NPR and Michael Steele Tussle in Interview

Listening to Michael Steele (RNC chairman) try to explain how he doesn't support government run health care and then say he's for medicare is like listening to a person with multiple personality try to haggle over what to eat for dinner.

It is too funny. The republican party must be seriously thinking what the heck did they do by electing this guy. All flash and no substance.

Give it a listen.

Massechusets Senator Ted Kennedy Dead

Senator Ted Kennedy passed away last night, losing his battle with brain cancer. He served over 40 years as senator. He will be missed.

There Is A God

And his name will hopefully be Eric Holder. The Office of Professional Responsibility at the justice department has release a report stating that criminal investigations into torture should be reopened. (They were closed by Bush.)

From the NY Times:

"Mr. Holder, who questioned the thoroughness of previous inquiries by the Justice Department, is expected to announce within days his decision on whether to appoint a prosecutor to conduct a new investigation; in legal circles, it is believed to be highly likely that he will go forward with a fresh criminal inquiry."

He better or America is definitely doomed to repeat its past.

Update: And he did it. Eric Holder has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate torture. The only problem is that he has put limitations on the prosecutor. Allowing him/her to only go after the torturers. Which is unfair. The prosecutor also needs to go after the officials and lawyers who conjured up this whole mess to begin with.
