Sen. Rick Santorum gets attacked by Social Security gorilla.
  • Sen. Joseph Biden’s plan for Iraq.
  • Newspaper executives admit they must reinvent the wheel to survive.
  • China don’t mess around with its secrets.
  • The bizarre story of the day goes to: middle-school teacher suspended for displaying foreign flags in his classroom.
  • Are we the 21st century Rome? Empire building is good, right?
  • For some reason I have it in my head Bush is from Texas. I have no idea why. Anyway, he’s vacationing back home with pops in New England.
  • The State Department is investigating Israel’s breach of arms agreements.
  • Liberals to become extinct as conservatives out-breed them.
  • Democrats are clinging to Katrina rebuilding efforts, or lack thereof, in an election swing campaigning against the administration.
  • In his usual manner, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is pissed. Specifically, he’s pissed that nothing’s happening. Not in New York, not in New Orleans, apparently. But he says he’s doing a better job than New York. I live nearby and I haven’t seen them do a single thing at the WTC site in 4 months. I’d say he’s right. And I still really want to see that Spike Lee film.
  • Pub owners are complaining about the smoking ban in Edinburgh. What are you going to do?
  • Jeff Sachs says the best way to win in the middle east is to drop the “us vs. them” ideology. Probably a good start.
  • Warrantless wiretapping would have prevented 9/11, according to Rove.
  • No scary intelligence for the elections this November, please.
  • Muslim and Arab men see a decline in earnings after 9/11.
  • Everyone seems to be discussing American foreign policy, so we can either just sit back and enjoy, or we can post something substantial. Maybe next week. Until then, read this article.
  • Why doesn’t Lieberman just switch parties? He’d probably get more support.
  • As Sen. Hagel was sounding off about Iraq last week, another Republican, this time Rep. Says, is calling for a timetable for a pullout.
  • And for our ridiculous post of the day: GOP push to kill Science for good.
  • We will be bringing you our first roundtable post on Monday morning.

    See you Monday…
