To paraphrase Winston Churchill, we knew what Mary Landrieu was, and now we’ve established her price. I expect that quite a few Democratic Senators are going to go the Anh “Joseph” Cao route and start revealing how much it’ll take to buy them off. A couple Republicans may well prostitute themselves out for the Reidgeld, [...]
If this story gets any traction at all it could become the scientific scandal of the century, if not of all time. I know that sounds like crazy-eyed hyperbole, so judge it for yourself. The University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit was hacked recently (though there are strong suggestions that it was an inside [...]
I’ve been meaning to write a couple posts about Attorney General Eric Holder’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this week, but other oblgiations have imposed themselves on me. However, there are a couple points I want to share. Before I do that, I want to note that the progressive already had their go-to talking [...]
Thank goodness for pronouns and that no one names their kids Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla, Gabriela Rafaela Sarsaparilla, and Albert Andreas Armadillo these days. Though I have to say “The Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla Experience” would be a great name for a band. This is my favorite of the Grammar Rock series aside from Conjunction Junction. Those [...]
There seems to be a lack of alacrity in the Obama administration over the fact that its means of telling us where it spent our trillion dollars’ worth of stimulus money is slightly less rigorous than room full of blind, insane gibbons flinging darts marked “stimulus money” toward a map of the United States. When asked about [...]
Good eeeeevening… Episode 12 of The Delivery is available for all you discerning podcast connoisseurs. As usual, you can listen to it here, download it directly with this link, or drink deeply from the iTunes river. This week’s show is easily one of the two best shows I’ve done so far. The first half hour [...]
I spent a little bit of time talking about Sarah Palin in the latest episode of The Delivery. I didn’t get quite as much time as I wanted and I didn’t get to say anything about her interview with Rush Limbaugh, which was actually very good. Hey, I only block half an hour for politics [...]
Well, you don’t say. President Obama directly acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay will not close by the January deadline he set, but he said he hoped to still achieve that goal sometime next year. Obama refused, however, to set a new deadline. In an interview in the [...]
Ah, so the Republican party isn’t the only one torn by “civil war”, going through a “crackup”, experincing a “schism” , heading for a “split”, or committing “fratricide”. The Democrats are having their own problems with stunning electoral loses, recalcitrant moderates, a grassroots uprising against the party establishment, calls for donation boycotts, arguments about ideology [...]
Apropos of my post yesterday on the phantom “saved or created” jobs here in Maryland (and Eddiebear’s national scoop!), I notice that other folks have found that the administration has stowed a few extra congressional districts in their states, too. Dafydd Ab Hugh discovered that California is actually 44 Congressional Districts larger than he thought [...]
