Mickey Kaus, everybody's favorite "Democrat" (scare-quotes earned through countless weeks of Liebermanesque "bipartisanship" towards Bush, and most especially through kissing up to Ann Coulter), has actually provided an interesting comment on the CT-Sen exit poll. Click here, then scan downwards to the item about the exit poll...

In brief, he finds that the GOP spin about Lamont supporters being (as the description of Deaniacs went) latte-sipping trust-fund liberals, is just false. Education correlates with Lamont support, but income doesn't.

Kudos to Kaus for taking the time to dig into the data, and for resisting the GOP spin machine... on this one.

He also said something almost-nice about Kos, mixed in with the usual abuse...

Refusing to run over children is punishable by death.

Jason Moon Served In Iraq And This Actually Happened

Jason Moon, who served in Iraq, describes how he was ordered, as a convoy driver, to run over children. And when he said he couldn't do it, was punished by being put in the most vulnerable seat in the convoy.

The architects of the Iraq War -- Rumsfeld first, followed closely by people above and below, like Cheney and Tommy Franks -- need to be tried for war crimes.

Somebody noted, about Mark Warner's "why I am a Democrat" speech, that they didn't think that any of the great achievments he cites had happened in recent decades. It strikes me that this ought to be something people around here appreciate. Read More

Support our troops?

So, I just encountered the outrageous story of USMC Pfc. Jeremy Tod, and my immediate thought was: so much for Republicans "supporting our troops". This thought was immediately followed by, "I wish I had Mr Tod's address -- I'd mail him a fiver." Read More

You may've seen this movie promoted in the sidebar ads. Because I was a (very minor) investor in the production of the film -- a true story about an effort by a Religious Right group to censor and intimidate -- I received a limited edition / collectible DVD. I had heard that pre-final-cut versions got a lot of buzz at a couple of film festivals, and I was really happy to see it in my mailbox.
