Marc Ambinder on Obama's Fort Hood speech. "I guarantee: They'll be teaching this one in rhetoric classes."
Truer words. What is it with these blogger boiz?
And how's that decision on Af-Pak coming?

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

2. End the Wars
3. Tax the Rich
4. A Jobs Guarantee
Health care reform: DCBlogger.
1. The assumption that competing sides, especially political parties, are equally extreme, equally guilty, etc. 2. Treating a dubious position as arguably equivalent to a legitimate one. (Vast Left)

I don't know which is worse...
Obama's purported decision to send 40,000 more troops into our Afghanamire, or his constant assertions that he has not, in fact, made any decision whatsoever.
Never vote for people who hate you.

Isn't one of them required to
say that, about each of his speeches?
Or maybe there's some sort of overall quota. I just don't know about all these fauxgressive membership rules.

Well, WAS the speech any good?
I've ceased to care enough about Obama's speeches to actually listen to them. Maybe it really was well-written and well-delivered.

And we're so dedicated to the rule of law:
See, now, the problem for all those people held in Guantanamo is that they weren't gunmen. I mean is our commitment to justice so enduring that we'll give a taxi driver due process just as surely as we will see that he pays for his crimes?
I'm sorry, but this speech struck me as just unusually hollow. I need to meditate more on the fact that I'll always be found on the side of liberty and equality because that's who I am as a person.
