Odds and Ends

Here's some miscellaneous news to process before my brain implodes...

Headline of the day: 'Study: Teens in abstinence classes just as likely to have sex'

Karl Rove's defense on the missing emails... 'I'm a big fucking moron'. At least that's what I take from this AP update: "Karl Rove's lawyer on Friday dismissed the notion that President Bush's chief political adviser intentionally deleted his own e-mails from a Republican-sponsored server, saying Rove believed the communications were being preserved in accordance with the law... Luskin said Rove didn't know that deleting e-mails from his RNC inbox also deleted them from the RNC's server."

And Attorney General Gonzales... incompetent or also a moron? You decide.

In related news, newly released Justice Department documents would seem to seal Gonzales' fate. But then shouldn't all the previous revelations have done that? The new revelations prove that Gonzales and other top staffers were heavily involved in advance planning on which fire U.S. Attorneys to purge, and who to replace them with and why (despite their previous testimony otherwise).

(UPDATE: Many, many updates on this story via Talking Points Memo- here, here, and here.)

Finally, Senator Obama vs. Daily Kos?? An internal-party debate on what to do about Iraq.
