Bi-Polar Nation
although the title of this op-ed suggests i will be making an unbiased analysis of the rise in american partisanship amongst both parties, i will actually use it to slander the entire liberal movement by using the extreme statements of fringe radicals and insinuating that said statements are representative of the Left in general.

Success On the High Seas
i have now passed so far into fantasy-land that i have begun looking to hollywood--which by the way is full of bleeding-heart, pinko, liberal scum who want to turn your kids into queers--for inspiration on iraq.

Op-Chart
A few main messages emerge. For starters, violence against coalition troops has increased as the occupation has lengthened and, in regard to the all-important objective of winning Iraqi hearts and minds, unemployment rates are still too high. However, most other trends are encouraging -- declining crime rates in Baghdad, increasing numbers of Iraqi police officers being trained, and telephone and water services at about 80 percent of pre-war levels. Once one accepts the premise that the United States and its partners are still at war in Iraq, and that the mission there is clearly the most challenging American military operation since the Vietnam War, the most accurate long-term outlook is one of guarded optimism. (emphasis added)
hey, wait a minute, someone forgot to tell this guy.

to snark or not to snark
tbogg can be pretty smart when he wants to be.
Getting back to Totten, my beef with him is his constant "the party is leaving me behind" mewling. He's so wrapped up in the war-war-kill-the-Islamofascists-before-they-destroy-my-way-of-life swill that the administration is selling that he's not only drinking it, he's having Sparkletts deliver it in five-gallon bottles. If he supports the war, fine. But while supporting the administration's foolhardy attempt at reshaping the Middle East, he is giving tacit approval to their assault on the environment, workers rights, and on a woman’s right to choose. He is allowing them to hand out huge tax cuts to the rich while impoverishing our children. He agrees with the insertion of government-sponsored Christianity into our secular society. He thinks packing the courts with Federalist Society judges is a good thing. (emphasis mine)
but wait, tbogg, didn't you get the memo: 9/11 changed everything.
