Bush and The F102
An interesting piece on Bush’s Guard service and how he avoided danger by flying the F102, via the Donovans.
Also, this Lileks quote regarding Kerry’s lies nuance regarding Cambodia is spot on:
If Kerry
Gary Oldman???
Never would have guessed this about Gary Oldman. Loved State of Grace and Immortal Beloved.
The Devil’s Advocate
Ever watch a movie that you had seen several years ago and appreciate the movie bunches more thqan you did the first time? I watched the Devil’s Advocate last night for the second time, and I loved it. I didn’t remember liking it that much the first time around. Weird.
At any rate, the Pacino was great in the last twenty minutes of the movie.

Thank goodness I start teaching in two weeks.
Feckless Fool
Josh Marshall continues his one-man jihad against the Bush administration, once again trying to pin the blame for the whole Plame leak on President Bush:
President Bush could make it known either implicitly or explicitly that he wants to get to the bottom of this mystery and that anyone who is asked should free journalists in the way Libby has. If they don’t feel they can do so — which is certainly their right, working in the White House doesn’t mean you lose your right to defend yourself — they should take a leave of absence from their job or quit….
Needless to say, I’m not holding my breath waiting for this to happen. But let’s not lose sight of the president’s passivity and indifference to this probe. He’s dragging the country through this. And the reason, I think, is obvious. He doesn’t want the probe to succeed.
Or Bush could do the appropriate thing, which is to stay the hell out of the way of the investigation. Is there ANYONE who doubts that if Bush did anything to involve himself in the case, Marshall would not then immediately accuse him of a cover-up or improperly meddling with and impeding the investigation? Anyone?
I thought so. Also, I love the rhetoric:
He’s dragging the country through this.
Yes, indeed- President Bush is indeed dragging us through this long national nightmare known as the Plame investigation. The horrors of it all.
Our long national nightmare will be over when the world stops paying attention to people like Josh.
Altered States
It takes a special form of narcissism to elevate union political activity to ‘hero’ status, but the Democrats are just the guys to do it.
Thank goodness for the almighty SEIU heroes for taking up the valiant cause of fighting evil.
At any rate, if you want to see some real heroes, go here.
