Muppets Take Manhattan

The GOP is coming! The GOP is coming! Hide the women and social programs! So, here we go again. Some nice stuff to look at to prep for 4 straight nights of GOP.

Kinsley has the best takedown of Bush you will read all week.

Against a backdrop of great events, even a mediocrity can seem great for a while.

Republicans declare themselves the official party of the Guy Upstairs.

the acting state Republican chair--an African-American man in a white cowboy hat named Leon Mosley--urged his delegates, "Let's remember what's paramount in our life: God ... This is the GOP: God's Official Party." At that, the room burst into sustained applause. Behold, the Republican base.

Also in TNR Gregg Easterbrook asks

The United States invaded Iraq in order to depose Saddam Hussein and search for banned weapons. Hussein is now deposed, and no banned weapons were present. So why don't we leave?

Do you think this is a question that will be answered this week?
