We already knew that the state by state red v blue maps show a large geographical area dominance by bush in the 2000 election but the county results are truly astounding. Check out the newly updated 2000 election results page at electoral-vote.com.

David must have been smoking some pretty heavy stuff to make this leap:
Took my kids to the multiplex on the weekend. The multiplex being in DC, close to half the theaters were showing Michael Moore’s pseudo-documentary. But that’s OK! Because the other half were showing the great pro-Bush movie of the summer: Spiderman 2.And in front of his kids too.
Pro-Bush? Well consider this. Spiderman 2 is the story of a hero who is regularly belittled and ridiculed by almost everyone who knows him. Fashionable society despises him; the press lampoons and attacks him. Fashionable society despises him; the press lampoons and attacks him. ….The good news is that the movie ends with a barrage of hints that Spidey will soon return for another term …..
I join Juan Non-Volokh in calling this a great summer movie and note that I still can’t come up with one thing from the movie that seems pro-bush.
However, Frum’s point that almost everyone who knows bush regularly belittles and ridicules him does have a ring of truth to it and perhaps Frum will expand on this jiucy bit of gossip in future articles.
Rick from Radically Inept had a bit of time to watch the marriage amendment debates on C-SPAN today. It was an educational experience:
Oh, I can’t resist this observation from C-SPAN today. I caught a few minutes of the senate debate on the ‘our government should define marraige in our contitution’ act. I got to see U.S. Senator Rick Santorum-Pennsylvania say that the `Federal Marriage Amendment’ had bi-partisan sponsorship because, get this, Senator Zell Miller, Democrat from Georgia is a co-sponsor. Which, as we all know, is the truth on the surface, but look at how his voting pattern rates.And santorum has actually sworn to uphold the Constitution. Yeccchh.
Oh, then Santorum made the idoitic statement “marriage as defined in the constitution.” I would have hoped that a senator, especially a republican senator, would have read the Constitution by now.
Do you writers need some fodder for your muse? If so, check out Found Photos as Radley is right:
You can’t help but wonder what stories led up the moment the pictures were snapped. Or what happened after.Heck, everyone should stop by. Just make sure you have some time to spare.
