Late Night Reading

The Ten Commandments by David Horsey. Via Avedon Carol.
Will the folks of Alabama be rational at the polls on September 9? Steven at Poliblogger reviews their options. Via Outside the Beltway.
A number of folks have commented on bush’s speach: Left I on the News, Answer, Bilmon, Idols of the Marketplaceand RonK at the Daily Kos. I’m sure there are many more. Read the speach, read the commentary, you decide.
Good Night!

“Yes. Oh yes.”
“A NEW CALL TARIFF THAT OFFERS-”
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh, oh, oh yes!”

See, it is quite possible to dispose of these creatures while maintaining an entirely positive attitude.>
