Dammit

I have a draft post that has been languishing for a week. Scalia mouthing off in Canada, etc.

For now, I just want to rush in two links (thanks to my girlfriend for both of them!) for the benefit of politically active people out there, specifically, devoted and loyal Republicans (many of whom, no doubt, read my blog). If you still think that this White House is not that bad, that there is no national crisis of government, please consider Andrew Sullivan's detailed "interrogation" analysis, as well as this more recent series on the Vice President. All this is nicely coming to a head, of course.

We have to get the Republicans and Democrats united behind some kind of program to cut off this rising authoritarian golem at the knees--either do that, or unite behind some kind of alternative to get it done. Isn't it about time we ditched the two-party system, anyway?
