Why was the 3 am call so offensive? Maybe if Democrats addressed the issue instead of letting Republicans own national security they would actually win.

Why won't Obama release his state senate schedule & records?

Just saw the first pic on your slideshow, and I have to say, your chat on the Liston cover gives no hint of how damnedly, phenomenally artistic it is--the lighting, the ancient sepia tone, the empty seats, the flat-on perspective, the staid parallel lines, the only angle in the pic is Patterson's body--death death death all over--it's really brilliant.

And I love it for its sheer impact. People must have flipped out!
