It's just too bad that in George Bush and Don Rumsfeld's Pentagon, doing your job superbly and being committed to truth and the Constitution over political expediency gets you cashiered out of the service. The Navy and the JAG corps will be the lesser for it. For shame.
Synopsis: Rush Fox, a professor of ethics at Yale, is called upon by a fellow college secret society member to investigate a scandal that has erupted in the nation's capital. Four weeks prior to a major election, a well-respected Republican congressman has been accused of sexual improprieties with underaged congressional pages, forcing him to resign, ruining his career, driving the Republican party into a tailspin and ensuring that the Democrats regain the House and/or the Senate. The implications for the government, the pharmaceutical and military industries, and for rich people everywhere, pleads his friend, would be disastrous. Can Professor Fox find the wellsprings of these lies in time to save the election?
With each passing day Lieberman depends more and more on the least motivated voters. Least motivated to turn out, I mean. A Republican or conservative-unaffiliated who doesn't like the war, who doesnt like Bush and who is now appalled by the Foley scandal, has less incentive to go to the polls. That voter thinks: Jodi Rell doesn't need me, and I don't like anybody else. . . . If Lamont can make it a little closer by November than it is right now, he will have a better chance than most people give him in the long, strange trip of this campaign.
Dear Right Wing Bloggers, Thank you very much for trying to focus the blogosphere's attention on the cancelling of the production of Mozart's Idomeneo in Berlin out of fears that it would infuriate Muslims. . . . Now, here's your next cause celebre which is conveniently taking place right here in the USA . . I can only assume that if you do not oppose the banning of "Death of a President" as forcefully as you opposed the cancelling of Idomeneo you are not serious about championing free speech but instead cherry-picking your issues for maximum political impact.

Melanie Martinez was fired from her position as host of PBS KIDS Sprout's "The Good Night Show" because she appeared in two 30-second online films when she was 27, "Technical Virgin" and "Boys Can Wait," that spoofed abstinence-only education. The PBS ombudsman dedicated two of his columns to voice his opposition to the firing of Melanie, but her job wasn't saved. Melanie says there is no lawsuit in sight.
