* glenn: "This Feingold Censure Resolution is unmasking the hideous underbelly of almost every Washington institution as vividly as anything that can be recalled. Each of the rotted Beltway branches is playing so true to form that the distinct forms of corruption and dishonesty which characterize each of them are standing nakedly revealed. As ugly of a sight as it is, it is highly instructive to watch it all unfold.... These events over the last 24 hour news cycle, by themselves, would be sufficient to teach a Civics class how our national political institutions work right now. That is the system which Sen. Feingold decided to disrupt, and few things need disruption more than this morass of dishonesty and principle-free corruption that permeates every single component of our national political life."

* "Jerry Falwell gets further and further out there. His latest knucklehead theory is that Jews and Muslims can't go to heaven." (link)
actually, i agree with falwell - although from a different starting point...

"There's been an interesting bit of editorial work at HuffPo. About 2 or 3 days ago they ran a piece announcing that some airline was incorporating technology so that soon passengers would be able to make cell phone calls while in flight. I gleefully scanned the 20 comments and, sure enough, there were all the 911 critics pointing out that cell phone calls from planes had ALREADY taken place on 911 (one of them from 35,000 feet travelling at 500 mph!). There were even links in the comments to the AK Dewdney experiment showing that cell phones calls above 8,000 feet have a next to zero chance of getting through, zip chance to be sustained for several minutes. All good clean conspiratorial fun.

So it is an interesting aside that 2 days later the story is no longer on the front page of Huffpo - nor anywhere in the archives."

we've seen this dance before...
