so what was the question, again?

now playing: dan fogelberg, "as the raven flies"



a screenshot from MSNBC today (courtesy of the folks at atrios):

and yeah, those are your only two choices for the poll.


how about a poll of our own?


does the media's embrace of the impending inevitability of a one-party state in america leave you feeling alienated and angry, or does it move you to support the kerry/edwards ticket?



anyway, some things i've read recently that you may find interesting:


michael kinsey in time magazine from sunday

more on john o'neill from the times

more than you probably want to know about ghorbanifar and his connections to judge laurence silberman

a couple of articles, here and here, for those of you who still may be staring at the MSNBC poll and trying to decide which way you'd vote....

josh marshall's long-awaited "iran-contra II" article

the last honest, impartial newspaper editor in america


now, this i'm not sure what to make of...it wreaks of oliver-stone-style conspiracy theorism, but it sure is interesting reading....(i found it while trying to dig up information about the first lady's unprosecuted hit-and-run in texas that apparently took the life of her ex-boyfriend, who was driving the vehicle she hit...)

..and a little something to feel good about my current home state for.
