If the trends continue, this is Lieberman's last hurrah tour. The Senate will be much more blue in '08 (though it's doubtful Dems will get the veto-proof majority they'd love to have), and it's likely (though not certain) that the White House will be blue.

Lieberman's waffling and wavering becomes irrelevant at that point, and it is no longer incumbent on the Dems to give this turncoat any committee assignments. Lieberman will return to Connecticut in 2012 as a man who has greatly reduced the state's influence in national politics.

Let him bray and whine now. In 18 months, CFL Joe will be a very short footnote to a terrible era in American politics.

I seem to have accidentally stumbled on a page from 1994. Tina Brown, Princess Di, what the heck? Could you please flush your cache and update the site? Thanks.

When he was pelted with rocks and eggs by the crowds than Bush is in Europe now.

It's astounding we've let this fool run our country for 6 years. The Electorate, the 2000 Supreme Court, and the Democrats in Congress have much to be ashamed of for letting him set the agenda.

I've flown primarily out of there for 30+ years and always find it an easy time, though filled with long walks. As for the food being bad? It's an airport. The food is just about as good or bad as any other airport in the nation.

You want lousy - how about Atlanta? I can't stand that place. Confusing signage, walks so long that overcrowded people-movers are in place and frequent gate changes make it a pain in the rear.

Can we just cancel any game at Camden where the organist and crowd start the Star Spangled Banner with "Oooooooooooooooooooooh say can you see?" It's annoying and disrespectful.

Great column. It's also an example of the culture being lost to the endless extension of copyright to protect Mickey Mouse.

Truly a b.s. poll. What the heck is a folksonomy? I'm getting older, sure, but I know what a LOLrus is and I've never heard of folksonomy.

You had it nailed when you said that in the time you waste browsing to the site, you could have asked someone or found one on your own.

If there's no one around to ask at all, there probably isn't a bathroom, either, unless you're in the backwoods, in which case, pull up a tree and have at it.

I'm glad there are people like Farhad out there to buy the buggy crap that most 1.0 technical products are. I'm also glad I'm not stupid enough to join him.

I'll but the iPhone 2.5 or it's competitor once I can get one on a good network with the kinks worked out.

If you read Cindy Sheehan's announcement diary on DailyKos today, you'll see she repeats a number of Right-Wing talking points about the Dems being the party of slavery, starting all the wars of the 20th Century save the Gulf War, calls the Income Tax unconstitutional, denounces the creation of the Federal Reserve and generally outfits herself for a big old tinfoil hat.

It's sad to see someone who was so effective in taking a rogue president to task descend into this sort of madness and flummery.

Truth is the surge and clear hold build strategy have been successful in some small local areas. It's a good strategy if your goal is to calm the country down.

The problem is that we don't have enough troops to do it for the country as a whole, and without securing the country as a whole, the unstable sections will spread their instability to the ones that are stabilized.

We have about 150,000 troops more or less in country now. To do it right and actually "win" the war, we'd need something north of half a million troops, maybe as many as 700,000. We don't have that many to send and a draft to shore up the numbers isn't coming.

So I can understand how some people can say the surge is working if they don't understand the overall challenge of controlling a country the size and population of Iraq.

You're absolutely right that we had no business invading the country.

Unfortunately that ship has sailed, sunk, and is rotting on the ocean floor. I was more addressing the practicality of the tactics, not the morality or non-military strategy of the surge.

What writers and readers object to is when editors take it on themselves to moderate the tone or make substantive changes to a piece. This is why blogging is popular. There are no editors "softening the edges" or "toning down the vitriol" or screwing with what the blogger wants to say.

Correct our punctuation and assist us with grammatical errors, but stay our of the content. If you want to make a statement, don't be an editor, be a writer.

Available Energy is not decreasing. Available fossil fuels may be decreasing, but we haven't even begun to harness the energy available as a side-effect of our planet's rotation. Wind and tidal energy are enormous opportunities as are solar and geothermal.

Tunnel vision in energy policy is the problem, not available energy.

It wasn't Matt Drudge who raised the question of whether Obama was black enough, it was Debra J. Dickerson in your own publication.
