Good news: Israel will halt its offensive in Lebanon on Monday. So it has been said, and so we shall see.

This entry will be brief, and its subject is the adventure in politics that Bob Novak’s latest column is. It gives a rundown of a handful of political situations, from a secretive House member running a shadowy and under-fire campaign for the Senate to two Activists who Connecticut Democrats fear will sink them in the Senate. Even better, it ends with a Republican who once wrote, “For Freedom’s Sake, Eliminate Social Security!”

It couldn’t be a more complete article if it outed a CIA Agent.

Actually, it’s an interesting look at a few of the tighter races in politics today, and it can give you a better understanding of politics today. Take Sharon Marie Renier, mentioned in the article as an opponent to a Conservative Republican in Michigan. She’s running a campaign that is in debt, and so she doesn’t have any cash to battle with. It’s sad how that works, isn’t it?
