Via Atrios, apparently Dale Earnhardt Jr. told his pit crew to go and see F-911. Normally this wouldn’t be news, but the right is in full meltdown mode. A few comments from Free Republic: Well he does make LEFT turns for a living. oh boy… wonders how he feels now that a marine has been taken hostage […]
Saw Fahrenheit 9/11 yesterday afternoon. Lots of people outside the Neptune selling anti-Bush paraphenalia, a few gathering signatures. One guy wandering around with a display trying to convince Dems

A particularly silly post by Josh Chafetz getting into a lather over an accurate letter sent out by the Kerry campaign about an idiotic Hair Club For Growth ad being featured on George Bush’s w
Interesting discussion over at Crooked Timber regarding this story from the Chronicle of Higher Education (thank you, Cathy, for the subscription, although I haven’t actually had the opportuni
I don’t think most people understand just how colossally the Bush administration has fucked up the North Korea situation. The media story suggests that is has been an intractable problem and that Bush has done neither better nor worse than Clinton did. Fred Kaplan shows how this is wrong: When Bush came to the White House, […]
This is pretty cool, from Rolling Stone via Political Animal: Joe Biden: I was in the Oval Office the other day, and the president asked me what I would do about resignations. I said, “Look, M
I lied earlier–Charles Pierce’s comments at Altercation are highly necessary: I’ve made peace with the fact that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court once served the cause of whit
