Jon on the conviction of Lewis "Scooter" Libby:
"Some speculate President Bush will pardon Libby before he serves jail time, while others... KNOW he will."

Indecision 2008: Second Democratic Presidential Debate

The infinite number of prime time hours occupied by presidential debates begs the question: can't we treat these face-offs like America’s Next Top Model? You know, get rid of one candidate after each one, until it's down to the final three, and then have a vogue-off to determine the winner? Stupid politics.
Moderator Wolf Blitzer accelerated the q-and-a process by asking candidates to raise their hands to convey stances on complicated issues like "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell," military force in Darfur, and Iraq policy. Blitzer finally posed the question, "If you agree that we need to repeal No Child Left Behind, please put both hands in the air," encouraging candidates to add emphasis by waving them around like they just didn’t care. They were also invited to say "ho-o."

Stephen Colbert: "To me, every day is the 4th of July -- which is why so many of my checks get returned."

Why veto something that could save lives?

NOT ABOUT SPORTS, BUT SOMETHING WAY MORE IMPORTANT. GEORGE W. BUSH IS GOING TO HINDER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AGAIN TO THE DETRIMENT OF ALL OF US.


Yesterday, Sen. Charles Schumer sent an urgent note-which is included below-saying we needed a grassroots uprising to convince President Bush not to veto the lifesaving Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act.The response was absolutely amazing. And good thing too.President Bush's veto may come as early as Monday morning. We need as many signatures as possible by then.

The president and his right wing ideologues are citing a promising new scientific study showing it MAY be possible to derive the most promising types of stem cells without using embryos. This, despite the fact that the very scientists who made this discovery have said it is important we continue to pursue all avenues of stem cell research.Sen. Tom Harkin, a chief sponsor of the bill, said it best: "It is time to take the shackles off of our federal researchers."Once again, Bush is cherry picking the science to the detriment of us all. So, please, if you haven't signed the DSCC's petition, do so now. We need all of the support we can get.
