Just a Couple Links
Beautiful sunny day out here in my fair DC suburb. I definitely can't spend all of it inside blogging today! At any rate, here's a couple links to start your Saturday with...
++ WaPo has a front page feature on if Nancy Pelosi becomes speaker.
++ PostGlobal asks panelists from around the world, "Do you think a Democratic Congress would be better for the world?".
++ AP: Sex scandals dominate midterm elections.
++ Top 10 reasons to vote for Jim Webb. They forgot #11 - "Because he's NOT GEORGE ALLEN, and that's good enough for me". Heh.
++ Watch this ad. I'm begging you. As Lowell says, "This ad could just as easily be for Jim Webb, who strongly supports embryonic stem cell research. George Allen, of course, strongly opposes it because he cares more about a clump of cells that will be destroyed anyway that people like Michael J. Fox." Word.
++ I cannot WAIT for this episode:
Anyone who thinks Hollywood is run by a liberal cabal won't change his mind after watching The Simpsons' annual Halloween special. The episode, which airs Nov. 5, concludes with an Iraq war satire that may rank as the most pointed political statement the show has ever made. In the segment, aliens invade Springfield to prevent mankind from obtaining "weapons of mass disintegration," but their mission, called "Operation Enduring Occupation," turns into a quagmire. "You said we would be greeted as liberators!" accuses one alien.
HEE.
++ According to a new Newsweek poll, Republicans are losing a big chunk of their base, and the Democrats are gaining ground. Woot.
++ WaPo talks about October Surprises.
