Professor — regarding the glove-offing, I respectfully submit that I think vitriol is so 2004.
Now that the war is over (to take Phil Ochs out of context — since both pro- and anti-war people are working to figure out the best way to bring the troops home, for all intents and purposes the war is [...]

I got a chance to see The Last King of Scotland the other day (it opens sometime next week) and although I shouldn’t be guessing Oscar stuff — especially this early and especially because I usually suck at it — you can’t help but think that Forest Whitaker will win for his depiction of Ugandan [...]

Not to diminish what is a very, very good thing — and even as a casual news observer, I was excited about it — but is it possible that the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was facilitated by events way beyond U.S. or legitimate Iraqi control? As in what may have happened with Saddam’s sons, [...]

Apropos of nothing — except maybe stuff like this or this — I think there is a plausible scenario in which a third-party or independent candidate could possibly win the 2008 Presidential election, but it has to go down like this:

Mitt Romney as Republican candidate would be attractive to conservatives and moderates but his Mormonism [...]

A worthwhile disinformation campaign cannot be accomplished without The New Yorker’s Seymour Hersh. And while you’re at it, let him write that they’re considering nuclear weapons. The Iranians will s**t themselves:

I’d like to think that this is some crazy counter-counter espionage psy-ops false-leak wonderment because if our military is that careless — or the Russian ambassador that stupid — then we’ve got something to worry about:
Two Iraqi documents from March 2003 — on the eve of the U.S.-led invasion — and addressed to the secretary [...]

I just had a funny thought after finishing mixing tonight’s episode on Russ Feingold: What if Feingold ended up facing John McCain in the 2008 Presidential election. McCain vs. Feingold. How would they finance their campaigns?
Seriously: you’ve got the two co-authors of the most seminal piece of campaign finance reform legislation squaring [...]

The news that Iran and the US are going to meet to discuss Iraq of all things seems strange on its face but lends credence to the idea that there was a geopolitcal strategy behind invading Iraq, right?
About that post title . . .

I’m gonna pull a Contrarian and say that this note from Sam Alito to James Dobson was intentionally leaked:
“Dear Dr. Dobson:This is just a short note to express my heartfelt thanks to you and the entire staff of Focus on the Family for your help and support during the past few challenging months.
I would also [...]
