The Burnt Orange Report gives you a look into the minds of Texas voters right now when it comes to the Democrats. I found it odd the difference between female and male voters in regards to the Kiebler elf.

Apparently even Texas Republicans are fed up with the Governor. I've seen Ms Spelling talk on C-SPAN and the Daily Show and she seems to be a good egg, but sadly she's a part of THAT machine.

I know in 2007 there seems to be quite a few Republican scandals, almost constantly. Well it turns out we all feel this way because that is the way the cookie crumbles right now, one a week.

Today is the day for graphs, misleading statistics, and empty rhetoric. I wonder who will be the first to have a Network moment.

At least SOMEONE is attempting to call the White House on its bullshit. Of course it isn't Congress, but if they have any kind of luck it could end up there.

A detailed look at civilian death numbers over at Informed Comment. Apparently the numbers even we expect are far below what most bloggers report.

Apparently we're a bunch of racists in Virginia, or at least that's how I read into Rep. Jefferson's complaint. This is in Northern Virginia he shouldn't have a worry, it's not like he's going towards the Carolinas. I understand why he would want a DC jury, those are the folks that keep electing a felon into office.

You know that dream we have of troops leaving Iraq? Well Dubya and his gang of thieves are doing their best to ensure that it never EEEEEEEEEEVVVVVER happens a-gain!

I would think that the banning of books from a place would be unconstitutional. Then again they're prisoners and who is going to fight for their right of freedom of religion?

Finally, it turns out we should all be good and sober Democrats and come to realize that we're never leaving Iraq, ever. Mr. Kristol, if we're intoxicated it's because we need the special sauce to even listen to your propaganda without losing our lunch.

Thursday Throw Down

We start off today with the possibility that some Republican candidates may be realizing that supporting the war may not help them win an election. I wouldn't be shocked if this was New York, California or some liberal hotbed, but Texas? Yall done pissed off the wrong state.

People are finally starting to realize what we could have done with the money spent on Iraq. Hell, the Gulf Coast could be much farther along right now then it is, namely in shambles.

See, there is what the administration would have you believe and then there's the truth. There seems to me to be a huge difference between 8 benchmarks and 3. I actually heard someone on the radio saying, well we should wait until the military report cause we can trust that more. Of course, that would also mean the Pratreus report would have to come from him, no the White House...which it is.

The story you're about to see is true. The names of those involved have not been changed to protect anyone's identity.

So, you've had a bad day, weeks, months, two terms, hey no one's really counting. You're doin a heck of a job Dubya.

Finally, some serious debate and ideas about this alleged war on drugs. The Libertarian in me says fuck it, let it be legal. If people want to use a crutch all their life, I am not one to judge them for it.

Chicago Dyke explains the difference between gay cruising for sex and what Senator Craig did. They are exactly right, people who are openly gay don't go to restrooms, rest stops and the like. It's the closeted ones with families who preach moral superiority who end up doing illegal things like that.

Do you really feel like being scared shitless, then go read Glenn today about Bush's rhetoric about Iran. He will be known in history, as the man who unified the middle east against America.

I love this administration's cronies. When someone tries to drum up some attention at their plight they consider it obstruction of justice. This US attorney would not have you take a gander at the men behind the current who control his strings.

In other news, CityCat and myself have passes to the preview of Halloween tonight. Yes, it means I have to go into Georgetown. I would have gone to Georgia and Denver to see this movie, review posted tomorrow.
