Green and Red Notes on St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Paddy’s Day all. I’ll be wearing green tonight (and hopefully swimming in it too, after my poker buddies belly up to the table).
I won’t be marching with fellow Irish here in New York, however, until the St. Patrick’s Day parade welcomes all people, gay and straight, into the celebration.

Jane is seeing red (and a little dirty green too), in an excellent post last night on some of the little-known crooks who are part of the Bush data-mining cabal. It’s worth a look, as well as a check on FDL’s Lions and Lemmings list of Senate commitments on the Bush censure motion.

More good updates on Senators, Democrats, and the censure debate are available at PBD: Progressive Blog Digest, where Nick labors in the wee hours of the morning to round up the best and latest info throughout the blogosphere.

Today, Nick also highlights some New York dirt from police memos about preemptive arrests at demonstrations here…we’ve been ranting about this (into the wind) for years now. Finally, the Times noticed the cops even write this tactic down now, it’s so brazen.
