Friday’s Quote of the Day
“I am really astonished at the mood in this room…The tone of these deliberations is slightly demented…You should all remind yourselves that the rest of the country is not necessarily in this same bubble in which people think it is reasonable to describe the president as if he were Caligula.” Remember the next time you [...]
If the Billboard Fits…
I would say the solution to this little kerfuffle is obvious. Don’t give someone a reason to believe that the implication behind it is true, in any way at all. Can you imagine someone putting up a similar billboard that said “Please dont’ vote for John McCain”? The reason for that is Johnny Mac has [...]
Good News: No Bad Guys in Iraq!
It ought to be a standing rule among Democrats to keep three people with duct tape and a big burlap sack in close proximity to Joe Biden all the time. When he gets around a microphone, which he does because he’s physically unable to pass one by without comment, it’s better than even odds that [...]
Playing Possumus
Back in May, Barack Obama said that if John McCain wanted to sit down with him “anywhere, anytime to have a debate about…our respective policies in Iraq, in Iran, the Middle East or around the world” it would be a conversation he’d be “happy to have”.

Since I’m no longer linking directly to AP articles, I’ll point you toward a good post by Dan Collins and give you a precis of [...]
Dennis Kucinich to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Again. No Comment from Darby O’Gill.
Did gas prices drop suddenly to a buck fifty a gallon today? Are we now living free of the threat of Islamism, no longer in serious debt, with a stable dollar, possessed of a Social Security and Medicare system that are solvent well into the future? I only ask because if that stuff hasn’t been [...]
If You’re Going To Scold Me for Being a Fascist Torture-Loving Beast, Get Your History Right, Okay?
I heard The Great One, Mark Levin, talking about this column tonight on his show and just had to see it to believe it. Some ignoramus by the name of Chris Satullo, writing for a newspaper in Philly has decided that America is so very shameful that we should just cancel Independence Day this year [...]
Hitchens Gets Waterboarded to Teach Us a Lesson
I think we can safely say that what little debate we’ve had over waterboarding as part of the rigorous interrogation continuum used by our intelligence professionals over the past few years has not served us well. Few people understand what it is and even fewer care to try to find out. Mostly, waterboarding is used [...]
