It looks like Josh Marshall hit the nail on the head in the reasoning behind the two card monty involving Rep. David Dreier and Rep. Roy Blunt in the aftermath of Delay stepping down. Wapo has the details. Judging by what I've read about Dreier around the ol'blogosphere, when fellow Republicans call him too moderate, it means too homosexual. I don't know, I just read it on some blogs.

Addressing a caller's suggestion that the "lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30 years" would be enough to preserve Social Security's solvency, radio host and former Reagan administration Secretary of Education Bill Bennett dismissed such "far-reaching, extensive extrapolations" by declaring that if "you wanted to reduce crime... if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down." Bennett conceded that aborting all African-american babies "would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do," then added again, "but the crime rate would go down."

PBS is the best ever. it had a two part two day martin scorsesedocumentary on bob dylan, and in one scene now old bob dylan GUSHED andgot kinda giddy when he told how he loved johnny cash, and Johnny Cashthought he was top notch and was flattered so he gave him his guitar, and bob was overcomeand then they showed them singing together and it was the cutest thingever, but poor bob did NOT age gracefully, right now i'm watching Popin protest, the history of revolution through music in the 20th centuryand it's ok so far but way to brief and jumpy. Joan Baez has aged verygracefully and in my opinion looks way better, Patti Smith has not andlooks like some crazy country hick that never eats or wear shoes buthas twenty dogs and ten kids..

Senate Confirms Roberts As Chief Justice WASHINGTON - John Glover Roberts Jr. won confirmation as the 17th chief justice of the United States Thursday, overwhelmingly accepted by the Senate as the man to lead the Supreme Court through turbulent social issues for generations to come. The Senate voted 78-22 to confirm Roberts — a 50-year-old U.S. Appeals judge from the Washington suburb of Chevy Chase, Md. — as the successor to the late William H. Rehnquist, who died earlier this month. All of the Senate's majority Republicans, and about half of the Democrats, voted for Roberts. Underscoring the rarity of a chief justice's confirmation, senators answered the roll by standing one by one at their desks as their names were called, instead of voting and leaving the chamber.

The Danish Air Force today said it had paid 31,175 kroner (€ 4,102) in compensation to a part-time Santa Claus whose reindeer died of heart failure when two fighter jets roared over his farm. The animal, named Rudolf, was grazing peacefully at the central Denmark farm of Olavi Nikkanoff when the screaming F-16 jets passed overhead at low altitude in February. The reindeer collapsed and died, leaving Nikkanoff with the prospect of only one animal pulling his sleigh next Christmas.

When Wolfgang attempted to re-enter the hall he was stopped. Reports say that the Terrorism Act was used to

THE PERPETUALLY OFFENDED. Former Iowa football coach Hayden Fry had the visitors'locker room painted pink, an act of interior decorating that has irritated numerous visiting coaches. (The idea of just ignoring it and putting your pants on one leg at a time apparently hasn't occurred to people. Well, maybe it occurred to Iowa State.) The locker room has recently been repainted (drunk tank pink?) and some people are getting their... no, let's not go there... knickers in a knot over it.

Roberta Combs, President of the Christian Coalition of America, said after today's vote, "Christian Coalition is pleased that the United States Senate confirmed Chief Justice Roberts by such a wide margin. We believe that Chief Justice Roberts is in the mold of Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas and will respect the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the land, and this is what President Bush promised during his presidential campaigns. We are confident that President Bush will nominate to replace Justice O'connor someone who will not legislate from the bench and who will revere the Constitution."

We have a new chief justice of the Supreme Court. Judge John Roberts was confirmed by the US Senate earlier this morning and sworn in by senior associate justice John Paul Stevens later in the day. My personal favorite quote came from Ted Kennedy, who voted against Roberts ’ confirmation: “ I hope I am proven wrong about John Roberts. I have been proven wrong before on my confirmation votes. I regret my vote to confirm Justice Scalia, even though he, too, like Judge Roberts was a nice person and a very smart Harvard lawyer. ” Okay then!

Anyways, Chris Martin was downright bubbly throughout the night, running around the small stage like a man possessed and also taking a moment to run through the capacity crowd to the back of the arena during "In My Place." He also managed to screw up the start of "The Scientist" which he compared to being voted off American Idol... He was also throwing out special mentions to Atlanta left and right, even managing to work Outkast, Michael Stipe and "Georgia On My Mind" into the lyrics of "Politik" and later on during the encore he brought out a special guest in the shape of Michael Stipe who then went on to sing "Nightswimming" with Martin on the piano to the delight of all there.

Under the steady leadership of Stephen Harper the Conservative Party of Canada has clawed its way back into contention. They are now within striking distance of victory in an election that could very well happen this fall. It appears as though Paul Martin not Harper is the one who had a horrible summer. Perhaps it is his leadership that needs to be questioned. His reckless spending and socialist tendancies have turned the business community against him. The tide is turning and there is nothing CTV and The Globe and Mail can do about it this time.

North and South Dakotans, Dorgan and Johnson voted YES. Landrieu, Leahy, Levin, all YES.

On Wednesday, a Travis County, Texas, grand jury transformed national power-politics in Washington, handing down an indictment of the powerful House majority leader, Tom Delay (R-TX). Delay, 58, was forced to resign his majority leader position, the second most powerful in the House, after he was indicted on one count of criminal conspiracy. The case alleges that Delay and two political associates laundered corporate contributions to a now defunct Texas political action committee they formed, Texans for a Republican Majority PAC (TRMPAC), to benefit Texas GOP candidates, in violation of state campaign finance laws.

We all knew that anti terrorism legislation was open to abuse, but we never dreamed it would be turned on pensioners. The sad thing is that Mr Wolfgang being a Labour member for 57 years (that's five years longer than Mr Blair has been alive) was one of the few people in the country with a genuine interest in the conference. It also turns out that Mr Wolfgang escaped the Nazis in 1937. The Conservatives are going to have a field day with this. It also makes you wonder how Howard and co. are going to top this at their conference in Blackpool next week. Strangling kittens on stage perhaps...

I started work on a post about Congressman David Dreier (R-CA). I wanted to point out how conservatives wanting stronger border security had dodged a bullet when Dreier was pushed aside by House members that favored Roy Blunt (R-MO) to replace Tom Delay. I got lucky. My friend Bernard at ACSOL thankfully beat me to posting on the subject. He ’ s a much better writer and he clearly knows more about Dreier than I do.

I'll be honest with you, I sometimes read about dumb shit like the Kenny Chesney/Renee Zellweger breakup. The "Most Emailed Stories" are all listed on my Yahoo homepage, I can't avoid it. Anyway, when I heard that they were splitting up because of some "fraud," the first thing I thought was, "Man, I wish I had a shot at Zellweger." But the second thing I thought was, "Y'know, I bet someone's gay."

Which brings us to today's Wall Street Journal atrocity. Penned by Charles Murray, he of The Bell Curve fame, it argues that what we 're seeing post-katrina isn't poverty but a once-again visible "underclass," a sort of shadow society of unsocialized black men with no appetite for work, no capacity to hold jobs, and no ability to be helped through conventional methods. They are, quite literally, savages, unable to function in the world the rest of us inhabit. They are, as he puts it, the "looters and the thugs," not to mention the "inert women doing nothing to help themselves or their children." And government attempts to craft helpful policy will fail because, after all, it doesn't matter if you give a gorilla a college loan, it's still a gorilla.
