Well, folks, we've got a big edition for you, so grab a beer and settle in. A whole gaggle of retired generals is up in arms about the Gonzales nomination, a spectrum of economic news comes out and is pretty much, well, all bad and the Social Security "debate" is starting to swell. A desert wilderness is under attack and we bring readers the skinny on how all that came to pass while forests are under a similar assault in California. Christian "missionaries" bargain for salvation in India and more conservative hacks are exposed as White House sycophants, so no news there. A couple toss-off items and then you might want to share that beer you're drinking with Dick Cheney. He looks like he could use it.
