According to a new poll, Howard Dean has leapt out to a 21 point lead in New Hampshire. That’s pretty amazing for someone who just one of the pack not that long ago. Unfortunately, two-thirds of those polled also believed that President Bush would be re-elected. Ugh. Anyway, over at Democracy Now there’s a piece […]
In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a new blog coming out of Iraq called Baghdad Burning. This one’s unique in that it comes from a female perspective, and it’s got a lot of interesting things to say about the lives and opinions of the people whose country we’re occupying. It’s pretty fascinating stuff, so take […]
Tom Tomorrow, creator of This Modern World, attended the recent Howard Dean rally in NYC, and then shared some of his thoughts. … I’ve talked to quite a few Dean supporters, including mainstream Democrats, lapsed voters, flaming leftists, Naderites, gay activists, civil libertarians, anti-death penalty lawyers, pro-single payer health professionals and even a surprising number […]
This week brought another fine comic from Tom Tomorrow. Read it here.
To celebrate Fox News dropping its lame lawsuit against Al Franken, here’s a blow-by-blow listing of their lies, distortions and half-truths during and just after the war against Iraq. Fair and balanced indeed. [Thanks to Julia for the link!]

Here’s something that definitely needed saying: Yesterday’s bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad was the latest evidence that America has taken a country that was not a terrorist threat and turned it into one. Of course, we should be glad that the Iraq war was swifter than even its proponents had expected, and […]
From Howard Dean’s op-ed piece in today’s Wall Street Journal: In about 500 days, the next president will take office. There will be an inaugural address, full of talk of promises and hopes. Let us hope the next inaugural speech holds up better in the perspective of history than the last one. Promising a “compassionate” […]
Even as the UN vows to continue its work in Iraq after the devastating attack on its headquarters in Baghdad yesterday, there are those among the right in this country who are celebrating the deaths that occurred. Real nice.
