Taking down No. 1 and No. 2

I should say something (largely positive) about Salvadoran President Tony Saca's first 100 days in office, but that will have to wait a few days.

Meanwhile, I recommend the reading of a piece by Eric Boehlert in Salon, which summarizes all of the arguments about Bush's non-existent National Guard duty in 1972-73.

While you're at it, you might also take a look at this T.D. Allman Rolling Stone article, who ledes with "Should George W. Bush win this election, it will give him the distinction of being the first occupant of the White House to have survived naming Dick Cheney to a post in his administration." You get the idea.
