Absentee Senator: McCain Attended ZERO Afghanistan Hearings Over Past 2 Years ABC reports tonight that McCain is 0-for-6 when it comes to Afghanistan:
ABC News’ Z. Byron Wolf reports from Capitol Hill: The McCain campaign criticism of Sen. Barack Obama’s hearing record on Capitol Hill led us to put the shoe on the other foot.
It turns out that presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, has attended [...] feedburner.com Friday, July 18, 2008 Alan Reynolds argues that we aren't in anything close to the stagflationary environment of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Fair enough: But are the people who are arguing that we are really worth taking on? The more serious argument is that we're in a situation akin to that of the mid- to late-1960s, where inflation is beginning to take off, and that the Fed needs to make a course correction so that we don't end up in the late '70s. nationalreview.com Friday, July 18, 2008 This NPR story is posted without comment, save to say that the folks in the picture don't look that emaciated. nationalreview.com Friday, July 18, 2008 [Thanks to Ali Alfoneh for his compilation; (E) signified English link]

Long lines at Tehran gas stations. Diplomacy
In an indirect reference to the negotiation between the U.S. and Iran on the nuclear issue, Rafsanjani alludes to the end of the Iran-Iraq war in an interview with Iranian television: 'We accepted the [U.N. Security Council] Resolution 598 in the best circumstances, benefitted from it and this saved our country from some threats.'

Send Karl Rove to Jail
Dear Supporter,
This sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Well, it's not. We have a unique opportunity right now to send Karl Rove to jail, but only if we take immediate action.
All we have to do is pressure the 40 members of the House Judiciary Committee, make them hold Rove in contempt and send him to jail. We've never had such a direct opportunity to hold Rove accountable. No, this is not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it's a huge start, and will send a very clear message to the entire Bush administration....

This contains a "spoiler" for Heroes, Season 1. (I use quotes here because, if you've watched any part of the first season, you see the ending coming from a mile away.) No one else has mentioned this, but did anyone notice similarities between Nathan Petrelli's character and Rudy Giuliani? Petrelli's character is a rising Italian politician in New York City with some questionable ties to powerful and shady businessmen (mobsters). Then the show revealed that Petrelli was aware of -- and complicit with -- a major attack on New York City. The idea was, of course, that the disaster would turn Petrelli into a hero, which we all know 9/11 did for Giuliani.
Petrelli conveniently repents at the last minute so viewers are left feeling warm and fuzzy inside. But I couldn't help but wonder if this was Tim Kring's version of the everlasting conspiracy theory prevalent in Hollyw nationalreview.com Friday, July 18, 2008 For Iraq, ''A General Time Horizon For Meeting Aspirational Goals'' It's not an 'arbitrary date,' it's a 'general time horizon.' From the White House a few minutes ago:
President Bush and Prime Minister Maliki spoke yesterday in their regularly scheduled secure video conference, about a range of matters including the improving security situation and the performance of Iraqi Security Forces across Iraq, from Basra, to Maysan, Baghdad and Sadr City, and Mosul...
In the context of these improving political, economic, and security conditions, the President and the Prime Minister discussed the ongoing negotiations to establish a normalized bilateral relationship between Iraq and the United States...In the area of security cooperation, the President and the Prime Minister agreed that improving conditions should allow for the agreements now under negotiation to include a general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals -- such as the resumption of Iraqi security control in their cities and provinces and the further reduction of U.S. combat forces from Ira nationalreview.com Friday, July 18, 2008 What ''Unitary Executive'' Means In The Bush Era Via Instapundit, Ilya Somin at Volokh writes: Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr is one of many people who confuse the theory of the "unitary executive" with the claim that the executive has virtually unlimited power. Barr argues that "McCain has endorsed, in action if not rhetoric, the theory of the 'unitary executive,' which leaves the president unconstrained by Congress or the courts." In reality, the unitary executive argument is a theory about the distribution of executive power, not its scope. The problem with Somin's argument is that it has been the Bush Administration that has twisted the meaning of the phrase unitary executive to mean what Barr rightly criticizes. More . . . Somin quotes his own previous description of the "unitary executive": The idea of the unitary executive is simply that whatever power the executive branch has should be concentrated in the hands of the president. There can be no executive officials (such as the independent counsel) feedburner.com Friday, July 18, 2008 Indianapolis Implements Plan to Curb Police Misconduct The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has a plan to clean up its act. The plan is designed to make police officers obey the law. You wouldn't think that would be difficult, but this is what's been happening in the absence of meaningful oversight: Narcotics detectives ripping off drug dealers. A police officer selling a gun to a felon informant. Another officer helping his wife run an illegal escort service. Misconduct allegations against the officers have caused the dismissal of at least 20 criminal cases that the bad officers tainted. The question is how many other charges over the years have resulted from work done by officers who feel free to ignore the law. When police officers behave lawlessly, there's reason to wonder whether they have any qualms about planting evidence or committing perjury to advance their own careers. Here's the plan, such as it is: [more ...] The plan calls for increasing supervision, tightening oversight of evidence coll feedburner.com Friday, July 18, 2008 It's a jail day for me, which means an open thread for you.
