Today’s Iraqi election seems to have been a success (I’m waiting to see what the turnout ratios were for Shia/Sunni/Kurd populations). The question is, what kind of success will it be for the Bush administration?
I have no qualms saying, quite happily, that this is a feather in President Bush’s cap. He demanded elections, went forward […]

Might I have to eat my words?

This is the best article I’ve read on abortion strategies for the Democratic Party. Thanks, to my girl HRC.
