If you want to read a wonderful treatise on one person's journey from what he described as conservatism to a place that wasn't nearly a march towards liberalism (he still considers himself conservative), but rather a march away from the ideologue mentality of the conservative movement, then read this post from the Orincus blog. It grabbed me and wouldn't let go.

Craig Patterson, a 45-year-old ironworker in St. Louis worried about dwindling construction jobs, summed it up for USA Today: "I trust Bush with my daughter, but I trust Clinton with my job."

NY Times, Today:

Prosecutors expressed hope that a backlash against Mr. Ryan's action might make juries more likely to impose capital punishment, and that the clean slate would render moot any concerns about people sentenced under an old system.

So let me get this straight: Prosecutors are hoping that some sucker is going to get executed to make up for the ones that got away.

President Bush insults all Americans and victims of 9/11 by changing public enemy #1 from Osama to Saddam to advance his 'wag the dog' model of distracting Americans from his weakness as president.
