This might be my shortest diary ever, but among the trillions of words written on our New National Nightmare that is neoconservativism, George W. Bush, Iraq, the gutting of the Constitution and on and on and on, I don't think I've ever seen it put more directly and succinctly.

It’s a brilliant idea – and one that any Republican governor could have tried in order to look somewhat human – but Oregon’s Democratic Governor Ted Kulongoski, along with the First Lady, will live on an average food stamp budget for one week.

I saw a story diaried this week -- no cite handy, sorry -- about a report that the US military has taken over Iraqi security, in a tacit admission that training the Iraqis is no longer feasible as a central part of our Iraq "strategy." Amazingly, an Army official minimized this acceptance of what was an Iraqi responsibility key to our extrication as "another leg of our mission."

That got me wondering: How many legs does the Iraq mission have? A bipod is two legs. A tripod is three.

Ueberroth: US "better off" if LA/CHI mayors ran it

Peter Ueberroth isn't likely to get an Air America gig any time soon. Not that he's way over on the Dark Side, but the former baseball commissioner is a big business kind of guy and a registered Republican. So, as I was watching the live announcement of what city the US Olympic Committee would pick, Chicago or Los Angeles, to bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, imagine my surprise when he had some unexpected words of praise for Antonio R. Villaraigosa, Mayor of Los Angeles, and Hizzoner Da Mare Richard M. Daley of Chicago.

As foolish as it is to think that DOJ is not a political animal, it's even more foolish to misunderstand those politics -- or, more accurately, to so badly misrepresent them, as our neoconservative "court jesters" have tended to do in recent weeks.

I am a great admirer of teacherken. I read with interest his diary of today, They will have no choice but to impeach, and I am moved to disagree. Note that this is an opinion piece without a lot of research. I want to get the thoughts out there fast and let the Kosmos pick it apart. You may fire when ready, Griswold.

Paraphrasing, the question was asked, HOW/WHY is it that the Bush Maladministration is, well, so extraordinarily ham-handed in its indiscretions? The answer came to me in a flash: The GOP has no compliance capabilties whatsoever. Moreover, those in the White House and the Maladministration who are emerging as taking actions in violation of one standard after another don't even know what compliance, as a term of art, means.

Lordy, this is funny! It's just one whip-saw after another with the Goopers. The latest is this controversy over White House senior staff testifying to Congress under oath. This is where perception turns in the favor of justice, and it's the words of the Ultra-Wrong that help it along.
