An interesting article at Slate on a Bush concession in his State of the Union that progressives have called requested for two decades and is gettin goverlooked.

It would be interesting if the next two years sees push successfully pushing some of his more moderate positions that wouldn't have survived a Republican congress.

Also could give the Republican candidates some wiggle room for 2008.

I think that proposal with a kernel of merit got lost in the feeling that his particular SotU laundry list was just a waste of air, i.e., stuff that seemed (for Bush) to come out of nowhere - with zero commitment on his part for any of it. At least that's how it appeared to me.

There were a couple of other ideas in there that seemed decent, but it all seemed so throw-away. The one big issue that, going in, Bush seemed to have in common with a Democratic Congress was immigration reform. Was there any mention of that? I tuned out halfway through.

Yes, there was. Of course, unlike on energy policy, the Democrat (and George Bush) approach to immigration reform is one with which I strongly disagree.

But now all congress has to do it pass CAFE reform and Bush is pretty much committed to signing it.

testing, one, two, testing ....

Not only do women have the right to control everything within the confines of their bodies, a fetus is no more alive than is fire.

Of course, by the time this election for the next President rolls around Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince will be on its' way to theaters

I was going somewhere with this but my brain just froze

How dare you sir! How dare you imply that fire is not alive! Fire is alive. It dances, it glows, it moves. How dare you!
