Thursday: Sampson Takes The Stand

Keep your ears pressed to the radio (or computer) today, folks, cause we'll be keeping our ears pressed to the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, where Kyle Sampson will either throw Alberto Gonzales under the proverbial bus, or instantaneously forget everything he's done in his life before today. Actually, early indications are that he'll admit they did it, but say that "it" wasn't anything wrong. We'll break it all down with Atrios. And we'll welcome Dean Baker, author of The Conservative Nanny State, who will explain how conservatives use government to keep getting richer, while screwing everyone else.

Oh, also, Karl Rove dances and raps. This video is not suitable for small children.

Maps For the New Millenium
posted by birdie

No longer is the map of the world just a browning piece of paper above the blackboard...here is a collection of world maps, using equal area cartograms where territories are re-sized on each map according to particular variables; land-mass and population of course, but also literacy, education, work, poverty/wealth, food consumption, exports/imports, resources, mortality from a variety of causes and so on.

The Worldmapper Project is a collaborative effort between geographers at the University of Sheffield and the University of Michigan. There are 366 maps, also available as PDF posters.

A man was taken to Bridgeport Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation after he led authorities on a high-speed chase and then claimed to be Vice President
Dick Cheney, police said.

John Spernak, 42, later admitted he wasn't Cheney but said he was actually "Charlie's Angels" star Jaclyn Smith, police said. He also claimed to be the husband of Paris Hilton's sister.

Gates: Congress Should Close Gitmo
Yahoo News | Susan Cornwell | March 29, 2007 01:51 PM

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Thursday Congress should look for ways to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, but said any solution must ensure some detainees would remain incarcerated for life.

"Is there a way statutorily to address the concerns about some of these people who really need to be incarcerated forever but that doesn't get them involved in a judicial system where there is the potential of them being released, frankly?" Gates said at a congressional hearing.

"I just don't know the answer," he said.

INCREASE MAY MEAN LONGER ARMY TOURS
Sustaining the U.S. troop increase in Iraq beyond this summer will not be possible without keeping some Army combat brigades in the war zone for up to 16 months -- much longer than the standard year-long tour, a top U.S. general in charge of the military's rotation plans said yesterday.

Anti-contraception family-planning appointee resigns. Eric Keroack, appointed in November by President Bush to oversee federal family planning programs, has resigned. Keroack was a nationally known advocate of abstinence until marriage who had worked for a Christian pregnancy counseling group that opposes contraception. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards respondned, “It’s a good day for women’s health. … The Bush administration must replace Keroack with a legitimate, mainstream public health expert who supports family planning and access to birth control.”

Boehner Repeatedly Mispronounces ‘Tuskegee’ During Congressional Ceremony
The Tuskegee airmen were the U.S. military’s first group of African American fighter pilots, an elite unit that served with distinction during World War II only to return home to face to discrimination and harassment. Today, they received the Congressional Gold Medal, “the most prestigious Congress has to offer.”

But the event was marred slightly by the presentation of House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH):

During his short speech to those in attendance, Boehner six times mispronounced the group’s name as the “Tusk-E-gee,” eliciting audible groans from the front to the back of the Capitol Rotunda. One woman standing in front of me leaned to her companion and whispered, “This is so embarrassing, and he’s from my state.”

Perhaps making matters worse, almost all of Boehner’s speech focused on the general accomplishments of American forces in World War II, paying little direct respect to those in the room.

As if to remove any doubt about the verbal kerfuffle, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell took the stage and began his speech by pronouncing the group’s name correctly, while making a clear, if passing, glance in Boehner’s direction. Immediately afterward, the entire crowd broke into applause at the correction.

Watch a montage of Boehner:

It’s been a rough week for Boehner. Yesterday, he was booed by construction workers when he talked about Iraq, and today he accidentally voted in favor of a budget bill that he’s been deriding for the last week.

Boehner makes a boner! Another idiot!
