Don't Drink and Punditize

You might forget whether or not there were any oil spills during recent hurricanes. Trent Lott became the latest in a long line of ignorant or lying, you guessed it, republican politicians, to claim there were no oil spills in the gulf during hurricanes Rita and Katrina. Here, here, and here. If you follow the links in the posts, the evidence seems quite overwhelming that they are wrong.

Who's fault is it anyway

It wasn't that long ago that there was an effort to pin the blame for the rush to war in Iraq on Congress and absolve the executive from any responsibility. After all, we all know GW is a man of peace, who is not anxious for wars. Now a new line of buck passing is getting airplay, namely that 9/11 was Clinton's fault. I hope that guy knows that the TV movie 'Path to 9/11' was a dramatization, as they say in the commercials. It's ironic that on the same day someone else had a different story to tell. I'll let you be the judge of which argument seems better thought out.
