			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p><img src="http://www.brightandearlyblog.com/wp-images/cup.gif" alt="First Cup" style="float:left; margin-right:5px;" /><strong>It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity. ~ <em>Dave Barry</em></strong></p>
<h2 class="bdb">Happy 2nd Blogiversary to:<br /><a href="http://andwhatnext.mu.nu/" target="_blank">And What Next&#8230;</a></h2>
<p><strong>Blogs for Bush</strong> (Mark Noonan) <em><a href="http://www.blogsforbush.com/mt/archives/2007/02/early_in_the_su.html" target="_blank">Early in the &#8220;Surge&#8221;</a></em>
<p class="fcq">The critics have it that we can just pick up and leave and all can be smoothed over &#8211; presumably by a French-led diplomatic effort to kneel before our terrorist masters and promise we won&#8217;t harm them again, if they&#8217;ll only refrain from killing us in large numbers&#8230;you know, a dozen is ok, but if they kill 3,000 in a couple hours, that gets really difficult for liberals on the political front.</p>
<p><strong>Right Wing News</strong> (John Hawkins) <em><a href="http://www.rightwingnews.com/mt331/2007/02/big_announcement_i_am_now_cons.php" target="_blank">Big Announcement: I Am Now Consulting For The Duncan Hunter Campaign</a></em>
<p class="fcq">On February 3, Nathan Tabor from <a href="http://www.tcvmedia.com/" target="_blank">TCV Media</a> got in touch with me and asked if I&#8217;d be interested in consulting for the Duncan Hunter campaign. We bantered back and forth, came to a basic understanding that Saturday, and then finalized the deal the next day. Long story short, TCV Media brought me on board to be their point person in building up buzz for <a href="http://www.gohunter08.com/" target="_blank">Duncan Hunter online</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Iowa Voice</strong> (Brian) <em><a href="http://www.iowavoice.com/2007/02/15/stewart-smalley-tries-to-go-to-washington/" target="_blank">Stewart Smalley (Tries) To Go To Washington</a></em>
<p class="fcq">Not being from Minnesota, I can’t tell you one way or another whether he has a chance or not…but I’m sure a few playbacks of his shrill performances on Air America would be enough to turn of just about any voter who was thinking of voting for him.</p>
<p><strong>Captain&#8217;s Quarters</strong> (Ed Morrissey) <em><a href="http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/009170.php" target="_blank">That Hudna Didn&#8217;t Last Long, Either</a></em>
<p class="fcq">Remember the wedding between Hamas and Fatah, and the big reception held by the Saudis in Mecca? It seems that the bride and groom have started consulting lawyers already:</p>
