1. The right wing of the GOP is in a dither over the nomination of Harriet Miers to the SCOTUS. Why? Are they voicing their opposition because she isn't extreme enough or was this vocal opposition listed on the 'talking points memo' from Karl Rove?
2. By putting Harriet Miers on the Supreme Court is the president stacking the court in case he has to go before the court? Now we are finding more evidence about some of Mier's beliefs on abortion and criminalizing gay sex. http://direland.typepad.com/direland/2005/10/miers_against_m.html
3. Tom DeLay is not going to escape these charges this time. There is just too much information with his name all over it. http://www.ftimes.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=29765&TM=30795.14

4. When will Ohio Rep. Bob Ney (18-R) get indicted? Ney was very close to DeLay and Abramoff. Charges against Ney could really hit the Ohio GOP, which is currently being accused of corruption. http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/1005/100405op.htm
"Take Ohio, for example, where scandals in the Republican-dominated state capital have already created a toxic political environment for the GOP. Reps. Steve Chabot (1st Congressional District), Michael Turner (3rd), Pat Tiberi (12th), Steven LaTourette (14th), and Deborah Pryce (15th) all occupy potentially vulnerable seats. Those five seats represent one-third of the GOP's margin in the House. And that list does not include Ohio's Bob Ney (18th), who could be hurt by ties to embattled lobbyist Jack Abramoff; or Ralph Regula (16th), who is only a little safer than the others."
5. Why is it necessary for the governor of California to own 5 Hummers? (I heard on TV that he owns 8 Hummers.)
6. As of this date, 1941 Americans have died in Bush's war in Iraq. We need to bring our troops home now. http://icasualties.org/oif/
7. Paul Hackett will announce that he will run as a DEMOCRATIC candidate for U.S. Senate!!!!!! Hurray!!!!

8. Why do all these righties get excited over Ann Coulter? They're pathetic. http://www.bradblog.com/archives/00001884.htm
