Kevin Drum is tentavively, sort of predicting that maybe the Dems might take back the house. Then he has the audacity to say "you heard it here first." Obviously, he's delinquent in his blog-reading: I made an equally forceful 'prediction' of the same sort a couple of weeks...
Let's be frank, the Reagan worship is getting annoying. I know it'll run its course eventually, and I have to be patient. Last night I was at the gym, and.
The incomparable Bob Somerby notes many embarrassingly false and/or stupid comments from Tim Russert's appearance on Larry King this week, but I'd have to say that this is the best: RUSSERT: One.
