Well, you be the judge…check out Dubya’s 9-11 timeline, and the story behind it. Very Gore-esque. (Via Genehack from awhile ago, but I neglected to post it earlier.)

No MJ for Bradley.
As many expected, Bill Bradley has removed himself from contention for the Torricelli slot. That’s a shame, but I guess he did retire for a reason.
Hey, wait a minute…
“The result of our attack [on Saddam] would be his using the very weapons we are trying to deter.” TNR profiles Senator Carl Levin, a lonely Democratic voice in the battle over Iraq.
Assist to Dollar Bill?
According to several sources, Torricelli has dropped out of the New Jersey race, complicating a Senate situation already fraught with peril for the Democrats. Could this pave the way for Bill Bradley‘s return to the political scene? Let’s hope so. To be honest, even Lautenberg, who’s pretty mediocre, would be an improvement over the Torch. Update: He’s officially out…no word yet on who’s in.
Dead Man Walking.
Further proof that only the good die young. See ya, Strom, and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. This piece mentions that he’s both the oldest and longest-serving Senator in American history. It neglects to mention his record for the longest filibuster (24 hours, 18 minutes), when he was trying to bury (and successfully diluted) the 1957 Civil Rights Act.
I’ll be back.
Arnold Schwarzenegger bides his time in the California Governor’s race.
It begins.
After Drudge’s report (linked yesterday), the Gorewatch heats up. Sigh. Maybe if I ignore it for awhile, it‘ll all go away.
Stating the Obvious.
Salon delves into the case of Noelle Bush before Florida’s courts. Who would’ve guessed that a Governor’s daughter would receive special treatment, or that GOP lawmakers would prescribe different rules for the masses than they would their own family members?
Oh no.
The Wheels Come Off.
FCC Chairman Powell prepares to gut the limits on broadcast ownership, meaning everything will soon be brought to you by AOL-TW, Viacom, and Rupert Murdoch. Bad call…reinstituting monopolies isn’t going to solve the crisis in telecom.
