daft constitution

* "Pat Robertson, host of Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club and founder of the Christian Coalition of America, called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez." (link) his logic is that itll save us having to invade...

* theres a long article on abramoff here. the guest blogger over at tpm says: "Later today or tomorrow we'll look at a question that has largely slipped through the media cracks about Abramoff, Tom DeLay, and potential Russian arms dealers." (link)
lobbying and arms trafficking - sounds like what sibel has been talking about...

* billmon tries to unpick why the AbleDanger story got some play. "Then again, maybe this was really about tagging Hillary Clinton with the soft-on-terrorism label -- after all, she was married to the guy who appointed the woman who hired the woman who wrote the memo that is now being mischaracterized as the reason that the Pentagon didn't give the information about Mohamed Atta that it now says it didn't have to the FBI. What better evidence do you need of Hillary's unfitness to lead?"

* the iraqi constitution thing is a complete fucking debacle. the american media is screaming "woohoo - we have a draft constitution" - but nothing is further from the truth. idiots.
