This editorial from Joan Vennochi is so spot on I wish the Dems would reprint it and distribute it among the faithful. Especially sections like this:
Democrats continue to fight the last campaign, while Republicans are planning for the next two. While the Democrats are busy bashing Bush — a second-term president who is not running [...]

The reason I bring this up is because of the tragic death of 14 Marines after one of these devices upended their 25 ton device. This stuff is getting very serious [...]
I applauded the Administration for trying to change the terminology in an early post about the War On Terror, but the President doesn’t want it that way. I realize this may seem like a small deal to a lot of people, but in this specific case I really thinks the semantics of the [...]
Lindsay Beyerstein at Majikthise posts about Bill Frist’s call to end direct to consumer (DTC) prescription drug advertisements, and the political implications of his doing so. Beyerstein concludes that “Frist’s defection may say more about the political fortunes of movement conservatism than about Frist’s own prospects.”
The Boston Globe: With advertising under siege, drug makers [...]

Donklephant has been tracking opinion on the Supreme Court. Another interesting opinion poll asked Americans about the importance of issues the Supreme Court makes decisions on. 63% ranked abortion as “very important” and an almost equal number (62%) gave the same ranking to “detained terrorists’ rights.”
