We'll have a first post from Marshall Ganz on the rise of the "organizer" later today (apologies for the delay). In the meantime, the floor is yours.

Has Gonzales resigned yet?

Very classy of Josh Marshall to post well wishes to Tony Snow. I hope Lucianna Goldberg and her ilk take notice.

That's my Congresswoman!!


Pelosi for President!

Majority in US (60%!!!) backs 2008 pull-out from Iraq

They won't. We're Hitler, remember?

I am actually quite worried about developments in Iran. You all may remember that last month, before the AG scandal broke, TPM had done some indepth commentary about the notion of creating chaos, or rather, creating the medium for chaos, so that it would inevitably expand to Iran.

I note that the U.S. today has announced the largest naval exercise ever in the Persian Gulf, warning Iran to stay within their 12 mile boundary. On top of the seizure of British Naval seaman, this seems quite a bad (or good, depending on your viewpoint) sense of timing for these manuevers.

Does anyone know more about this exercise?

The perfect set-up, isn't it? Our ally Britain, attacked without provocation by the Iranians, the U.S. happening to have scheduled naval exercises, and the French bottling up the mouth to the strait. Escalating threats, misunderstandings...

Sounds like the making of the perfect storm, to me.

Is this the reason Britain is leaving Iraq, so that it can focus on Iran?

Just imagine where we wouldn't be if Allen had beaten Webb in Virginia and the Reps still controlled the Senate. Every friggin' vote counts....If Dade County didn't already prove that beyond a shadow.
