The environmental cause could use a snappy put-down directed against the oil addicts. "Spill Baby Spill" is the answer. In the age of 15 minute fame and the snappy 10 second sound-bite something short and simple has a role to play.

It is shocking that within the US hardly any attention has been given to a possible connection between the corporate swine-raising practices of the Smithfield Ham and the (initial??) outbreak of the disease in their backyard, La Gloria, in southeastern Mexico. However Smithfield Ham itself has yesterday acknowledged the concern, even as it denied responsibility:

Early today the US owner of an industrial pig production facility around 12 miles from La Gloria said it had found no clinical signs or symptoms of swine flu in its herd or Mexican employees. The world's biggest pig meat producer, Virginia-based Smithfield, said it is co-operating with the Mexican authorities' attempts to locate the possible source of the outbreak and will submit samples from its herds at its Granjas Carroll subsidiary to the University of Mexico for tests."

Based on what we now know, neither claim in the Palin pregnancy hubbub merits much discussion. The first is the allegation that she is the grandmother and not the mother of the fifth child. The second is the charge that by flying roundtrip to Texas in April - - during the eighth month of pregnancy - - she endangered the health of her foetus, as well as risking danger to herself and inconvenience to her fellow-passengers. She took her return trip AFTER she had started to leak amniotic fluid. The baby was then delivered prematurely after the 8 hour plus trip by plane and a further fifty minute car ride to her doctor's clinic.

Buzz flash has just called attention to both. http://www.buzzflash.com/...

But the issue is far more complicated and not worth mindless speculation.

Recently some have whitewashed McCain's support for hundred years in Iraq. The Columbia Journalism Review http://www.cjr.org/... ,
argued that he meant peaceful presence rather than military conflict. Politico repeated that, http://www.politico.com/... Of all people, Joe Klein, on April Fool's Day has correctly pushed back:

The problem with John McCain's 100 years in Iraq formulation isn't that he's calling for 95 more years of combat--he isn't--but that he thinks you can have a long-term basing arrangement in Iraq similar to those we have in Germany or Korea. That betrays a fairly acute lack of knowledge about both Iraq and Islam.

http://www.time-blog.com/...

But the ignorance revealed is far deeper than so-called gaffes. It represents a world view that proves how UNqualified McCain is to be anything more than an ex-flyboy. The lesson is to attack McCain's supposed strength.

Yesterday most of the Republicans on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform defended the apparent drug user against his accuser, while most of the Democrats were far more skeptical. The most egregious in attacking McNamee was Indiana's notorious Dan Burton, though even the so-called moderates, retiring representative from Virginia, Tom Davis, and Chris Shays from Connecticut, who was almost retired in 2006, got in their licks at the accuser. They along with some of the Democrats were obsequious in worshipping the icon, Roger Clemens.

At the very least any objective observer would recognize that something stinks here and that Clemens did not do a good job of refuting the testimony of his former trainer, Brian McNamee and his best friend, Andy Petite, that Clemons used human growth hormone. Whether or not Clemons should be put on trial for purgery is a different issue, but certainly the fans who respond to ESPN's polls have voted against him already.

The real question is why did most Republicans defend Clemons?

Almost a month ago I predicted that Bush would commute rather than pardon Libby. My prediction got some response so I thought to repost it with the attached comments in one convenient format. I will be curious to see what response it generates this time and if those who previously responded wish to add anything more.

No one has mentioned that Bush does have a solution to his Scooter pardon problem. It would appease the right without infuriating the left. There is a third option between doing nothing and issuing a pardon. Unfortunately it could reduce the political heat.

Has anyone put on their tin-hats to make the connection between Falwell's death and Comey's testimony this morning?

Ever since the Randall Tobias "massage" story broke in the Washington Post last evening http://www.washingtonpost.com/... I have been checking Drudge to see if, when, or how that prime source of sexual sleaze would cover it.

The discussion about NPR and the Webb interview repeatedly referred to Mara Liasson's husband as a factor in her bias. Many asked who he is, but no one responded.

What other bedfellows should we know about? Andrea Mitchell and Alan Greenspan. Mary Matalin and James Carville UGH!!!

Sorry for the brevity, but inquiring minds want to know.

A few weeks ago on ABC's Sunday AM show Mark Halperin pompously announced that anyone who thought that the Democrats will take over the Senate had too much time on their hands. Maybe Halperin will take a leave of absence to give himself some of that time to think things over. Read More
