HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, but whatever you think of Obama and the death of bin Laden this editorial by Charles “Sauer” Krauthammer is magnificently poorly-timed:
it surely is an accurate description, from President Obama’s shocking passivity during Iran’s 2009 Green Revolution to his dithering on Libya, acting at the very last moment, and then handing off to a bickering [...]
It’s Getting Old.
I think everybody knows I’m pretty critical of the Obama administration, including this week’s “buck up/get over it” comments, but after a brief tour around the blogosphere today, I’m beginning to side with Joe Biden: jesus fucking christ, STOP WITH THE FUCKING WHINING.

Continued Blogcation
I’m still on blogcation, and it’s kind of awesome.
David Brooks wrote some truly idiotic shit this morning. I read about it at OTHER blogs, but refused to pollute my own mind with his shit-smearings, saving myself the outrage necessary to respond to it.

I should be with her right now
Cold sheets of rain pouring down is my love safe and warm
Where is she sleeping now
Cold sheets of rain pouring [...]
Christine Flowers is RIGHT! (With Exceptions)
In which I wholeheartedly endorse a column by the shame of Philadelphia:
The party is better off without him.
Specter is a weather vane, yielding to the strongest political wind. While he considers himself a “maverick” like his friend John McCain, the truth is that our senior senator is an opportunist.
Or, in his lexicon, a “moderate.”
Moderates say [...]

Five years ago today, Andy Card and Alberto Gonzales rushed to John Ashcroft’s ICU room to try to trick him into signing the re-authorization for George Bush’s illegal wiretap program over Jim Comey’s objections. Jim Comey arrived at the hospital in time to prevent Card and Gonzales from succeeding.
