According to the AP, Bush is going to take his physical this Saturday.

In the article, the usual reasons for the delay are given, though none of them explain why it's taken until a month after the election for him to schedule the physical.

And they go on and on about how healthy the prez has been in previous years.

I suspect that Bush just simply doesn't like doing physicals - much like most males in the country. And I think that his problems are unlikely to be uncovered in a physical. It would take a full-scale mental exam to find out why he's so pigheaded and un-empathetic.

TheStreet.com, call's Sinclair's move one of the 5 dumbest things on Wall Street last week. And that was before the stock really started tanking.

See the whole story here, a couple choice guotes after the jump

I think the writer is being way too careful, but given that this was written last week, that may not be too surprising. I'm sure he'd be a lot more critical right now. Read More

I don't know what Friedman was doing while on vacation, but whatever he did, I hope he keeps on doing it.

His article today rips the Bush administration for failures in energy policy. Friedman calls their energy policy 'No Mullah Left Behind'

Anyway, the first couple paragraphs after the jump, or read the whole thing here

Apologies if this has been diaried already, google turned up nothing. Read More

I found this at informationclearinghouse.info, via bartcop. Lorentz is a former state chairman of the Constitution Party of Texas and an NCO currently serving in Iraq.

Here's what he has to say:

Before I begin, let me state that I am a soldier currently deployed in Iraq, I am not an armchair quarterback. Nor am I some politically idealistic and naïve young soldier, I am an old and seasoned Non-Commissioned Officer with nearly 20 years under my belt. Additionally, I am not just a soldier with a muds-eye view of the war, I am in Civil Affairs and as such, it is my job to be aware of all the events occurring in this country and specifically in my region.

I have come to the conclusion that we cannot win here for a number of reasons. Ideology and idealism will never trump history and reality. Read More

It's been mentioned that Stork would probably bow out. I received an email from him (see extended entry) today that confirms it.

Sorry to see you go, Jim. Good luck and get well. Read More
