codeamazon says that this call by the Oregon state Republican Party to have the Feds take "more effective joint action against organized crime, drug cartels, terrorist networks and the Oregon Democratic Party" was still in the platform as of 27 November, until it started spreading around the net like this. Found here via elfs, the wayback machine's archive date is March 3, so that means it was up at least eight months, three weeks. Meanwhile, the state GOP in Virginia is now going to require loyalty oaths to vote in their primary.
Of course, you still have the Democratic Party. Alas.
Meanwhile, in France, Undercover restorers fix Paris landmark's clock, with further commentary here and the restoration group's comments in English here, with pictures. The commentary on replacing the government where the government is inept is interesting. At the same time, American artists take a cue from a mall commercial and secretly build and live in an apartment inside a mall for four years.
talisker posts a Vanity Fair article by Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz on the economic consequences of the Bush administration's massive deficits, spending practices, foreign policy, and so on. One other problem it doesn't mention is the brain drain the new close-the-borders crowd has triggered. (I personally know people who have made these same decisions.)
And finally, here, have some pre-9/11 Rudy Giuliani diplomacy.
