Last night during the debate, Cheney suggested that you could find out the truth about his connection with Halliburton by visiting factcheck.com. At the time, factcheck.com was a spam site with ads for various and sundry scams; Cheney meant factcheck.org.

Sometime in the last 12 hours, the owner of factcheck.com redirected all traffic to that site over to georgesoros.com. That's pretty impressive reaction time; either the owner is partisan or Soros got to him and offered him enough money to make the swapover really quickly. It's also very Internet-savvy.

Meanwhile, factcheck.org is now pointing out that Edwards was "mostly right" about Cheney and Halliburton.

Judicial Watch is now identifying itself as a "conservative public interest group." This is a change from their previous branding as a "nonpartisan public interest group."

This change comes as they call on Republican Tom DeLay to step down. I don't know if they've decided to generally admit that they're conservative and partisan (which is not a dirty word), or if they just think they'll have more weight in this instance because they're calling on someone who's theoretically a fellow traveller to step down. Either way, good for them.
