Question of the Day: Is time really on our side, or is Mick Jagger full of crap?

Robert Novak, favorite troll of neo-cons everywhere, is still toting water for George W. Bush, defending the president at every turn. Novak has now turned on the CIA and is accusing the spy agency of subversion of The Decider Guy. Our only question about Novak is why isn't he in jail?

Mark Karlin, Editor and Publisher, BuzzFlash.com, has an essay speculating on the Washington Post company getting out of the news business. A bit premature we think. Although some think the WaPo ceased providing news and investigating reporting some time ago, and is a mere repeater of talking points, there is still a little bit of money to be made for the corporation. Not to mention the ability to use the paper as a way of currying favor for whichever party is in power. Corporations do know how to take care of themselves after all.

When we saw the Blue Horizon title to a post at the conservative blog site Little Green Footballs, we first thought they were seeing the light. We thought it might be some insightful essay about next year's presidential campaign where some conservative way was speculating on a Democratic victory. You know, the whole blue state-red state nonsense. We were fooled.
