Thursday Roundup

It looks like tomorrow is the day of decision for Willow Grove Air Base (not holding out much hope, to be honest, knowing Bushco as we do…maybe we’ll be pleasantly surprised). Also, Connecticut has had a good week between challenging “No Child Left Behind” and saving the New London submarine base…congrats to them.

Marie Cocco sized up John Roberts pretty well in her most recent column, I thought (how could we have expected anything different, and what a tool to tell Reagan not to appoint Sandra Day O’Connor, by the way).

Interesting stuff at The Chimp today, comparing the U.S. with Great Britain at the height of its power (here)…Molly Ivins on Karl Rove and Plame-gate…Cenk Uygur (who is rising fast up my list of fave columnists) weighs in on Bush’s approval rating vs. Clinton (and Nixon’s while Watergate was raging, interestingly enough)…and finally, this details something in the “No Child Left Behind” scam that may be too far “under the radar” to get noticed, so I’m pointing it out here (Salasin should check on former Defense Secretary William Cohen, because if he even served in the military at all, I’m sure he wasn’t a general).
