...initial debate on Iraq war resolutions last week, Lieberman was at it again. The notably mild Warner-Levin resolution of disapproval would "discourage our troops and hearten our enemies," he said. A day later, I asked Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska about politicians--not Lieberman specifically--who made such statements. "They're despicable," he said, in a decidedly unsenatorial tone. "Those sorts of statements are the last refuge of a scoundrel. They suggest a lack of patriotism on the part of people like me and John Warner and Carl Levin. They hurt our democracy...
...Good, The Bad & The Queen” is an album about being tired of it all, the Gorillaz equivalent of Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska.” The record is more than a side project but less than a new start for Gorillaz (and Blur) leadman Damon Albarn, who sounds unhappier than he did on Blur’s “13.” His guitarist, Simon Tong (formerly of the Verve), sounds almost exactly like Graham Coxon.

As many as 340,000 cattle in Colorado are at grave risk. The herds in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma will also be decimated - as will the region?s agricultural economy...
...since the November elections. Skepticism among Republicans about the President's thinking on Iraq has become reflexive. Over the past week, two Republican Senators, Richard Lugar of Indiana and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, indicated they were far from sold on the surge, and Chuck Hagel, a Vietnam veteran from Nebraska, called a surge "folly." A senior aide to a G.O.P. Senator told TIME that "requiring more troops without providing the goals or the message is a killer. It's a political killer...
