· Good gravy. Not only do the Lyndon LaRouchies heckle and disrupt a peaceable Objectivist conference, but in the very same week they get thrown out of the Connecticut Governor's debate. (BTW, they even had a table passing out literature at the anti-Khatami protest at Harvard)

· I'm not sure why this is an issue, but apparently, Joe Lieberman actually has uttered the words "stay the course"...and get this, so has George W. Bush. For shame, Mr. Lieberman, for shame.

· In dueling endorsements news, Lieberman got Bob Kerrey, Ned got John Kerry (link to video -- he talks about Iraq). In fact, that's a word that's uttered a lot in Lamontville still, Iraq, Iraq...also Nixon...Nixon is another favorite word these days. The negative thing hasn't worked out so well here in Massachusetts for Kerry Healey, and I think Ned's going to have to find a new tune, too...of course Lamont doesn't have quite the hill to get over that Healey does, but I think everyone who's going to has gotten the "Iraq bad" thing by now, and Joe just doesn't feel like a Nixon, y'know?
