  • When flip-flopping is a good thing

    Tommy Thompson says employers shouldn't be able to fire gays. Hillary Clinton wants to deauthorize the Iraq war. The White House thinks it's OK to talk to Syria. A mind is a wonderful thing to change.
  • And the winner is ...

    Fred Thompson, the Democrats and Brian Williams.
  • Giuliani blows the abortion question

    "It would be OK" if Roe v. Wade was overturned.
  • A few early notes

    McCain seems grumpy. Huckabee takes a shot at Bush over Iraq. The debate format is awful.
  • What to watch for in the GOP debate

    Supposedly the candidates can't afford to dis the president. But will anybody deviate from Karl Rove's game plan of pandering to a tiny right-wing base and scaring the rest of us?
  • Salon wins Webby award

    We're the people's choice in the online magazine category. Thanks, Webby voters!
  • Mission accomplished

    Four years after his cynical flyboy stunt, the president vetoes a war-funding bill. So how is it Democrats are the ones who don't support the troops?
  • Should George Tenet give up his Medal of Freedom?

    A group of former CIA officers says yes. I can't believe he accepted it to begin with.
  • Goodbye to the Fix, for now

    In a world gone mad with celebrity gossip, it's time to focus on what we can do best.
  • And the winner is?

    Hillary didn't lose. Nobody else won. Plus: Did she say the M-word? And wild Mike Gravel gets off the best line of the night.
  • She said it! Sort of

    Hillary Clinton uses the M-word.
  • Best line of the night so far

    Former Sen. Mike Gravel is a little scary, but the other candidates should remember what he just said about Iraq.
  • The fun begins!

    MSNBC's Chris Matthews on "a subject I love to talk about, gender." Fasten your seat belts, everybody!
  • Getting ready for the first Democratic debate

    Sure, it all seems too early, but it's exciting nonetheless. Plus: I'm on "Scarborough Country" tonight.
  • Heroes and cowards

    David Halberstam and Pat Tillman vs. Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.
  • Wait, how did I miss Rush Limbaugh?

    Yet another dumb right-wing Virginia Tech excuse: Cho was a liberal!
  • How little we know about Cho

    Newt Gingrich blames liberalism, the Sunday Times of London blames "a feminised society." So many opinions, so little enlightenment about the Virginia Tech tragedy.
  • More cruelty from right-wing crackpots

    While liberals debate whether it's OK to criticize the president on a day of mourning, wingnuts waste no time blaming Virginia Tech victims.
  • Is it OK to criticize the president again?

    It's great that Bush rushed to Virginia Tech after 33 people were killed, but it's fair to question his slow-motion response to the mass deaths in New Orleans -- and Iraq.
  • No reprieve for Alberto Gonzales

    A two-day testimony delay won't help the attorney general, who says "to my knowledge" he didn't target U.S. attorneys for replacement. But how much doesn't he know? Maybe he should talk to Scooter Libby?
  • Kos gets a pass this week

    Let's forgive his tin-eared post dismissing online misogyny because he just had a baby girl -- and nothing educates men about sexism quite like having a daughter.
  • And now, for news that really matters

    Another great scoop by Salon's Mark Benjamin has Barack Obama asking the White House about its Veterans Affairs leadership picks.
  • Black rappers made him do it!

    Joe Scarborough and John Ridley peddle the dumbest Imus excuse of all: He learned his racist misogyny from hip-hop!
  • Firing Imus was the right thing

    Years of racist, sexist and anti-Semitic jokes took their toll, and MSNBC finally saw the light.
  • Michelle Malkin plays the victim card

    The conservative blogger wants to know why I wrote about threats to Kathy Sierra, and not her. Here's my answer.
