The dissembler in chief just said it again. Yes--he humbly admitted without accepting an atom of responsibility--the pre-war intelligence was wrong. Yes, there were no weapons of mass destruction, or even any active programs for developing them. But--here it comes, get ready for it... the world is Better Off Without Saddam Hussein.

He said it again and he'll go on saying it until we shut him up. A suggestion below the fold.

I talked to an acquaintance who works at the LA Times today. He said that there is a chance that Robert Scheer will be reinstated.

In case you hadn't heard, Robert Scheer, who wrote for the LA Times for over 30 years, was fired. It is widely believed that the publisher just didn't like Scheer's passionate progressive viewpoint.

He suggested that people email readersrep@latimes.com .

Please recommend so as many Southen California Kossacks will see this as possible.

I'm sure that Scheer's firing has been discussed, but I hope my conversation with an LA Times writer gives people an extra reason to write to the paper.

Watch the rebroadcast of Hardball tonight. Near the end of the show, about 50 minutes past the hour, there is a segment with two mothers of soldiers. The red haired mother speaks eloquently against the war and our duty to protest it.

She even mentions the Downing Street Memo. The other mother (blond), whose son was injured, gives the usual 'we have to support the troops and support our president' stuff. The redhead mom, was so beautifully calm and heartfelt. She pointed out all the ways that the Bush administration is not supporting the troops - that her son was killed doing a job he wasn't trained for, that he was in an unarmored vehicle, that soldiers even have to pay to do their own laundry.

She said much much more. You really have to watch it.
