Did the bloggers matter in the end? Are the Dems more conservative? Did Republicans lose on the war? TIME separates fact from fiction:
MYTH: Joe Lieberman’s victory proves the netroots don’t matter.
REALITY: The netroots had some key victories.
MYTH: Democrats won because they carefully recruited more conservative candidates.
REALITY: Democrats won because their candidates were conservative about their [...]

I haven’t read a lot of Anna Quindlen’s stuff, but of what I have read of hers, I usually don’t agree with her much. Well, I found a topic that I agree with her on. It is the bureaucratic ineptitude of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
I recently participated in a computer training course [...]

Let’s play a game.  Pretend you have to put someone in a position responsible for:
$283 million in annual family-planning grants that, according to HHS, are “designed to provide access to contraceptive supplies and information to all who want and need them with priority given to low-income persons.”
Obviously you would look for someone with experience in [...]

Duh, how obvious. If you really do think liberals are bent on destroying this country and you really are a truly patriotic American, then you owe it to your country and your children to get a job as A Campus Cop at UCLA!
How perfect. You don’t have to pass any intelligence tests, no training, [...]

Thanks Norm

I’m copying almost all of Atrios’ comment since it seems to hit the nail on the head. 
George Bush is in charge of foreign policy. George Bush is obsessed with staying in Iraq. George Bush equates leaving with losing. We can, as TNR seems to want to do, spend our days constructing magical pony plans for [...]

Help me out here. BYU student Bradly Ross has graciously risen to challenge certain assumtions he gleened from the Micheal Moore pledge I posted below.
I have meetings all day so I must defer to OneUtah readers and authors to help Bradly stay focused (was the too glib?). I repost his earnest response as follows: (which [...]

How many people are actually running for Salt Lake City mayor next year?
I’m a fan of Ralph Becker’s. I’ve voted him in every election since I moved into his district. He’s been an effective minority leader for the Dems on the Hill and he’s smart as hell. I’m not sold on [...]

The bit of relief I felt the morning after election day soon faded as Nancy Pelosi claimed again and again that impeachment was off the table. I was further dismayed by the posturing that I heard after election day,  that investigating the crimes of the Bush Administration by the new Democratic majority was a waste [...]
