Didn't Bill O'Reilly engage in slander or libel when he compared Daily Kos members to Nazi's and KKK members?

So when does the Rush Limbaugh Era of Republicanism end?

When does the hate and division stop?

It's been forever since I used my Kos diary (been here since before the 2002 elections), but I figured I'd cross-post this entry from my blog

Does anyone have a link, or title/author/publication, for an article I read some months (years?) ago.

It was about the bias to the right among the op-ed writers of Creators Syndicate. Read More

It seems to me we have lost sight of something rather obvious with regard to the Bush TANG memos dispute. It is simple:

If you have not held the original memos that CBS has, your opinion is quite irrelevant. Read More

This is a short and simple diary.

It occurred to me that I did not know how many troops we deployed in Gulf War I. In Gulf War II we have 130,000. Our mission, while against a weaker enemy, is far broader: occupy Iraq and construct a stable, democratic nation.

The mission of GW1 was to kick Iraq out of Kuwait, a much smaller geographic area.

There have been repeated claims of a troop shortage in Iraq today. So, in the less expansive mission of Gulf War I, how many troops did we have?

Answer:
Gulf War I: 490,000 US; 210,000 Coalition
Gulf War II: ~130,000 US; ~20,000 Coalition

sSource (for GWI numbers. GWII from memory)

Saddam's army was undoubtedly stronger in 1991. Nonetheless, the difference between our commitment now and then is rather amazing.

I was talking to my mom today, as she stopped by my house. We touched briefly on politics.

Mother generally says things like 'politics is stupid,' 'I don't trust politicians,' 'I don't like to vote.' etc.

She is rather apolitical.

So much to my surpise, as we are having a normal conversation, talking about Saddam being captured, she says:

'You know who I like for president next year?'

'Who?' I ask, thinking she might say Clark. I am also thinking that if she says Bush I am going to smack her.

'Howard Dean. I like him. I've seen him talk, and I really like him.'

I was very surprised. My mom is quite independent and apolitical, and this early in the season she likes Dean. Maybe there is a chance next year ...

It is with great sadness that I make what will be my last online expression for a while. My wife and I are moving, and we will be in between houses for a week. We will have no net connection, not even a phone line. Ahhh!

On the upside, I might actually get work done over the next couple of weeks.
