Odds and Ends

Some random stories, etc, that caught my interest today...

First up, Glenn Greenwald presents- when far-right extremists go wild!

Charles Krauthammer hates the Supreme Court, misses the good ol' days of internment camps for Japanese-Americans.

In lighter news, Bill O'Reilly joins in the group of conservative talkers who see an anti-American conspiracy in 'Superman Returns'. O'Reilly compares the ommission of the phrase "and the American way" from the film to a George Soros-fueled conspiracy of secular-progressivism based on anti-U.S. sentiment out of fears "some jihadist in Pakistan might throw popcorn at the screen". Apparently even Superman cannot win in the imaginary 'culture war' destroying our nation.

Joe Lieberman and Ned Lamont debated last night for the first and only time in the Connecticut Democratic primary race. The debate received media coverage on MSNBC and even foreign stations, as experts believe the primary results will foreshadow the leaning of the main midterm elections. Video highlights at PoliticsTV. Joe hated Ned, some say, and misses debating his friend Dick Cheney.

Finally, President Bush turned 60 yesterday; received a soothing massage from Larry King.
