A local instance of corporate welfare; "the shareholders, the poor shareholders!"
Sully underlines the fact that in building Log Cabin Republicans, many a dumb fucking stump is left in the ground to suddenly observe what is, after all, an over thirty-year-old phenomenon:
History has come full circle, hasn't it? The Dixiecrats meet again in New York. Now they're called Republicans.
uggabugga has an excellent diagram up clarifying the tangled mess involved in all the recent (Israeli spying, Plame, Niger documents) scandals. Props to uggbugga for dissecting the reptilian Pentagon clusterfuck.

The WSJ profiles the coterie of jackasses selected to cover the RNC convention. Evidently they saved the "best" for last for at the bottom lies Tacitus, Roy Edroso's description of whom is right-on:
