A few of us libruls went trap shooting today. Here's me firing a shotgun at orange clay pigeons flying at medium velocity. I hit 9 of 25. I have no idea how that is for a first time out, but I"m going to assume it's astonishingly good since I didn't expect to hit any.
Also, Atrios and Matthew Yglesias both eloquently point out that our own dear leaders Hillary Obama are refusing to lead, especially on Iraq, where they will obviously, upon assuming office, steadfastly maintain the occupation albeit at a lower level. I find this puzzling for Obama since he's younger and presumably not affected by Vietnam, so all I can assume is that he's basically a very smart political hack and not much else. Clinton is just kind of conservative. Anyway, the point of their blog posts is that these are our nominees, and we're letting them get away with tricking us even as we feed them money and that kind of sucks.
