From WorldNetDaily, take it for what it’s worth:
Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore will appeal his removal from office by next Wednesday, he said in an interview with WorldNetDaily.
Sooner or later you’d think these Moore supporters will wake up to the fact that this is all about Roy Moore, not the ten commandments.
President Bush spoke today while signing the so-called “Healthy Forest Restoration Act.” Here’s an excerpt (emphasis added). [Bush decoder: forest stewards=logging companies]:
This Act of Congress sets the right priorities for the management of our nation’s forests, focusing on woodlands that are closest to communities and on places where the risk to wildlife and the environment is the greatest. It enforces high standards of stewardship so that we can ensure that we’re returning our forests to more natural conditions and maintaining a full range of forest types. It enables collaboration between community groups and private stewardship organizations and all levels of government before projects are chosen. This law will not prevent every fire, but it is an important step forward, a vital step to make sure we do our duty to protect our nation’s forests.
Returning our forests to more natural conditions? By chopping the big trees down?
Let me guess–nothing enhances the beauty of pristine tundra quite like oil derricks, nor does anything add to the glow of a summer sunset glow quite like a billowing smokestack.
Josh Marshall has a copy of Terry McAuliffe’s letter to Attorney General John Ashcroft requesting an investigation of the Rep. Nick Smith bribery allegations.
McAuliffe closes his letter with the following paragraph:
Mr. Attorney General, your repeated unwillingness to uphold the law is creating a wild west atmosphere in the Capitol where rules and regulations mean nothing. Republican officeholders feel free to openly and repeatedly break the law. It is disgraceful that you have allowed your inaction to foster this kind of atmosphere. I am asking once again, that you put upholding the law ahead of partisanship and investigate this matter.
That’s both sad (because it’s true) and funny. Unfortunately, I’m not sure that attempting to invoke a sense of shame will do any good.

First there was Link/Site MeterGate, now I find I am joined with the forces of “abject failure.”
Is Rocky Top Brigade membership worth its price?
Gold prices have been on the rise since 2001, and they are approaching levels not seen since 1996.
Will the run continue?
