A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Rehnquist stepping down too?
That's the latest word from Bob Novak, who despite his possible part in possible criminal conspiracy re Valerie Plame, has great conservative sources and called the O'Connor resignation in advance.
How will this all play out, with Rehnquist throwing a second vacancy in the mix? Here's my punditry:
Scalia gets moved up to Chief Justice.
Alberto Gonzales (Bush's Abe Fortas) and filibuster-proof Janice Brown fill the two Associate gaps.
Brown gets spun as being the social conservative when, except on affirmative action, she's really not, except compared to Gonzales.
Both are young enough to serve 25 years and establish an imprimatur.
