*** John Hawkins details why an Ohio recount won't change the outcome. He's got numbers.

*** Blackfive has a round-up of links from a Military blogger who describes the nature of combat in Iraq. Essential reading.

*** Dean takes a shot at Sean Hannity:

Okay, anyway, like I said, I was starting to feel annoyed at the rough treatment of Rice, when I actually heard Sean Freaking Hannity turn to his guest and say, Ann Coulter, don't you find these Democratic attacks on Condoleezza Rice incredibly mean-spirited?

Some moments are so priceless they defy comment.

*** Frank J's latest burst of artistic genius is breathtaking.

*** The Llamas have nominated me for the cover of Time's Person of the Year. They have a picture!

*** And James Joyner is disappointed with Bush's possible overhaul of the tax system:

This is disappointing on a number of levels. Not only does it do very little to alleviate the problems that Bush citied in the campaign--the incredible amount of time and money that simply complying with the current system consumes--but it actually strikes me as harmful.

I'm withholding judgment.

Re: the tax system.

I would agree to pay the same amount I annually pay in taxes, and add to it half the amount I annually pay my accountant, if I no longer had to pay an accountant.

The government would get more money, and I would keep more money. Everyone would be happier, except for the accountants.

OT: Bill, did you see this sh**?

An Islamic militant group in Iraq is warning Muslims to skip the country's upcoming elections, saying anyone who runs for office would be branded an infidel and "punished in the name of God."

The stretch to connect choosing one's own government to heresy deserving death is perhaps a new low. At least, nothing could be lower.
