Late yesterday, Republican Dino Rossi requested a revote in the Washington Governor's race. Democrat Christine Gregoire currently has a highly suspect 129 vote lead. There's a lot to read over at Sound Politics. However, I would like to highlight two posts. First, this one by a voter who didn't get her vote counted -- and […]
Minneapolis Star-Tribune columnist Nick Coleman apparently went off his medication when he wrote this rant against the Powerline bloggers. Instapundit has a roundup of links, but old axiom about having a battle of wit with an unarmed man comes to mind. Maureen Dowd won a Pulitzer Prize.

It's readily apparent that the only person Sanders dislikes more than President Bush is Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Most of the piece is the standard […]
The pro-west opposition candidate in Ukraine, Viktor Yuschenko appears to have won the latest, valid election for president in that country. Michael Ledeen has a few things to say in light of this development. For those of us who have long preached the power of democratic revolution, it's a happy day, and I hope that […]
