway?
I'd love for someone to tell me how many times we've heard a story like this one!
A leadership crisis among the al-Qaeda folks in Iraq, huh?
Really?
How many folks have died in Iraq this week?
It seems to me they're doing just fine, unfortunately. Read below the fold...

Oh my goodness. Missouri Republicans are looking for an objective social scientist to prop up their arguments for their Voter ID law.
So, who do they bring in?
Why, that paragon of Social Scientific virtue, John Lott!

I didn't realize it but I was mentioned (in a vague fashion) in a news story about the Tolzmann case back in May:
At the time, the review seemed to draw little attention. UC apparently didn't know about it, and neither did HNN. "It just flew under the radar," said HNN editor Rick Shenkman. Read below the fold...
