Nope. Shoot right. Been known to take a turn at centre. No good at left wing 'cause I don't turn well that way.

Not if everyone's out to get you!

Interesting that more and more is being written on this topic.

By the way, Pileon, normally I would have tried to contribute more, but the hands-over-the-ears partisanship is really getting to me -- no matter what you say, the die-hard Bushies don't listen to this kind of stuff, it's like white noise to them. Didn't mean to thwart your topic like that...it was a good story you linked.

People are pretty set in their ways here Five-hole, I can agree with that.

You know I don't think Dis actually likes bush, he just hates Kerry more.

Pretty darned interesting read. I suppose the only criticism I could think of (as a Devil's advocate) is that the foundation might simply just be super-conservative (technically nothing wrong w/ that), and donated money to basically any right-wing cause that came along. A lot of the time foundations don't keep fantastic track of the donations, and rely on personal relationships more than actual financial responsibility when disseminating their cash.

Sounds like this foundation is beyond right-wing in its funding practises though.

I have a problem with this sort of 'follow-the-money' detective-work, as it draws connections that probably have nothing to do with one another--it's the same sort of investigating that determined that Cat Stevens was a terrorist threat.

I see your point Octo... but this trail is pretty clear because the Bradly Corp donates money Directly to PNAC.

This isn't an X -> X -> X-> Y.
