Article picks and comment burnout

Following up on my global warming-related blog post yesterday is a NYT story on the Bush administration, the justice system, and global warming: "Global warming goes to court".

Here is an interesting Sam Harris-David Prager religion debate on Richard Dawkins' website.

Here is Harper's informative and often entertaining Weekly Review.

Whew! I just spent a lot of time, energy, and writing via comments on a Daily Kos diary I posted, which is a revision an In Perspective post. I am the kind of person who likes to debate and write, but maybe I should stick to mostly writing my views on the blog and not a plethora of comments. I'm just not the type who can comment all the time because I think expanding my comment and blogging it as my own (instead of somewhere else) is more satisfying. I will take a break and maybe write some more later today.

29 Nov. UPDATE: I am still not feeling too well, I do not know what the matter is. Sorry all; browse the archives if you wish.

"Amnesty for illegal aliens" rewritten

I have written an edited, restructured, reworded, and updated version of this post on the granting of amnesty to illegal immigrants and posted it as my first diary entry on Daily Kos. See it here.

Kos prepping for '08 Senate races

Kos watch: 2008 Congressional elections, a 2 year head start...
Kos (of the Daily Kos) is already looking ahead — in depth — to the 2008 US elections, working his Kos-style political analytics like [almost as well as] Larry Sabato works his Crystal Ball.

Here are some extracts, read the post yourself for more details:

The 2006 Senate map was terrible for us. It's a testament to how bad things have gotten for the GOP that we were able to squeeze out six seats.

In any case, 2008 looks far, far different. If all goes well, we should be lining up for an absolute slaughter of the GOP. In two years, Republicans will be defending 21 seats, to 12 of our own.
