For it is quite confusing for us poor heathen to keep track.

As Hot Air has noted, Governor Richardson today contradicted the established wisdom of the Obama campaign today:
He not only agreed that we need to drill more - I distinctly heard him include the Gulf Coast in that - he actually spoke out against corn-based ethanol! This, of course, is a violation of the Words of Obama, who is both against Gulf drilling and is beloved of the domestic ethanol lobby.
At least he is... today. Maybe. It's hard to tell; after all, he was for public financing, talking to dictators without preconditions, and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright until he suddenly wasn't. So it's hard to say whether this is rank heresy or simply the announcement of a new Obama prophecy. Clearly, this is only going to go on being a problem for the rest of this election season, so we need some way to distinguish between the two. Fortunately, I have come up with a solution that should work quite well.

Budget battle hinges on Iraq
By ANDREW TAYLORWASHINGTON - Democrats controlling Congress sent the most explicit signals yet on Thursday that they are resigned to providing additional funding for the war in Iraq before Congress adjourns for the year.
Conceding that President Bush is in a strong position as Congress seeks to wrap up its work, Democrats are cooking up a pre-Christmas endgame that would deliver tens of billions of dollars for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan on conditions acceptable to the White House.
The Iraq funding would ultimately be attached by Bush's Senate GOP allies to a $500 billion-plus "omnibus" appropriations bill taking shape in closed-door talks. That's the only way they would let the measure advance through the Senate.
...
Hoyer acknowledged Democrats are considering a legislative two-step in which the House would initially pass the catch-all spending bill next week without Iraq funding attached. But the Senate would add the money — as the only way to avoid a GOP filibuster — and House Democrats would reluctantly accept it.
Via Captain's Quarters.
Yes, kids, that's right: if you are a Democrat who is against the war, the above can be read as a tacit admission by your own Party that they think that you're too stupid to notice when you've been stabbed in the back.
Oops, did I just type that out? Goofy me.
