Can we count Tennessee as a blue state now?
Given President Bush’s falling approval ratings in Tennessee (34% vs. 42% a year ago), the unpopularity of the war in Iraq, and dissatisfaction with response to Hurricane Katrina, Tennessee – once solidly Republican – may be shifting toward the “blue” end of the spectrum. Also, in the fall of 2004 – when President Bush won handily – some 35% of Tennesseans identified themselves as Republicans, 29% as Democrats, and 23% as independents. This spring the results are 31% Republican, 33% Democrat, and 22% independent.

The only thing I can say here is that military hospitals have been in bad shape for a very long time. It really is a lot of people's faults - including CooCoo, maybe especially, since he started a war. Certainly he had the responsibility to see that things were being done well now, since he's responsible for all the wounded soldiers. It's not Clinton's fault, either, because it was already like that.

It took Byron York about 14 hours to get his talking points from the White House today:
The Libby Low Point [Byron York]
I have a new story on closing arguments at the Libby trial. It was a bizarre day, reaching a low point when prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald told the jury that Lewis Libby knew that pointing out Valerie Wilson's role in sending her husband to Africa was "something…that could lead to people being killed." The defense objected, because the judge had long ago told the jury that there would be no evidence presented about whether Mrs. Wilson's job status at the CIA was covert, classified, or other, and that jurors could not consider it in their deliberations. But Fitzgerald ignored the judge's prohibition and plowed ahead
Those of us who followed the arguments live no that no such "grand objection" occurred.

Not sure about this. Chronic VA care has always seemed to be for shits.You have to remember that the purpose of the VA is not for the veterans. It's to make the public feel good about veterans. How else to explain things like the Bonus Army? Hoover allowed MacArthur to use the military against veterans. And Posse comitatus was voided because the protests were in Washington, D.C., not one of the United States. Sound familiar?

btw, the government is really, really, run by morons.
'The Labor Department reported Wednesday that prices rose by 0.2 percent in January. That was down from a 0.4 percent rise in December, but it was higher than the 0.1 percent increase that Wall Street had been expecting.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food components, also was up more than analysts had been expecting, rising by 0.3 percent. It was the largest one-month gain in seven months.

Maybe Clinton didn't put a lot of money into building up the Vet hospitals. I hope he didn't put a lot of money into building up anti-Soviet forces on the Eastern front, either. It was called "the Peace dividend" as far I I recall.

Interesting tidbit from Variety. Good for Edwards...
"The aggressively photogenic John Edwards was cruising along, detailing his litany of liberal causes last week until, during question time, he invoked the "I" word -- Israel. Perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace, Edwards remarked, was the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. As a chill descended on the gathering, the Edwards event was brought to a polite close."

The current total of 7,100 would be reduced first to 5,500 and then to 5,000 by the end of the summer, the prime minister told parliament in a special statement on Iraq.
But he did not specify a time in 2008 when all UK troops would be withdrawn.

Speaking of Mitt, anyone know when Big Love is coming back to HBO?
If Mitt had three wives, I'd have more respect for him. I still wouldn't vote for him, but mo' respek.

But I'm sure they really, really like porridge.
GWPDA, yes, the freeze made the prices go up, but last I heard, apples and oranges are grown other places, too. And notice all the gas prices didn't start to rise until it got cold in the NE? Maybe twice as many homes in New England needed heat as in CA, but it seemd to me to be something of industry taking the opportunity to screw the customer.

Yes. Makes sense in an insane sort of way. After all, think of the wars those three started and the thousands and thousands of wounded veterans that had to be dealt with as a result of poor planning and incompetence.

Interesting tidbit from Variety. Good for Edwards...
"The aggressively photogenic John Edwards was cruising along, detailing his litany of liberal causes last week until, during question time, he invoked the "I" word -- Israel. Perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace, Edwards remarked, was the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. As a chill descended on the gathering, the Edwards event was brought to a polite close."

Sorry Richard, but if this is your attitude toward your job then you need to have a media watchdog keeping an eye on your work.

That's kind of funny because in the roundtable Wolffe made a point of dismissing bloggers for spending so much time discussing what reporters say rather than talking about all the other things there are to talk about.
