How to tell when you are ill

When stories of Republican failures, a strong Democrat giving a strong speech, and another debunking of the Bush White House can't get you excited about blogging, you must be too sick for the world.

Until then, go over and weigh in on Ezra's debate. While these are always fun in theory, it's hard to know what kind of success and failure John Kerry may have experienced while in the White House. But certainly he's right when he suggests that Bush being forced to soak in his own mess is a good thing for Democrats. Until, that is, Saudi princes come and buy out yet another failed career attempt.

*UPDATE* Okay, this actually got me going a little bit:

Seldom overtly political, Murtha uncharacteristically responded to Vice President Dick Cheney's comments this week that Democrats were spouting "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges" about the Bush administration's use of intelligence before the war.

"I like guys who've never been there that criticize us who've been there. I like that. I like guys who got five deferments and never been there and send people to war, and then don't like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done," Murtha said.
