Snark Attack
Do you hanker to mark Ralph Nader? An Internet group, votepair.org, is matching voters who favor Nader but fear tossing the election to Bush. It works by swapping a vote for Nader in a state where the Electoral College contest is one-sided -- say, Idaho -- with one for Kerry from a contested state such as Washington. Perhaps the most important effort by the group, however, is promoting true election reform, such as 1-2-3 elections (you pick your favorite, second-best, etc.) In that process no Nader vote would be left behind.

Rep. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch, is the state Democratic Party's Zell Miller -- minus the ranting unleashed by Miller at the GOP convention. How can you be any kind of Democrat when you endorse Republican Dino Rossi for governor? If Sheldon won't make the official leap to the GOP, Democrats ought to give him a shove.

The administration is bravely guarding our shores against the singer formerly known as Cat Stevens. Yusuf Islam met with officials of the White House office on faith-based initiatives in May. From friend to terrorist just since summer?

Tear this out, put it between two thin pieces of bread and send it to Richard Perle, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, so that he may literally eat his words.
On Sept. 22, 2003, the then Bush military policy adviser said: "A year from now I'd be surprised if there's not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush."
-- Thomas Shapley
