welcome back to the 50’s
it’s not pure 50’s… but it’s a taste of the 50’s…
The rebirth of McCarthyism [seattle times, 2005.06.30]Respectable opinion treats Rove’s speech as just another partisan flap. It’s much more. It’s the reincarnation of a style of politics that turns political opponents into traitors or dupes who are soft on the nation’s enemies. Welcome back to the ’50s.

canada is for lovers
to co-opt the virginia slogan… Canadian parliament approves same-sex marriage.
i suppose this means my country will start building another fence.

mr. souter, we’ll take that now
with the supreme court backing eminent domain for private development, it took only a matter of days for the bag to get out of the cat.
announcing hotel lost liberty, a monument to former american glory and future economic progress that is to be built on the land currently occupied by one justice david h. souter.
plan your vacation now.
i wonder if any of the other relevant justices (stevens, ginsburg, kennedy, breyer) live around here? i toyed with real-estate development once upon a time…
the decision [pdf] is available.

taking the fight to karl
seems that some people are a bit upset about some comments from one mr. karl rove:
“Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.”
seems that some of them are serving in iraq.
i guess it’s probably news to mr. rove that liberals are in this all-volunteer american army. no. on second thought, he’s smart enough to know better. go ahead. take it personally.
in the meantime, as much as i sympathize with liberal american soliders (and i do, and they are worth reading), it’s probably worth noting that this is a classic neo-con tactic to distract everyone with some well-timed offensive rhetoric while someone else gets stabbed in the back. i admit i wasn’t paying attention. someone tell me who got screwed while rove was running his mouth?
