So if the Democrats want a truth commission, and the Republicans and Dick Cheney want a truth commission, why can’t we order up a double order of truth commission? Am I missing something here? . . . Make it happen.

Agree with John. I get the distinct feeling that the resistance mainly comes from the Obama Administration right now.

Speaking for me only

The days are longer now.

I'm just heading to bed, so I know lots of you early birds will be looking to express yourselves on a variety of topics before I get up. Here's some space for you to do just that. All topics welcomre.

It's a shame that the press involves a "public trust." Otherwise, the Media could take its cues from American Idol:

Can a television show with a shrinking audience actually increase its revenue? In the case of “American Idol,” the answer is yes . . . Despite losing viewers in each of the last three years, “American Idol”. . . is generating ever-growing profits for its creators and, it appears, for Fox Broadcasting through brand extensions, marketing arrangements and licensing fees.

The New York Times could sell naming rights - The Federal Express NYTimes? Anyway, this is an Open Thread.

Happy Mothers Day.

After calling my mother, I turned on the TV and remembered why I do not watch Sunday Talk anymore. ABC had their roundtable of Stephanopolos, Will, Donaldson, Cokie Roberts with Robert Reich. Apart from Reich, the ignorance was stunning.

One particular passage -- Will said that "the bankruptcy law was altered" in the Chrysler matter to "save the union." Of course, in Will's mind, the bankruptcy law was designed to destroy unions and save the Masters of the Universe.

Still busy time for me. I have one post bubbling in my brain about the value of diversity. I do not care for the approach of some on the progressive side in describing it. They seem more focused on how it affects outcomes rather than diversity being an outcome of equality (particularly equal opportunity) itself. Thinking through how to write what I think about that issue.

What stories are you thinking about? This is an Open Thread.

I'm going to watch Last Chance Harvey and Benjamin Button, both of which arrived via Netflix this week.

What's going on in your neck of the woods? Here's an open thread to discuss more important -- or less important -- matters.

All topics welcome.

A bevy of beauty queens got together yesterday to express their beliefs. Present and former winners of Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, Miss Universe, and Miss California titles recorded a PSA that included these memorable lines:

"I believe when I express my opinion I have a responsibility to do it in a way that respects others who may not agree … I believe in love … I believe when two people with opposite views communicate with love and respect both points of view can be heard … I believe no one should be silenced if they are speaking from their heart with respect … I believe in the beauty of California."

Carrie Prejean couldn't make it, but we already know what she believes. What do you believe?

This is an open thread.

I'll be offline for the next several hours so here's an open thread for you.

All topics welcome.

I have a very busy 3 days ahead. So I won't be around much during the day. But the victorious legal warrior J walks again amongst us mere mortals so I am sure she, with TChris and Ethan, will have plenty of interesting things to say.
