Love them! They're languishing in obscurity! Let the night shift lavish attention where the day shift couldn't:
- smintheus' Waiting for Opening Day reports on conversations about Bush with loyalists ... while waiting for opening day.
- Captain Future's Not Even As A Bluff makes a strong argument about how treating the nuclear option as a legitimate consideration MUST be taken off the table.
- dannyinla's The charitable Dick Cheney - what does his dollar buy? does some awesome digging into the background of one of Cheney's favored charities, Capital Partners for Education.
- antifa's We're Way Up Ozzie's Pillar takes a sober look at what the summer may have in store as the neocon agenda collapses and the fall elections approach. Great thinking and writing on display here.
- ebgill's Suburban Strategy is a national issue takes a close look at an emerging GOP "suburban strategy" as evidenced in IL-10, where local seemingly non-partisan issues are debated while the Republicans support the national party under the radar.
- LithiumCola's Republicans and Democrats offers personal recollections of the nation's most recent presidents, beginning with Reagan, and how the GOP mendacity and mediocrity shine through. Well-written, as usual.
- SteveG's Green Beret? Red Herring: Rumsfeld's Bulldog on NPR This Morning devastatingly dissects the pro-Rumsfeld talking points.
- kamarvt's Car window blogging recounts the diarist's encounters and adventures after putting his political views on his car window as part of KagroX's "Impeach" campaign.
- JTML's For-profit traffic enforcement is a really informative diary on the new industry - and an attendant foreign corporation -- benefiting from the automated traffic enforcement devices now being used in many areas.
- ProgressiveSouth's Populism: key to the South? presents interesting statistics and issues that go beyond the traditional red/blue state divide.
- lapin's Rumsfeld Directed Torture Via Video-conference? floats a plausible theory, based on a buried line in an AP story.
- kay dub's Da Plan, Rummy, Da Plan! takes a close look at the machinations of the Rumsfeld mind. No comments as of late afternoon, yet really a good piece deserving of some.
- boltgirl's Promotion of Vice and Prevention of Virtue, USA takes a look at sexual repression legislation and a creepy Christian ritual called the "Purity Ball." Give this first-time diarist some love! She needs to be welcomed into the diary fold!
