Now I have something to call myself, since 'netroots' means 'douchebag'

Barack Obama said that his wife Michelle's comments about a president requiring a strong family were not aimed at Hillary Clinton. And Bill never cheated on her, either.

Hugh Hewitt was right: the large number of terrorists and killed and captured in Iraq was not the headline or lead following President Bush's speech at the VFW Conference in Kansas City. It was a pretty safe prediction, though.

The Kurds of northern Iraq have been threatened with "cleansing" by Iran. I don't know if a federalist partition along ethnic lines would benefit the Kurds or leave them more exposed to attacks from their Muslim neighbors.

The History Channel tells 9/11 conspiracy theorists (that means you, Rosie O'Donnell) that they are wrong, always have been wrong, and always will be wrong.

I guess Town Hall has been reading my stuff: they also are reminding you that a higher tax rate does not result in higher revenue.

Newsweek reports that Bill Clinton never actually authorized the CIA to kill Osama bin Laden. Whoops. While this looks bad, since Clinton lied about it and all, I agree with Captain Ed that it makes little sense to treat this as a partisan issue. In fact, I almost never understand the idea of making a partisan debate out of any national security issue.

Way back when, Jonah Goldberg says, Republicans were said to rule the web. Now, folks are saying, Dems are in charge. Like everything else in politics, enthusiasm is cyclical on the internet. Except on this blog, where I'm always enthusiastic.
And on that note: welcome to the web, Rightroots.

I used to be of the opinion that Chiefs fans were some of the smartest in the league. Support for career backup Damon Huard to win the starting QB position, however, has me rethinking that. Fortunately, it looks like second-year player Brodie Croyle will win the role. Which is fine, because I don't see the Chiefs being that good this year anyway. It's a power-running team with an offensive line that just keeps getting worse. Might as well get Croyle ready for next year, when they could possibly compete. Although with Herm Edwards in charge, what they would be competing for is likely a 10-6 regular season and a first-round playoff loss.

Call them the Al Gore, Jr., all stars: deadbeat relatives of famous people. And what do you know, Bill Clinton even pardoned one of them.

Travis Green's last wish was to be in a movie. The result is The Boy Who Everyone Loved and Who Never Died. Until he did, because he had cancer.
