American links
A music video to really annoy Dubya-haters with.
Polling suggests that Americans have become less convinced since 1996 that the US Federal government should promote moral values. US politics consists of two sides who periodically accuse the other of “not getting” the American Revolution and who are both correct.
Data on American public opinion collected during WWII. Analysis thereof.
The US enlisted largely reflect American attitudes, but their officers are more conserative.
About the CIA and its performance.
Kos versus TNR-who have humour on their side. Catching out Paul Krugman being economical with history again. With so much to criticise Dubya on, why lie? (Because he has to be irredeemably evil, of course.)
Some pointed thoughts about what ails the mainstream media: But what about the larger issue of stories that don’t get covered at all because of the unexamined assumptions of those who decide even counts as news?. And also: it is not in how stories are reported. It is in what stories are ignored and the editorial "values" implicit in those daily choices. The NYT confirms the problem.

More. How the Dems could do (much) better on Iraq. Expressing the dilemma that polls suggest a lot of Americans feel: Someone tell me please: what are sensible people to do? I can’t be the only one who feels trapped between the unprincipled and the psychotic. Predicting a Republican debacle. Polling suggests that the Dems will indeed save the Republicans from the electoral kicking they deserve come November. About the exhaustion of the Dems.
Hilary has a much higher No vote in a poll than the two Republican frontrunners. Jeb Bush’s No polling was even higher. Arguing for Al Gore as the Dems best bet in 08.
