More Odds and Ends

Sens. Obama and Clinton debate tonight. But 'Lost' is back! What to do!? Here's news...

The remaining Republicans debated last night. Spoiler alert! They still love Ronald Reagan.

There just isn't enough space here or anywhere to document the contempt George W. Bush has for the Constitution he swore to uphold. His latest signing statement asserts that he can use funds to create permanent U.S. bases in Iraq... despite express prohibition against this very act in the funding bill. If we had an actual Congress, this would be, you know, a big fucking deal.

PS, the troops are never coming home.

For all those concerned about the ethical conflicts of interest in the Bush administration (the energy task force, Halliburton in Iraq), this story about Bill Clinton, his Canadian mining financier friend, and Khazakhstan's dictator leader should give voters pause going in to Tuesday's primary.

Finally, Glenn Greenwald has a good/depressing post on what 'bipartisanship' means in DC.
