Making a public option available with tax credits for the poor has some advantages, namely that many uninsured people will now have coverage. But as a cost control mechanism it's not going to work in the long term.

A lot is being made of Sarah Palin's being caught flatfooted when asked about the "Bush Doctrine", and while that one was bad enough, isn't there another, maybe more fundemental error waiting to be revealed?

I know 99% of the people hear are going to think I'm all wet, but I find Keith Olberman's fawning praise of every major speech of the convention to be not only blatantly unobjective but totally over the top in almost Faux-Newsian fashion

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we should have seen it coming - the body politic is finally trying to reject the healthy dose of change it received when Obama entered the Presidential race.

Go to their website to hear about what the GOP is foaming at the mouth about in the Patreaus hearing.

Thanks, Moveon, for handing the hawks a softball that they gladly hit out of the park.

We have been told this convoluted tale that somehow the government in Iran is responsible for the deaths of 170 US soldiers. Thinking about that number I got to wondering how many friendly fire deaths there have been in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Josh Marshall and his crew have linked up to this piece by Laura Rozen over at Washington Monthly that addresses the excessive secrecy surrounding Dick Cheney's office. Check it out:

Please check out this fascinating report filed by the Guardian. It actually reports from inside the Sunni insurgency. I haven't read anything like it, and it makes one thing very clear: 5 years after 9/11, Al Qaeda is handing us another embarassing and costly defeat.

A lot of the commentary criticizing the disasterous adventure in Iraq, especially in recent weeks, seems to be focusing on the instability it is creating. But one must realize that from the neocon perspective, this is success, not failure.

So I'm sittin' here watching Tucker Carlson for some reason and he has this guy on from something called the "Foundation for Democracy in Iran", which was way to reminiscent of the inside joke in Syrianna. I think the dude's name was Timmerman.
