Two good men. A passing salute to Pennsylvania's John Murtha and California's Pete Stark — the only two members of the House to vote in favor of reinstating the draft. I don't support the idea of a draft myself; I think we need to expand the military, but I'd like to see it done by calling for more volunteers. But I do admire Murtha and Stark for the courage of their convictions, and I wish the GOP-controlled House would take its duties more seriously.

No, John Edwards. I am your father. I've only watched part of the vice-presidential debate — I simply can't watch Dick Cheney speak without stopping the tape and fact-checking him. (Cheney says Afghanistan will have its first-ever election in four days… hmm… nope. Afghanistan's first election was in 1965.) But I think the best summary I've read so far is that, out of the four candidates, Bush is now in fourth place.
