what are your guys thoughts on Alito?

Martin, the R.P. has style, doesn't he?

IMO Alito did what he had to do at the hearings. I think Kerry's posturing now is dumb. What is he trying to do, pay some deathbed homage to Kennedy or something? I would have preferred to have seen Kerry put a little more energy and creative thinking into his actual Presidential campaign than this publicity-seeking BS now. This is more lame Democratic poltics if you ask me, and I'm a lifelong Democrat.

I think Roberts is a lot more of a snake than Alito. I think Alito is a what you see is what you get type - he's a good choice for the Republicans. Miers was beyond a joke, and a perfect reflection of the non-thinking style of GWB.

What about you?

wow, didn't expect kind of response from you, although admittedly I have not followed the Alito/Roberts thing as closely as I should have. Agreed about Miers.

one other thing I wanted to mention. I read the NYTimes paper online a LOT, especially the OP-ED section (daily without fail). I started to notice a huge swing in its voracity against the current administration just after the whole Judy Miller affair. Don't know if the timing was coincidental or if the NYTimes just happened to find a backbone, but it's good to see them writing full critique articles without letting the president get a free pass.

Also, it's strange, but this article has been at the top of the front page for a day and a half:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/29/science/earth/29climate.html?
Climate Expert Says NASA Tried to Silence Him

could be a slow news cycle, but it sure is oddly suspicious. Looking forward to the State of the Union (at least I think I am).

didn't finish reading yet, but looks like good read:

Palace Revolt

They were loyal conservatives, and Bush appointees. They fought a quiet battle to rein in the president's power in the war on terror. And they paid a price for it. A NEWSWEEK investigation.

Looks very good. I was looking through Paul O'Neill's book the other day. Imagine the extent to which this stuff must be going on all the time.

Interesting point about the shift in the Times. Sometime, probably not for a while, we're going to get perspective on the way that 9/11 created ambuiguity in the political landscape, and the size of the bulldozer that Bush drove through it.

I'm curious about the speech too, but find it real difficult to stomach. You have to disengage before you watch it or your reactions force yoiu away from it.

on one hand, it is the State of the Union, on the other hand it is the Knicks. But the Knicks suck, and yet Kobe may go off for 100 points.

DVR one, watch the other I guess.

I'm sure you guys have heard of Tecumseh's curse or zero year curse. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tecumseh%27s_curse) Thats another reason I want Bush's term to be over. I hate the guy but I dont want anything bad happening.
