Killian Me Softly (…Or: The Rebuttal to the Attack of the Defense of the Original Charge)

Bad Penny: In Which the Missing Secretary of State (Once Again) Shows Up To Convey A (False) Sense of Moderation And To Take (More) Bullets For Guys He Doesn’t Like Very Much

Colin had a very productive weekend on the t.v. talk shows. He covered all the bases, including Iraq (It’s going to be great after we somehow eradicate those Shiites and Sunnis occupying half the country); WMD (There weren’t any, but what does it matter?); Avoiding Vietnam through family connections...

“We Worked It Out With The Military”

It’s quite possible we will look back on this week as the turning point in the cover-up of George Bush’s military record. As the article in today’s NYTimes elaborates, confirmatory evidence has emerged which indicates Bush not only lied about the use of family influence, but also whether he...
