MotherJones -- Washington wasn't listening but Blair was

Nice discusion of the Washington disconnect, war-blogger hysterics, and the New Republic's support for war as atonement. I had that argument pulled on me two days ago, we should take care of Saddam because we created him - after time to think about it I decided it didn't wash. I might start to buy into it if Bush and company was making it, not before.

Mother Jones also has the a couple of the provisions snuck into the new spending bill, organic meat will no longer mean organic and the protection of crooked gun shops.
