The Progdems of Am's Tim Carpenter has a cheery/bleak post mortem on the
donk house bill
extending the now jointly owned Iraq occupation:

Tim is of several minds on this:
The bad news is that the House bill funds Bush's troop surge and won't bring our troops home until a Sept 1, 2008 'deadline' with provisions allowing troops to stay in Iraq beyond that on vaguely-defined 'training' or 'anti-terrorism' missions....But on the other hand....More bad news is the disunity stirred up among antiwar progressives in Congress by the House leadership's arm-twisting and the intervention of MoveOn.org in support of the leadership's arm-twisting....
... [T]here is great news! While many antiwar Congress members shared with us their bruises and frustrations over Friday's vote, they remain more committed than ever to get a debate on fully-funded unconditional troop withdrawal from Iraq within a year.... The House supplemental has a porous 18-month deadline; Out-of-Iraqers will work toward a tighter, firmer deadline....Great news? You gotta love this jabberwock -- the eternal quest for a tighter, firmer, more satisfying "time line".
But there are masterpieces in this field from time to time. Note this hard-biting ewe:
fully-funded unconditional troop withdrawal....I nominate that one for direct induction into the rough tough cream puff Hall of Fame.

"Tighter, firmer..."
So it's going to morph into an official Why Mommy Is A Democrat Guide To Exercise And Weight Loss. Somebody get, Oprah and Dr. Phil on the phone. Or maybe Jane Fonda... ??

What's the difference between a pwogwessive and a mushroom?
Why, nothing at all.

Mushrooms are great with pasta. I couldn't keep my pasta down were it served in the presence of the Pwog Bwigade. An important distinction there.
