Everyone's favorite W&M alum, Jon Stewart, will be giving this year's commencement address. Like Clarence said, "all we got was a lying historian" at our graduation. And in this Daily Show clip, they manage to pack in AWOL, FAUX News, electronic voting fraud, and the economy all in one segment. Last night's show on the Condi testimony was supposed to be great, so catch the 7:00 replay tonight if you care.

Speaking of Condi, the reviews of her performance are not stellar. One in particular asks if Condi knows how to do her job. The magic 8-ball says "No." The Center for America Progress compiled a "Claim vs. Fact" sheet on her testimony.

24 hours a week, 7 months a year. A telling passage in an article about how effed up things are in Iraq these days:
    This is Bush's 33rd visit to his ranch since becoming president. He has spent all or part of 233 days on his Texas ranch since taking office, according to a tally by CBS News. Adding his 78 visits to Camp David and his five visits to Kennebunkport, Maine, Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency.

August 6th PDB. After Condi's testimony, we now know that the August 6th PDB rumored to contain warnings about al Qaida was titled, "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." But wait--didn't Condi say that all signs pointed to attacks outside the U.S.? That document, received by Shrub on (where else?) his ranch in 2001, will be declassified. I guess the Bushies realized that fighting it would be a losing battle.
