For Your Consideration

Joe Carter explains why he's a reluctant Republican that makes a lot of sense. So much sense that for I don't consider myself a Republican at all, just someone who often votes for Republican candidates. I've voted for Democrats, Libertarians, Independents - in short, who I thought the best candidate was in that election. And in doing so, Joe brings up a good point about Pat Robertson, namely, Pat doesn't represent me as an evangelical. The media is constantly turning to people like Pat to represent particular groups, and typically they pick the person who best represents the caraciture they have of that group, which is why a bozo like Robertson is draped around the vangelical neck.

Dodd has two good posts - one comparing the sex life and the overall health of Democrats and Republicans and the other about the continuing misrepresentation of comments about Judge Owen by Judge Gonzales by those elite newspapers, the NYT and the WaPo.

Speaking of elite newspapers, the St. Louis Post Dispatch had a fun front page this morning, what with the old fraud Bill Moyers foaming that mouth over the right wing with statements like:"That's because the one thing they loath more than liberals is the truth. And the quickest way to be damned by them as liberal is to tell the truth." I call Mr. Moyers a fraud because he claims to be a journalist telling the truth but he's really just a left wing activists who lies pretending to be a journalist. He was speaking at an event here in St. Louis call the Conference for Media Reform, and seeing as how he received several standing O's according to the article, I doubt the conference will have any positive effects.

But next to that article was one where NEWSWEEK admits that, so sorry, they just don't have a shred of support for their claim that interrogators at Gitmo desecrated Korans. Somedays the Post is priceless, in ways I doubt intended.
