So the conservative base is all for Miers, huh? Two thirds and more solidly back her? What part of the base, I want to know. Seems the moderates like Spectre and company are attacking her for lack of qualifications. Can't be that part of the base....hmmmmm....must be the freeper sector, then. Well we're finding out, because they are finding out! Freeper poll now is "Do you approve of Harriet Miers for Supreme Court?" Have a look at the vote - they simply don't know what to think! Freep Results Here Will our poll end up matching theirs.....?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government has begun testing a computerized screening system that compares airline passengers' names with those on terrorist watch lists, a Transportation Security Administration official said Thursday.
Called "Secure Flight," it's meant to replace a plan that never got to the testing stage because of criticism that it gave the government access to too much personal information.
Testing of Secure Flight began November 30. No announcement was made; TSA spokesman Justin Oberman disclosed its status when asked by The Associated Press.
The testing has not turned up any suspected terrorists. Oberman said the agency expects to wrap up the first phase of testing in a month.
"The technology is working, doing exactly what we wanted it to do," he said.

And CNN is there, even making sure the story has a link from the main page!

Washington (AP) -- President Bush attended a church service Sunday and then headed out on his mountain bike to ride in crisp, cool weather, getting in some exercise before attending a star-studded event at the Kennedy Center.
"Good morning everybody," Bush exclaimed to onlookers as he left the worship service at St. John's Episcopal Church, just across Lafayette Park from the White House. "Great to see ya."

I have seen this daily PrezObsess in the gutters of FreeRepublic, but from the AP? On the homepage of CNN?

I mean, I liked Clinton, but I'd have gotten sick at such daily propaganda, had I been misfortunate enough to stumble over it in the golden age. Now, with misery everywhere, it's just a bad joke blown up.

Which all means that I need a new homepage now. Kos needs a press team, NY Times is too slow with breaking news, and The Raw Story doesn't have enough sources (yet) to be the CounterDrudge. So what's a good homepage for world news? BBC? Pravda? The Onion? Any suggestions?

Orwell, slightly modified...

when Ol Dirty Bastard dies, but Dick Cheney emerges healthy.

"A statement was released Saturday evening by ODB's mother, Cherry Jones. "This evening I received a phone call that is every mother's worst dream," she said. "My son, Russell Jones, passed away. To the public, he was known as Ol' Dirty Bastard. To me, he was known as Rusty, the kindest and most generous soul on earth. I appreciate all the support I received."

Strange days, indeed.

So it has only been five days - four if you count the "concession" - and Allawi has already "declared" a state of emergency. Quotes, of course, because no one listens to him. Will they have a choice in the future? Any thoughts on if/when this state of emergency will be lifted?

Keep one eye on the warzones, one eye on who in the Iraqi "government" starts going over-the-top support of Allawi, and one eye always on the fascists.

Quick connection, don't really care about watching. Just listening. Any recommended sites?

"My opinion is that Kerry won style and presentation while Bush won substance. Since perception is the key to marketing it would be hard not to give the debate to Kerry. However, the public may need a few days for an opinion to stabilize and become static."

So the grumbling of the networks has turned into an outright balk - the networks refuse to agree to camera limitations hammered out by the candidates. Specifically, they insist on showing shots of both candidates during question time. As well, the moderators are refusing to sign on just yet (though PBS moderators have made no comment).

Good for them, and some preliminary and RARE kudos to Fox, who are handling the broadcast. Even if it's just a ploy for credibility, I am liking their means here.
