Thursday Roundup

(Places to go for interesting reading…)

Atrios/Think Progress have some good stuff on Bushco’s latest misadventures (“Operation Photo Op”…yeah, you’ll see Dubya in Tikrit one day – maybe airbrushed in a la “Wag The Dog”).

Brandoland pays tribute to Keith Olbermann “connecting the dots” between terror scares and unpopular goings on in with Bushco (what a treasure to have someone associated with a TV news organization WHO ACTUALLY HAS A BRAIN!).

Liberal Serving/Pandagon/Santorum Exposed are all over the latest fraud that Little Ricky’s minions tried to perpetrate (namely, that Bono and U2 were going to perform a benefit for the Senate Hypocrite in Philadelphia, which the band categorically denies).

The Hollywood Progressive Institute had a link yesterday to “Radar Online” about Bushco’s “ambiguously gay” administration that was amusing. They also had a story last Monday, as a follow up to a quote from Sen. Richard Lugar, about the bind we are in over this country’s ridiculous energy policy that isn’t funny at all (and Venezuela is now going to value its currency against the euro instead of the dollar – “reaping the whirlwind” indeed).

Update: I'm glad you can't see how red my face is for forgetting to point out that Atrios, Casey Morris at Democracy Cell Project (via Atrios) and The Daily Kos, among MANY other sites, are quite rightly trashing Richard Cohen for his recent column positing that Patrick Fitzgerald should just drop the investigation into the "outing" of Valerie Plame (establishing criminal activity versus intent regarding the whole thing is just too darn complicated, you see).

This is truly sad. I've respected Cohen's work in the past, but apparently, he has completely sold out. His credibility is totally shot at this point. He should just go shill for Faux News since his true colors have been revealed.
