Victoria's Secret appears to be about to launch a line targeted at underage girls labeled "Bright Young Things." This line is reported to include panties printed with "call me" and "feeling lucky?" In the light of the furor over Steubenville, this would seem to be remarkably tone-deaf, even for a company that would seem to pride itself in being "edgy." Young girls are fair game if they have disposable income.

THis morning's "special report" headline in the St Paul Pioneer press:

"Barack Obama is black. Will that matter?"

The paper has had a history all year of selecting extremely favorable Republican-coverage stories off the wire, and noticeably slanted Democratic-coverage off teh wire. Within the last month or two, they've published stories bringing out all the flag pin controversy, the Reverend Wright controversy and a whole host of other debunked crap, months after it had been put to rest in the rest of the media.

This, though, is just a bunch of blatant partisan handwringing meant to rally the troops.

What a horrific couple of days. I'm enraged, and wide awake with a stomachache and tears and a headache and won't be to bed anytime soon, if at all tonight. The last time I felt like this was election night 2004. The time before that? The first night of shock and awe. The time before that? The nights of September 11 and 12 and all succeeding nights for about a week. And I had a mild case of these symptoms election night 2000 - I had a bad feeling about W even then.

We need to protest.

We have the message.

We have the fury.

We need the language.

With this fucked-up facsimile of a knowledgeable electorate, we need to adopt a repulsive strategy from the Dark Side's playbook to get the public to realize what happened today.

Soundbites - make 'em raw, make 'em righteous, make 'em compelling.

Tommy Franks was the guest speaker tonight at the "Center of the American Experiment" annual dinner in St Paul MN. Some of his gems (from memory - not transcribed or recorded at the time):

Openly admitted that he flunked out of college two years in. Presumably, those first two years would have been where he would have taken those gen ed courses to learn the history of the middle east that would have enabled him to think critically about the plans to attack Iraq.

Unequivocally stated " we didn't go to Iraq for WMD's, but to get rid of Saddam and to set up a democracy so that 9-year-olds have an example other than being a suicide bomber." We didn't go to Iraq because they had WMD's? YOu want to talk to Colin and Condi and Dick about that?

Jeff Masters tells us that the modeling work of Dr Peter Stone (MIT) suggests that current predictions of a rise in global average temperature of 2.5-10.4 F by 2100 may, in fact, underestimate the actual increase in mean global temperature.
