One comment on McClellan's book: I have no doubt that the Bush Admin, like all admins, had and has many flaws and unpleasant secrets. However, most peoples' consciences would prevent them from airing the dirty laundry of their friends and benefactors - and I do mean benefactors, because McClellan was the lamest WH press sec I have ever seen. He made Bush sound articulate. Still, thank God for a free country where people are free to publish such things.

Rocky, Bullwinkle, and Me. A good rant. A quote:
I feel like Rip van Winkle. I wake up, and the conservatives are just as fond of passing laws and restricting liberty and intruding where it’s none of their business as the liberals.
Dems would be better off with Hillary. I think so too. Jennifer Rubin at Pajamas discusses the electoral challenges Obama faces, beginning:
It is no secret: Barack Obama’s near-nomination rests largely on a coalition of African Americans, high income voters, young people and self-described “very liberal” Democrats. These voters have consistently turned out in primary races, giving him a majority of the pledged delegates (if you don’t count Michigan and Florida). Many pundits, joined by Hillary Clinton, have focused on the absence of white voters in Obama’s coalition.
The numbers are striking.
