As with many here, I'm sure, there's real delight in seeing the values-GOP get taken down by decidedly unseemly behaviour. Something though has been eating me since all these scandals involving gay GOP men have been emerging on such a regular basis. The hypocrisy of their actions is what I find condemnable --- but by and large their action itself I don't have a problem with and am disturbed many of these actions are actually 'criminal'.

As John in DC astutley points out, last night Bush mentioned in passing that syria/iranian targets were fair game if it meant stopping their support for the iraq civil war. Paraphrased.

Honestly, it's likely too late to get an enforceable resolution through congress to block the current escalation initiative of bush for iraq. blogs have lead the way in getting the US opposition to bush's strategy onto the front pages of every MSM venue.

Paul Hackett was involved in a wild west vigilante style bring-em to justice incident that just hit the news today.

Apparantly an auto ran through his fence and he chased the bandits down with a gun and held them till the police arrived.

If this doesn't 'speak' to the Reagan-Dems and NRA GOP swing voters then nothing will. The man needs to get ready to run for office again. Just a shame Voinavich isn't up next cycle, but maybe he can take out mean Jean and then build up to a Senate run in 2010.

Taegan's Political Wire has this new headline with a poll of the PA-SN:

In Pennsylvania, Casey Maintains Lead
Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) remains one of the nation's most endangered incumbents, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll. Challenger Bob Casey, Jr. (D) currently leads Santorum by 10 points, 49% to 39%, while Carl Romanelli (G) receives 5%.

In August, Casey led Santorum by eight points, 48% to 40%. Read More

I remember how Iraq was condmened in the aftermath of the Gulf War I for torching their oil fields and unleashing an epic ecological disaster on the Persian Gulf. Now it seems Israel is unnecessarily responsible for a similar disaster in the Eastern Med. They bombed, knowingly, oil storage facilities in the North of Lebanon (far from the Hezbollah enemy they presumably were targetting). Well, aside from causing great hardship to the civilians trying to flee and the Govt of Lebanon, democratically elected government, trying to maintain a semblence of control over vital infrastructure, it seems Israel succeeding in inciting one of the largest ecological disasters in the region.

Listen and learn.

Jackie Northam - NPR

Morning Edition, August 3, 2006 · Tons of oil spilled into the Mediterranean sea after Israeli warplanes bombed storage tanks near Beirut in the first days of the conflict. Environmentalists worry that if the slick isn't contained soon it could damage the fragile ecosystem.

There's a hilarious and true review of Jean Schmidt's first 'coffee' with constituents back in Ohio. Apparantly the power failed and she pulled the boyscout trick of holding a flashlight to her face - as if she'd need the special effects to make her any scarier.

In response to a question about the various amendments relevant to Spygate - she was obviously way over her head, but did manage a choice sound bite ripe for Dem commercials nationwide:

"that's a big question...privacy rights...(she seemed to cock her head for better reception)...we're at war...suspending the Constitution is sometimes necessary..."
