A disgusting vat of filth that no self-respecting intelligent person would wade into.

Sam Brownback puts hold on judge for attending a friend's "commitment ceremony." Not for herself being in one, or participating in one. For attending one. Not for supporting one publicly. JFC.

I wonder if Dick Cheney has ever been to one of those.

Depends. Is someone keeping you in prison and forcing you to stay awake, as a means of extracting a confession?

In the past, yes. Essentially it was stay awake or don't show up tomorrow.

I wonder how many millions in fund raising dollars he made by taking this position?

Hey, Sidd! I found your sense of humor. It's about 1000 miles away from you, not that you were looking for it.

Oh -- I didn't realize that what you said was a joke.

Being funny might help tip people off. Keep that in mind next time.

So the guards would tell hiim "if you sleep today, you don't get to come to prison tomorrow"?

Interesting theory.

The first line of the story is wonderful:

The Bush administration is split over the idea of a surge in troops to Iraq, with White House officials aggressively promoting the concept over the unanimous disagreement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,



This is the Admin that has been saying, for years, "we are listening to what the generals tell us."

I think that now, with Rummy gone, we're starting to really hear publically what the military branches really think.

Remarkable change in the public airing of dissenting views -- began right after Rumsfeld announced his resignation.

P.S. Rumsfeld kept quite a lid on them, so its not at all clear to me that the President ever heard much in the way of the dissent/debate from the military side. I blame SecDef for that, but the President probably deserves some for not digging deeper.
