I have, thanks to Stacey McCain’s Championing, finally broke down and bought a copy of Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72. So far it’s better than the Las Vegas drug trip, because it’s actually about something of general interest (what, Vegas was square in ’71? Say it ain’t so!) and thus the purple-toned yammering is… Read More How the Liberal Media Works
You know it’s the silly season when campaign insiders and journalists (there’s a difference. I just know there is) start whispering about positive jobs reports. Even hardened old cynics like myself took pause. Why, maybe there’s a chance after all. Maybe the economy has finally found its headwind. And true to form, the numbers weren’t… Read More Taking Hope Behind the Barn and Killing it With an Axe.
Sweet creeping Moses, are those fools actually excited about Bill Clinton? Really? REALLY? Four years after Barack Osiris Dionysius Mithra Yeshua Obama recast the Democratic party in his image and likeness, and cast the Clintons and their wicked DNC upon the ash-heap of history, and now they think this aging Priapus will save them? IT IS… Read More The DNC: Democrats Nad-Lapping Clinton
I hate when they do that before the season’s even over…
I stayed true to my earlier statement: I didn’t watch a lick of the RNC. I did not care. I couldn’t even make it through YouTube videos of the candidate that other bloggers got excited about: Mia Love, Paul Ryan. I read the text of Romney’s speech and thought it a good one, on balance.… Read More And After the Nausea, the Vomiting…The RNC and Lee Atwater’s Sins
You’re not gonna take it? No? You’re not gonna take it? Anymore? You’re not gonna let Paul Ryan use your one hit to introduce him? That’s, like, beneath you? You have serious moral issues with that? News flash, you aging no-homo drag queen: that piece of art you excreted all over MTV back in 1984… Read More Really, Twisted Sister?
It seems like the BBC is always offering New and Interesting studies that fail to be either. I don’t know if science in the UK is so devoted to AGW that there are no resources for anything else, or if the BBC can no longer tell what’s news and what isn’t. Of course, I have… Read More My Brain is Sluggish; it Must be Tuesday.
First, a consideration of the media coverage: Then, a comparison of deeds similar to Akin’s: Feel free to spread ’round teh interwebz. Smitty at Other McCain mentions that the boy in question is above Minnesota’s age of consent, so technically this is not statutory rape. Which undoubtedly makes it all fine.
I’m starting to thing this pundit business is easy. Two days ago I posited the following: So let’s look at the kind of guy Mitt Romney is. He’s a business guy. He’s managerial. He’s serious. He’s sober. He plans and works and works and plans. Which is to say, he does not fly by the seat… Read More Paul Ryan and the Vice Presidency
Unlike Stacy McCain or Bob Belvedere, I am not enough of an insider-politics kind of guy to follow the buzz and make educated guesses. I don’t know who’s going to get picked. So what follows is merely the emanations of feelings in my gut. So let’s look at the kind of guy Mitt Romney is. He’s a business… Read More Romney’s Veep is Going to Be Boring
