Giuliani and Romney are balking at the talking snowmen by saying that scheduling conflicts and the format were issues. So CNN is now saying, “Okay, what time works for you?” The GOP version of the CNN/YouTube debate is still scheduled for Sept. 17, but may be moved to a later date. CNN spokeswoman Mara Gassman [...]
The unfolding Scott Thomas saga as I understand it… Scott Thomas Beauchamp is an aspiring writer, serving in the infantry in Iraq, writing in diary form about observing and participating in macabre and cruel behavior during his active service.

The most clueless question of the day ironically comes from Reason magazine… This past Sunday he hit a political respectability jackpot, with a long, thorough, serious, and critical-but-respectful profile in the New York Times Magazine. Most of the Ron Paul press tells, however questioningly, of a politician dedicated to severely limited government that doesn’t want [...]
I don’t usually link to content from the Huffington Post, but you have to see this piece about the Christians United For Israel conference. These people want Armageddon, as DeLay plainly states in this video, and Israel is the lynchpin. So their support for Israel is pretty much solely predicated on the fact that Israel [...]
A man I like a lot — Democratic New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer — is in the middle of his own version of Plamegate, complete with accusations that he sought to discredit a political rival by misusing government resources, and Spitzer’s vow to claim a state version of executive privilege in the burgeoning confrontation with [...]
