In the wake of the death of Dr. James Kennedy, Shockwave at My Left Wing has an eye-opener that you must read about how the Dominionist Christianity of the Coral Ridge Ministries has become the de facto officially sanctioned religion of the United States military via the Armed Forces Network.

Sean-Paul Kelley has had quite enough of Hillary Clinton's triangulating, thank you very much.

Mike Rogers has had enough of closeted, anti-gay politicians, thank you very much -- whether Sean Hannity likes it or not.

If you weren't sick about it already, Maha has a roundup of George Bush's embarrassing gaffes, stupidity, and just plain bad taste at the OPEC -- I mean APEC -- conference in Australia. Those bumper stickers reading "Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing its idiot" were never more true.

John Dean (yes, THAT John Dean) discussions conservative authoritarianism at The Smirking Chimp.

Brad Friedman on the wrangling over HR 811.
