Here is the image that CNN used for its article on allegations of sexual harassment levied against soon-to-be-former Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY):

Of course, this study doesn't come as a surprise to any of the dirty hippies (myself included) who have been pointing out for what almost seems like an eternity that thousands of Americans die every year because they can't afford health insurance, a number which will certainly increased if, say, Congress fails to pass meaningful healthcare reform.

I just saw this web ad for the CIA (yes, the CIA is apparently running ads now), and is it just me or are they using the Chipotle font in that second part?

I am participating in the Searching for John McCain project, which is intended to show the truth about John McCain by using his own words and statements against him. The idea, as Chris Bowers explains, is to consistently link "John McCain" to one of nine news articles revealing his position on everything from minimum wage increases (opposed) to reproductive choice (opposed) to ending the Iraq War (strongly opposes).

I found that adding a new link each time I wrote John McCain was quickly becoming tedious, so I created this WordPress plugin which will automatically add a link to one of the nine news articles whenever you mention John McCain in your blog posts. You can see it working on my blog.

There's a lot of chatter in the blogosphere about Hillary supporters threatening to flee the Democratic Party in droves if Clinton is not declared the nominee at the convention. The argument, as I understand it, is that these supporters feel slighted by Obama, his campaigns, or his supporters, and, as a result, would refuse to support him as the nominee. If you're one of these people, then this is for you. Here's one simple reason why you should support Barack Obama if he is the nominee:

Hillary Clinton will support Barack Obama if he is the nominee.

I wrote a diary yesterday to note that Washington University will be honoring Phyllis Schlafly with an honorary doctorate at this year's commencement ceremony. (I also included a number of quotes demonstrating why she doesn't deserve the honor, not that I think y'all don't already know.)

The official response from Chancellor Mark Wrighton, via email, is after the jump--yes, they have already written their official defense.

At this year's commencement ceremony, my school will be honoring Phyllis Schlafly with an honorary doctorate. Schlafly earned ~~two degrees~~ her BA from Washington University before devoting herself to a life-long career of telling women to stay in the kitchen. She came back for her JD years later, and now, she'll be back at WashU for her third degree.

Former Attorney General John Ashcroft, a Missouri native, recently endorsed State Rep. Jane Cunningham in her bid for State Senate. Cunningham made big news lately after she threw high school students out of her state capitol office because she didn't like the way they looked--ironically, the students were lobbying for anti-bullying bill.

Who would have thought that Virginia could have two Democratic Senators? Based on Tuesday's polling data, it certainly looks like that could be the case come 2008.

Dear President Bush,

As we loyal Americans all know, the president's wartime powers under the Constitution gives the president the authority to do anything he feels necessary, even if it would otherwise be unconstitutional. There are some people in this country who, despite the fact that 9/11 changed everything, don't realize that their hateful America-hating endangers our troops and strengthens the al Qaeda-Iran alliance. Therefore, I hope that you will use your unlimited constitutional wartime to authority to to rescind the following traitors' right to freedom of speech:
