Earlier this week, I think a colonel in Iraq said we need to declare we've won and start pulling all our troops out now. I think the American military has had enough of the Iraqis and wants out......asap. I concur with their wishes. Bombs in Baghdad Kill at Least 29 nytimes.com

And Tampa is kick ass at dew point. Also the lightning capitol of the world (disputed by some city in Madagascar or somewhere; we may be second). Aw shucks......Seattle wanted to be the lightning capital very badly. As for dewpoint, I have had enough humidity this week to last me a life time. Every time you drink something something or eat something, you become a human sprinkler system......leaking water everywhere!

Andrew McCarthy Embarrasses National Review By David Weigel 7/30/09 2:56 PM He should, anyway. The conspiracy-minded attorney responds to the magazine’s measured denunciation of the “birther” movement with a 3,700-word rant about how his president “presents complex dual-citizenship issues” and how his magazine let the scoundrel off too easy. You could spend an entire afternoon picking this apart, starting with McCarthy’s decision to rely on “a blog called ‘Salt and Light’” and “the website Sweetness & Light” for crucial evidence, but I’ll focus on this bit: There’s speculation out there from the former CIA officer Larry Johnson — who is no right-winger and is convinced the president was born in Hawaii — that the full state records would probably show Obama was adopted by the Indonesian Muslim Lolo Soetoro and became formally known as “Barry Soetoro.” Larry Johnson is a once-influential, now-discredited blogger who blew his credibility last year after insisting, for weeks, that he knew “sources” who were holding onto a tape of “Michelle Obama railing against ‘whitey’ at Jeremiah Wright’s church.” Neither he nor McCarthy has any idea what he’s talking about. It’s quite sad. In 1962, National Review purged the John Birch Society from the conservative movement. In 2009, it sheepishly allows conspiracy theories onto the front page of its web site. washingtonindependent.com
