I submit for your derision, country singer Troy Lee Gentry indisputably proving his manhood in the most perilous of ways:

"Troy Lee Gentry, of the country singing duo Montgomery Gentry, has been accused of killing a tame black bear that federal officials say he tagged as killed in the wild."

....

"Authorities allege that Gentry purchased the bear from Greenly, a wildlife photographer and hunting guide, then killed it with a bow and arrow in an enclosed pen on Greenly's property in October 2004."

You have no idea how excited I am about this. Finally, an avenue that lets us fight out the Culture War without actual violence:

Video game biz converting to Christianity. Focus on this section:

Another major factor is the unveiling of the first PC release from Left Behind Games, which will translate content from a 13-volume book series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins that has sold more than 63 million copies.

"Left Behind: Eternal Forces" is a real-time strategy game set in New York during the End of Days, which will allow gamers to choose between the angelic Tribulation Forces and the demonic Global Community Peacekeepers in a multiplayer online mode. The game is set to ship before Easter. . .

I read it so you don't have to! Some tidbits from the "Blog of the Year" on the Bolton confirmation (taken from different posts):

"One more thought: there are, admittedly, differences between the House and the Senate. Nevertheless, watching this apparent train wreck really makes me appreciate Tom DeLay. There is a reason why political parties, and their adherents, value party discipline. Let's hope that what is happening to Bolton doesn't happen to DeLay."

Clouds Gather: Don't let the economic message fade

In the early days of the 2004 race Democratic candidates did well running on the Bush Administration dreadful economic record. Later in 2004 the economy sent out some mixed signals (the occasional good job report, always followed by a correction and bad month, for example) that were "spinnable" by the GOP to indicate that things were looking up.

Now they're looking worse than ever:

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - After cruising along for much of 2004 and the start of this year, the U.S. economy may be having engine problems.

Economists and investors who were confident about the pace of growth only a week or two ago are suddenly much more concerned about a slowdown in the months ahead.

As the first-quarter earnings reporting period speeds up next week and key economic reports are released the next two weeks, there will be talk about whether factors such as high gas prices and rising short-term interest rates could choke off growth in the months ahead.

Gen. Clark has relaunched his PAC website: http://www.securingamerica.com/

It pretty sharp and has all the basics; e-mail alerts, the "WesBlog," position papers etc. I truly do he emerges as a strong voice in the party. I supported him in the primaries, as he and John Edwards were the only two who's speeches I enjoyed. He always struck as both competent and intelligent, just not always great on TV.

Regarding his new website, I love this quote from somebody named Erick Mullen (staffer?): "To think that this means Wes Clark is running for president is ridiculous," said Erick Mullen. "Having said that, all options are on the table." Ah, if only!

As a result of the recent $25 million lawsuit against them, USA Next has decided to change the photo they use to capitalize on the homophobia of its audience. While doing so, they've upped the ante and now have a homophobic appeal combined with a celebrity endorsement.

Susan Sontag has died at age 71.

I have to admit I have not read much of her work beyond her New Yorker article post 9/11 that made her such a favorite of the right wing blogs for a while.

I would love to hear any and all anecdotes on how she has influenced you or any recommendations from her works that we should read. Read More

In those glorious few days before the election, when we are feeling so damn confident that Big John was going to win, and win big, I started thinking about the next race. Specifically, the race to fill Kerry's sure-to-be vacant senate seat. With my chickens well an fully counted prematurely, I sent an e-mail to Rep. Barney Frank. You see, the special election would only be 140 days away I didn't want to waste a minute and lose any of our John-mentum. So, I told him that I was officially volunteering for his not-yet-announced senate campaign, and would do whatever he needed in Western Massachusetts (where the few opportunities to help Kerry meant dragging my ass up to NH). Still a bit raw from our loss, I was saddened just a bit more by this letter: Read More

An announcement on CNN.com

Netscape responsible for Bush photo insult

"A Web image and text disparaging President and Mrs. Bush currently circulating on the Internet was not created, disseminated or posted by CNN at any time, as is alleged. It was done by an employee of Netscape and posted on Netscape.com. CNN had no knowledge of it until it surfaced on other Websites. CNN has requested an immediate apology from Netscape. "

Please, please tell me someone has this -- we all need a good laugh today.

Apparently Goldberg has completely exhausted any and all reasons to vote for George Bush. All he is left with is this (from NRO):

"But if Bush wins, Michael Moore won't be on the Today Show the next day cheering and hugging his friends. Katie Couric will wear black. Alec Baldwin won't give interviews. P Diddy will go away. Susan Sarandon will mope."

We all have our eye on the prize that gets handed out on Nov. 2 (hopefully). But should the unthinkable happen, we have already accomplished a lot this year; things that can't be easily erased. I post this not to prematurely congratulate ourselves, but to note our collective effectiveness in the hopes that it invigorates us down the stretch. Key successes to date:

<> Two open seat congressional pickups this year
<> Millions of dollars of lost wealth inflicted on the Sinclair Broadcasting Group
<> We've forced Bush to say that he will not restart the draft (whether he sticks to that is another story). Kerry has promised the same.
<> Obama-rama!
<> We've introduced Howard Dean to the world. He is not going away.
<> Registered millions of new voters
<> Exposed Novak as the douchebag that he is.
<> We've kept stem cells in the forefront of the debate

What else?
