With Andy Pettitte pitching, the Yanks break out against the Bosox (I did not realize that Andy had pitched game two for the Yankees in nine straight best of five divisional series. Amazing).

That means we can turn to the news of the day. I mean Pat Robertson. This week it's the State Department. His reverence and Christian humility is once again on display. Oh my, demagoguery comes to town, draped in Christian self-righteousness.

Ah, yes, demagogues. Cheney continues to make speeches that are, well, bizarre. He continues to invoke the imminent threat that Iraq simply did not pose, at least according to the Kay Report. No one disputes he "had" weapons programs. But, I guess it depends on what the meaning of "had" is. Well, we got 'em now. And, oh yes, Don Rumsfeld grants that it's a "mixed picture".

Speaking of Rumsfeld, the Atlantic Monthly has a fascinating piece on Rumsfeld's years in the Nixon White House. I was not aware that he was so closely involved with Mitchell, Colsen, and CREEP. The article isn't online, but an interview with the author, James Mann, is.

Go Yankees.
