More on Obama's scorched earth policy
For all George W. Bush has been maligned as the constitution's worst enemy in 200 years, he has done precisely zero to censor his critics. If George W. Bush is the constitution's worst enemy ever, what does that make Barack Obama?
Question: How do Barack Obama's tactics compare to those of totalitarian dictators who supplanted more democratic forms of government.
The assignment is to investigate it yourself.
I am not the only one who thinks we're going to miss President Bush after he's gone: George Bush: The Comeback Kid
Amazing how often the President you have is always the worst one ever. Particularly if he's of the opposite party.
(btw, there really isn't much competition for James Buchanan as the worst president ever, and Jimmy Carter has the bar set pretty high for presidents within my lifetime).

Michael Totten: The War Won't End in Afghanistan
Al Qaedism is the most radical wing of an extreme movement which was born in the Middle East and exists now in many parts of the world. Afghanistan is not the root or the source.
Read the whole thing. From a man who's been all over the region talking to everyone from common folk to heads of state, it would be would be wise to pay attention. I don't think your average CIA chief of station knows his territory as well as Michael Totten.
I just did a final update to House Kills Best Likely Bill to Save the Markets
It's not a pretty picture. But most voters aren't paying enough attention to keep the rascals from getting away with it.

- Day by Day It is site policy to list the main page of every site I reference. Sometimes the real world intervenes and I haven't gotten to it yet, or one falls through the cracks on a long post with multiple references. It is also site policy to list the main page of every site that lists this one on their equivalent roll, as well as the main page of all sites that are members of any of the same groups this site is a member of. Please send me an email with a link to the main page of your site if I've overlooked you (dm at the domain name). For the clue-challenged, note that it is a requirement for your link to appear on every page of your site, just like mine does, and I will not link to spam sites.

Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
