the ultimate aphrodisiac

ill have to agree with low culture. this picture of dick cheney is creepy. im sure its just the type of gaze that gives lynne a woody before she rummages around under the bed for her "toys." or maybe its just a result of the viagra dispensers bob dole had installed in the senate chambers. if only they had a pill to stiffen spines as well.

red fight and blue

when i ask myself if dean is electable i have to look at this map and assume he could beat bush in new hampshire. the only other question is can he hold onto pennsylvania iowa wisconsin minnesota oregon washington and new mexico? or can he pick up something marginal but skewing republican like ohio louisiana arizona west virginia kentucky arkansas tennessee or missouri. and then there is a little place i like to call The Sunshine State. isnt a strategy that solidifies what you already control especially in the midwest the best way to go. maybe you can turn ohio missouri and/or florida.

just noticed that The Carnegie Endowment For International Peace are releasing a report today about the exploitation and obfuscation of WMDs intelligence during the buildup to war in iraq.

theres a live webfeed presentation by CEIP at 1230 est.

us news outlets have ignored the release although abc news did pick up the reuters (uk) wire story. i dont know if the fact that there is a quote from someone on Nightline has anything to do with that. the financial times has the most balanced report. they also refer to CEIP as a "moderately left of center" think tank which i would say is more apt than "liberal."

mcgoverning expectations

"The Democrats see a hobgoblin under the bed, and his name is George McGovern. Low-grade panic is beginning to set in as pundits forecast a repeat of 1972: "As Massachusetts goes, so goes the District of Columbia." The prospect of "another McGovern" whets the appetite of Bush partisans while generating gloom and shame among Democrats. Howard Dean, for one, flees the association, while other candidates tar him with it."
