I'm a little concerned about this item indicating that the White House thinks the trigger is "more progressive" than the opt-out. Okeedokee. But again, this is from an anonymous source to NBC's Mark...

The Missiles of November
The president's apparent rejection of all Afghanistan strategies reminds me of Kennedy's reaction to the various proposals for escalating against Cuba during the 1962 missile crisis. I hasten to...
No Government Wood
Digby doesn't want government money paying for Viagra and other ED medications. It's worth noting that up until 2007, Medicare covered Viagra. So the days of government wood are over. But if a woman...

No Age - "Losing Feeling"
WTF?
This is such a weird exchange. O'Reilly doesn't know the phrase "the public option?" That'd be like saying, "Afghoober-whatever" instead of "Afghanistan." Did he have a stroke or is he just playing...
