Just picked up on this story via Varoufakis’ own Twitter acknowledging well-wishers. Apparently beaten by hired thugs of indeterminate origin in an Athens neighborhood with “a reputation for being a bastion of self-styled anarchists.” Varoufakis suffered a broken nose, cuts and bruises.

Rudy pulls out, of course

NYTimes reporting Giuliani Pulls Out of Interview With Jan. 6 Committee

He claims the committee wouldn’t allow him to record the session, so he decided to walk.

I wonder if Giuliani still has enough on the ball to realize that the committee’s refusal to hear him is a clear indication that they have already interviewed plenty of folks who ratted him out.

10th Anniversary of bin-Laden's "Mission Accomplished"

In two days, I'm sure there will be ample note of the 10th anniversary of the "Mission Accomplished" speech. All the great irony and infamy of that moment will garner the attention it deserves, especially in light of the opening of Bush 43's Presidential library last week.
But today is the 10th anniversary of a real and sustained victory. On this date in 2003, the press buried the story of the US withdrawal from its redoubt in Saudi Arabia. This was Osama bin-Laden's greatest victory-really the one he sought. And the fact that the Cheney-Bush administration buried the news in the run up the Commander Codpiece's ersatz victory dance indicates that Cheney and Rumsfeld and the others who were running things at the time had some sense of the stinging defeat we had suffered.

Speaker Boehner will no doubt usher in a new era of criminality and fraud in Congress that will make Jack Abramoff's operation look timid.

Predictably, we've started to see the full-blown Karl Rove strategy applied toward Barack Obama in recent weeks. Simply stated, the idea is to attack the opponent's strengths head-on, so as to defuse them. As a result, we've seen attacks on Obama's "popularity", ""charisma" and intelligence because they're among his most obvious strengths. They did the same thing to John Kerry: they undermined a war hero by lying about his record.
I then had the thought: Well, how might you use the Rove strategy against McCain? If the strategy worked effectively for Bush, why not borrow from their playbook. I searched and searched for a counter-strategy. Then it hit me:
The Republican candidates have no strengths.

The reason FISA was passed in 1978 was because successive administrations, culminating in the dire Nixon White House, abused the national surveillance infrastructure.

Jeffrey Klein's piece about McCain's military servicecertainly has me thinking about the frame around which to cast John McCain.

I have always appreciated and respected Paul Krugman's writing in the Times. His "Conscience of a Liberal" is very much in line with my own thinking. But today's column--the latest in a series of anti-Obama screeds--shows that he really is blinded by the disappointment that he must feel when he realizes that his promised chief economic adviser role has evaporated.

I subscribed to the McCain campaign's e-mail newsletter to do a little oppo research. It's always interesting to get the other guy's stuff straight out of the pipe. I was surprised by today's missive, which I post here for your perusal.

Have you noticed that nobody has developed the right shorthand to refer to this, the first decade of the third Millennium? The best I've seen is John Perry Barlow's "the uh-ohs" which does a good job capturing most peoples experience since 2000. But we've has the 50's, 50's, 70's, 80's and 90's (in my lifetime) -- what do we call this current decade?

I've been hearing all this fuss about how Karl Rove set up the Democrats on the FISA legislation they'll have to revisit before the '08 election. It's important for the Democrats to get out ahead of this issue, and charge the administration with willfully paralyzing this country's ability to fight terror by maintaining allegiance to an Attorney General who is a willful perjurer; one who has been undermined by the nation's top law enforcement official.
