Alternet.Org is featuring an article by Greg Palast, The Screwing of Cynthia McKinney, which engages in outright lies and distortions about what McKinney did or did not say about the Bush administration’s prior knowledge about the 9/11 attacks.

Over the past couple months I’ve become addicted to one of the many Internet obsessions that I had until this year managed to avoid — EBay. Anyway, on the off chance that there is anybody reading this site who is as big of a gadget bag freak as I am, I just wanted to mention…

Allan Sullivan offers a few suggestions for improving the grammar and spelling on this weblog. For the most part, though, I don’t spend too much time worrying about the spelling and grammatical errors I make here.

As I’ve said before, I just fail to see why some of my conservative friends are so impressed by Bill O’Reilly (remember, this is a guy who interviewed Gene Simmons about the Kiss founder’s views on terrorism).
