Moron My Arse…

(Via Sullivan) Tony Blair defends Bush from acusations of being an idiot, one can hardly call this “partisan propaganda.”

I’m also not sure I buy this bit in the Guardian. Do pot and porn account for a lot of spending? Probably, but 10% of the aggregate economy, I’d think not. Especially when it’s according to “a study” by the Author of Fast Food Nation. I’ve not read that particular work, and I’m sure it’s good, but a penchant for journalistic investigation does not an economist make. I’ll have to take a look at this book in more detail to evaluate the sources of his estimates, but without some solid econometric data or methodology, I don’t trust it.

Lastly, be sure to check out this great piece in the Weekly Standard about reporting from the front.
