Andrew Sullivan has an interesting take on the differences between Hill and Barry and why he thinks the choice isn’t close:  Hillary suffers from conservative post-traumatic stress disorder.  In a nutshell, Sullivan’s take is that Hillary has learned to fear the Right because it was ascendant when she and (Bubba) took power.  That’s why […]

Two minority dudes.  Two nasty issues.  Two guys who are probably guilty if tried by a jury of their “peers.”  While they might not be my goombahs, or compas or brosm, Mike and Al have been victimized, made “guilty until proven innocent” thanks to the politically correct interpretation of American Justiz and First Amendment Rights acted out by […]

Via Attaturk, we can see how well Bill O’Reilly’s war against Kos is working:

Watching the Right turn its hysteria machine from ten to eleven against Leftblogostan reminds me of something. Hmmm, crediting an enemy with powers it hasn’t yet achieved and awarding it prestige is hasn’t yet earned as a tactic for victory against that […]

From the home office on K Street…
10. Joe Biden will say too many stupid things before primary season.
9. He already knows how to be a co-president.
8. He can bullshit moderate Republicans into thinking Dems really are the “party of Lincoln.”
7. One more failed co-presidency can’t […]

How cravenly stupid must David Ignatius be to think we’ll swoon at his wisdom?

It’s hard for anyone to take American power seriously when prominent members of Congress are declaring the war already lost.
Because our opponents would take us far more seriously if we just denied reality like…. David Ignatius!
Whose fault is this anyway?
Future military planners […]

Politically correct queenie County Supervisor Yvonne Burke spends most of her time living “absentee” in the toney “greenbelt” area of Brentwood where the Juice used to hang… elected and pretending to serve the po’ folks and crack hoes in the districts of South LA. A Hilla supporter, si senora! She says she will […]

Jesusfreaks dig freakysex!
Recent books and studies seem to indicate disturbing sexual trends among evangelical Christians. And this time we’re not talking about their pastors or political leaders. The new attention is on evangelical teenagers, who reportedly start sex earlier than their mainline Protestant peers.
Ask yourself, What would Gerson do?
It would be nice if teen sexual […]

That was my reaction yesterday after listening to Ed Schultz interview House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) about the prospect of the House initiating impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney. His answer (to paraphrase), “Congress has better things to do, besides the people will take care of this in 18 months by themselves. […]

Perusing yesterday’s LA Times report on Dianne Feinstein’s powerful endorsement of Mrs. Bill Clinton for POTUS 09 begs the question of whether the senior senator from California sees her junior counterpart as an “entitlement candidate” who can win by campaigning to unite our nation divided. Mrs. Clinton has already served as, at best, a […]

James Longenbach on poetry (h/t Reading Experience):
The strength of American poetry depends on the fact that hardly anybody notices it. To emerging poets, eager for an audience, this marginality may seem frustrating, but it is the source of their freedom. Because nothing is at stake except the integrity of their medium, poets may write about […]
