Filed under: Presidential 2008 | Republicans — by Will Kirkland @ 7:55 pm

Hurricane Gustav is doing a good job of shutting down the Republican Nominating Convention. Bush and Cheney have sent their regards and McCain has hightailed it to Louisiana with his hoop-earringed running mate to make grand pronouncements about his a-political stunt.

Meanwhile, raids have been conducted all over Minneapolis in search of anyone to the left of Alberto Gonzales. Several sites to follow this.

Jane Hamsher at FireDogLake has videos of a raid.

Much reporting at Campaign Silo, Glenn Greenwald here and here.

Words for Acts

None of us is in a position to eliminate war, but it is our obligation to denounce it and expose it in all its hideousness. War leaves no victors, only victims.
