When you watch this short film from 1946 and consider it in the context of where America stands today; particularly in light of the startling revelation that our President has now openly informed America that he is the law.

This film was produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films, Inc. almost exactly 50 years ago. I came across it in the blog of writer William Gibson, who himself thanks his friend Joi Ito for originally pointing it out to him.

Zogby International's year-end poll is out and the results generally look quite good for Democrats in 2006:

Asked if they would "definitely" or "probably" vote for the Democrat or Republican in next year's fall congressional election, 48% said the Democrat would get their support, compared to 40% who said they would vote for the Republican. While 3% said they plan on supporting a third-party candidate, 9% said they were unsure.

The bad news for us is that at this moment at least is that consensus leading candidate Hillary Clinton would likely to be crushed by McCain in '08: Zogby seeing 52% to 37%, McCain in such a matchup with 11% unsure.

So the message seems to be: all systems go for a good 2006 showing, and we clearly need a better candidate in '08. Will Al Gore please stand up?

Seymour Hersh's interview on CNN yesterday has set alarm bells ringing again that George W. Bush may be seriously mentally ill. In considering that possibility and what it might imply, there has been some back and forth about the nature of what precisely we as a nation are facing in the Bush administration - are these individuals "crazy", are they "evil", are they merely "statist fanatics" and no more than a transient shift in the political winds? Do moralistic terms such as "evil" even merit a place in any serious discourse about a branch of government?

More evil and madness after the fold. Read More
