The crap waters continue to fill with Republicans jumping off the Bush Iraq War boat to nowhere.
Republican Rep. Christopher Shays is now calling for troop withdrawal from Iraq. The one time fervent supporter is changing his mind due to his likely defeat in the November election. Diane Farrell is his Democratic challenger. The war is not popular in Connecticut or anywhere else.
Shay flip flops
Meanwhile George Bush is doing something he is incredibly good at. He is on vacation. It is estimated that out of the past 6 years in office, he has taken more than 1 year in vacation. One would think that the "War on Terror" would demand a tiny bit more attention from the leader of the free world. Considering those like Newt Gingrich refer to the period we are in as "World War III", one wonders how these people can look each other straight in the eye. Apparently "World War III" is not as pressing as previous world wars, it has lot of downtime.
Bush goes fishing
How does an advanced country like the US remove evolutionary biology from its list of approved federal grants. Quite simple. You elect an administration that does not believe in evolution. Contrary to all science, the Bush administration not only will go it alone into war, but will go it alone into science. The curious thing is that people confuse utter ignorance with firmness of mind.
De e-vo-lu-tion
Finally this is a must read article by John Dean on the rise of Christian Nationalism.
