Terrible trio of ballot initiatives struck down by court! Excellent news. If you’re a supporter, you know what to do, collect signatures legally. If enough people believe in them, you’ll get it on the ballot.
Karl Rove to stump for Senator Sunshine — behind closed doors.

Know your rights; FEC’s rules on political activity and blogging, among other things.
Western Democrat on the importance of CO 6. Hint, it has to do with Tom Tancredo’s paleo-conservative hate mongering.
Why Democrats are in a position to run on security and national defense. Seize the opportunity, folks!

Chertoff’s claims that security can’t be improved without bankrupting the country is, as usual with Bush administration officials, pure hogwash.
Dana Milbank notes that Treason Season has begun.
Recent remarks show that Bush believes he’s on a religious crusade. Help! Stop the ride! I want to get off!
And it’s not just the President; loony Republicans want to suspend habeus corpus for suspect aliens and “enemy combatants,” which means no trial or recourse for petitioning their captors. Yale professor Bruce Ackerman weighs in: “Terrorism is a grave threat, and it may well require recalibration of the balance between security and freedom. But this should be done through democratic deliberation and debate, not by presidential war-making against fellow citizens.”
Digby on the obsession of Baby Boomers to match the exploits of their fathers, “Pimping the Greatest Generation.”
Dave Neiwert on how the Republicans are projecting facism. Fascinating read. I plan to riff off this later…

Kinda like “fake, but accurate,” huh?

You realize, of course, that Colbert is mocking you, don’t you?

Mocking me, or the “right-wing” strawman you make me out to be?
Did I say anything about the 9/11 movie? Do I particularly care about the 9/11 movie?
The answer is, of course, “no.”
I just find it interesting that you think Colbert’s remark is so funny, yet I’m guessing that you probably believe that Rather’s “fake, but accurate” documents are true.
Which, of course, makes me somewhat guilty of what I’ve just accused you of, but I’m going to go with it anyway.

Do I think Dan Rather’s documents were real? No. Do I think the allegations are true? Yes.
Unlike the scenes in the ABC documentary that were fictitious, showing Clinton in a bad light (remember Clinton actually went after bin Laden and saw him as a threat, unlike Bush), the allegations against Bush’s service in the National Guard are well founded.
That fake documents exist about actual events doesn’t suddenly mean those things didn’t happen.
