- Peter Bergen is CNN’s terrorism analyst and wrote an account of bin Laden and al Qaeda that even the National Review Book Service calls “definitive” and “essential reading“. In light of Dubya’s assertions that “the American people are safer” because of the Iraq war, check out Bergen’s recent article about the impact of the war on American safety. And check out Juan Cole’s devastating response to Dubya’s speech.
- The Center for American Progress exposes Ashcroft’s bs propaganda regarding the Patriot Act. By the way, go sign the petition.
- There’s thousands of them, but here’s Ten Reasons to Fire George W. Bush. (Via The War in Context). Sadly, I agree as much with Reason 10 as the others.
- Why is the Dakota Alliance of Blogs (aka “the circle jerk bloggers”) so fascinated with whether Tom Daschle hugged Michael Moore (an issue they term “Hug Gate”)?

Q: Why is the Dakota Alliance of Blogs (aka “the circle jerk bloggers”) so fascinated with whether Tom Daschle hugged Michael Moore (an issue they term “Hug Gate”)?
A: They are morbidly afraid of man-to-man contact, thus their rabid support for the Hate Amendment.
my favorite thing about the whole fahrenheit 911/daschle/circle jerk blogger deal is that they were all having a fit about how like, daschle is this super pooper liberal dude who loves moore; trying to tie the movie to daschle and all that. then, one of them saw it and realized what an unflattering light daschle is portrayed in and said this meant he wouldn’t keep his post as minority leader if he’s re-elected. hahaha, WHAT?
they get so worked up about this stuff that doesn’t matter, and then they get mad at the argus for not reporting things THAT DON’T MATTER.
