Even More Weekend Odds and Ends

I can't stop the news, I can only hope to contain it. Here it is...

Osama bin Laden releases latest video podcast; sounds like a crazy libertarian.

'08 candidate news! Robert Greenwald takes on Rudy Guiliani. A grassroots liberal group looks at Hillary's deceiving Iraq rhetoric. And John Edwards discusses counter-terrorism.

The Dept. of Homeland Security, however, remains a total disaster.

The California state legislature has "approved a measure giving same-sex couples the right to marry." The Governator is expected to veto it (again). This is why we turn to the courts.

The economic naysayers shit on our parade again with more pesky bad news: "For the first time in four years, employers have cut jobs, raising new fears that a deep housing slump and a painful credit crunch could push the economy into a recession."

Finally, Al Gore sums up Bush-outrage fatigue: "Not much surprises me anymore. I have a lot of friends who share the following problem with me: Our sense of outrage is so saturated that when a new outrage occurs, we have to download some existing outrage into an external hard drive in order to make room for a new outrage."
