Headlines: Various & Sundry
Stuff that caught my eye this fine Wednesday morning...
++ The extremely conservative Weekly Standard magazine has a cover story on Jon Tester, Democrat running for Senate in Montana.
++ Michael J Fox responds to Limbaugh smear, in a really dignified and restrained way. Good on him.
++ NYT editorial on Trying to contain the Iraq disaster.
++ U.S. says more GIs may be needed in Iraq.
++ From the Boston Globe: "A recent study showing inequalities between minorities and whites in California when it comes to surgeries adds to mounting evidence of the racial disparity in health care."
++ Academics forecast Dems will retake the House, make gains in Senate.
++ I meant to link to this yesterday: Some voting machines chop off candidates' names in Virginia. Supposedly this only happens to candidates with "long names" like... JAMES WEBB. Uh, that's a long name? What the fuck?!?
++ LA Times: Democrats' Senate hopes lie with rural voters, according to a new poll.
++ Also in that LA Times article: Jim Webb leads Allen by 3 points. Eeeeee.
++ This article from yesterday's USA Today warmed my cold, cynical black heart: Generation Y gets involved. Whoo!
++ GOP ad plays the race card in Tennessee. Ugh.
++ Rigging gas prices for the election.
++ Finally, Bush says he uses "the Google" - which he finds on the Internets, of course. Heh.
