Hangover

No, not me — I’m a bit too long in the tooth to drink during the week. 90% of Obama supporters had to have been hitting the sauce last night, however: If anyone was thrown under a bus during Obama’s hastily arranged press conference yesterday, it was them.
These poor folk have been arguing since [...]

Sullivan’s poison

Oh, this is a beauty. After over a month spent defending Jeremiah Wright from those of us who find his racism disgusting, and question Barack Obama’s relationship with him, Andrew Sullivan comes up with this:
I knew he was an exhibitionist; many of his sermons at Trinity, read in their entirety, do fall within the [...]

We aren’t leading you here, much less trying to make you drink

Michael Hirsh let forth a liberal elitist primal scream that shook the foundations of…well, of nothing, actually, this weekend. Hirsh’s view is that “what has become the South-Southwest” has “won another kind of Civil War. It has transformed the sensibility of the country. It is setting the agenda for our political, social and religious [...]

Ugh

This makes me want to throw up. I don’t have time to write about it at the moment, but this post will serve as a bookmark for doing so later.

Bellavia for Congress

In my email today:
SSG David Bellavia is running for congress in New York State. Bellavia served in the First Infantry Division for six years. He has been recommended for the Medal of Honor and has been nominated for the Distinguished Service Cross. He wrote a book about his experience in Iraq called “House to House: [...]

The week from hell draws to a close

This has been one hell of a week. I just finished entering my time into our company’s time tracking system, and it looks like I’ll close out with 77 hours on the books this afternoon. That’s understandable, I suppose, given I’m managing five — Yes, I said five enterprise software implementation projects right [...]

I know, I know…

I’m supposed to be drinking. Well, I am drinking, but while my bride gets ready to go and consume rare beef and lobster tails (which apparently requires an hour of makeup and hair primping), I couldn’t resist this one.
Behold. The owner and administrator of Democratic Underground, David (Principal) Skinner:
Remember that most people here [...]

Heh

Geraghty:
Now let’s turn to another ad/web video, this one from AmericansComingTogether, entitled, “Younger Than McCain.” As you can guess, this one attacks McCain’s age, spotlighting lots of things that are younger than McCain, like velcro, the Republic of Iceland, Dick Cheney, color TV, and Burger King. (Of their list, note that Hillary Clinton is only [...]

Colbert as Borat?

Doc Weasel makes an interesting point:
Lastly, Colbert isn’t very funny, and he’s not very personable. He belongs to that class of “comedian” that is popular now, the Borat version, where you adopt a character that you look down upon, and you use that character to push fake stereotypes, (coincidentally, liberal, leftist stereotypes) in a way [...]

Indeed

Larry Bartels (he of the debunking (PDF) of the “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” theorem) has a new jab at it in the NYT:
Small-town people of modest means and limited education are not fixated on cultural issues. Rather, it is affluent, college-educated people living in cities and suburbs who are most exercised by guns and [...]
