I have little left to say on Iraq. At this point staying seems to involve vast party-line political considerations. Just as "only Nixon could go to China" we may have "only Democrats can leave Iraq".


In case you missed it the newly conservative supreme court last week decided to uphold a particular form of abortion ban. Many people are making an issue out of it although I think more out of a slippery-slope concern than real impact. The procedure in question is rare.

I had to print this one after the Virginia Tech event for the harsh light on our mercantile culture versus public safety. Ouch.
The situation with Gonzales firing 8 US attorneys, apparently for political reasons, took several ugly turns recently. Not only did the Attorney general say basically nothing in his testimony (such that even Republicans were angry at him), but it is being revealed that many of the attorneys he fired were pursuing fraud cases against Republicans. That's not going to be good for public sentiment.
