This N' That
I was away this past weekend but here are three recent postings of mine from another site.
More Family Values
Here's the kind of values the far right religionists want to bring to your state.
KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - A Missouri couple who must get married, or move, in order to comply with a housing ordinance in Black Jack, Missouri, sued the town on Thursday, claiming rules prohibiting the unmarried couple and their children from living together are unconstitutional.

Black Jack, a town of about 7,000 that prides itself on a city Web site for its "character and stability," refused to grant the couple and their children an occupancy permit for their home because they do not meet the definition of "family" as set forth by the city, the complaint alleges.

Conservatives Just Need Their Daddies
Others have posted about John Dean's new book on conservatives, Here's a piece of Glenn Greenwald's book review of Dean's latest. As you read this one paragraph, do you recognize yourself in the words??
"Dean contends, and amply documents, that the "conservative" movement has become, at its core, an authoritarian movement composed of those with a psychological and emotional need to follow a strong authority figure which provides them a sense of moral clarity and a feeling of individual power, the absence of which creates fear and insecurity in the individuals who crave it. By definition, its followers’ devotion to authority and the movement’s own power is supreme, thereby overriding the consciences of its individual members and removing any intellectual and moral limits on what will be justified in defense of their movement."
Bluester says: The "removing any intellectual and moral limits" seems uncannily on the mark, no?
That Crow Tastes Good
Big mouthed conservative pundits need to learn a lesson about what to expect in November. Do you think Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes like their crow broiled or deep fried?
The Weekly Standard, May 5th:
The other bit of comforting news comes from lefty blogger Markos Moulitsas. A recent poll from Quinnipiac put Sen. Joe Lieberman ahead of his super-liberal primary challenger, Ned Lamont, by some 40 points. A new Rasmussen poll says that Lieberman's lead is 20 points. Here comes the good news. Yesterday Moulitsas eagerly told his readers that Lamont is "within striking distance."
If the Democrats keep up that kind of wishful thinking, maybe they will find a way to lose what should be a big electoral victory for them in November.
Minipundit, May 2:
It's worth pointing out: Joe Lieberman is going to be a Senator from Connecticut at least until 2012. The polls are definitive. He's defeating his antiwar primary challenger, Ned Lamont, by 65% to 19%. Lamont can't possibly close a 46% gap. No candidate can.
Bluester: No candidate can but Ned Lamont did. Wake up neo-cons. America is now against the neo-con faith and the Bush presidency. There's a change coming.
