A very interesting Slate editorial on how the Democrats might make their positions cohere into one simple concept.

A Kos post from a few days ago explaining a likely terrorist agenda.

am curious.

you postition posting short political content as it could be construed as a bad thing. why?

That Kos post is pretty scary on a bunch of levels. Can we chain Bush to a chair and make him think about it? Nevermind, it's not clear that we can chain Bush to a chair and make him think.

It's interesting to ponder churches as potential targets. On the one hand, part of what made the 9/11 attacks so horrifying was the sheer number of casualties. I can't imagine a church big enough to sustain that. But maybe a co-ordinated attach on several churches?

I wonder if that would polarize the country even further. At least attacking NYC created something that both urban and suburban/rural residents could fear equally.

Ugh. I probably just got myself on a CIA hit list just by typing this.

dealing gladly. :)

that's an excellent kos post overall, but for some reason i can't put my finger on, i don't think the target is likely. huh. gotta ponder.

i also think it will be a while until another major attack on US soil, but much depends on what happens in iraq and palestine (now that arafat is dead).

I interpreted that as, "okay, there's too much political stuff lately, but this one's short, so deal."

More than one person on my reading list is dropping folks for talking politics "too much", and others have complained about it. If anything I am more likely to do it now, because we have to find and use new strategies if we're not to get completely fucked over by rich, well-organized super-right-wing bastards.
