"Have you noticed the slowdowns in FR's fundraising? I think there's a reason."

I do too, but there are two possibilities. One is that it's really just down, for whatever reason... Summer slowdown, Freeper dissatisfaction, who knows?

The other is to try and bait speculation like this, to set you up for a "gotcha."

Jury's still out, as far as I'm concerned. Will be watching with interest.

Off topic, but Michael Medved today had a sound bite of John Kerry saying that US intervention in Kosovo (which I favored, but for reasons not remotely related to the blow dried one's latest prevarications or terminal obtuseness) and Liberia (about which I don't know enough to opine) was justified because the US had cultural "ties" with the both Kosovo and Liberia, while with Iraq we did not, so it was not justified, more of less. Isn't that special?
