Punchline
What do you call a girl who’s only sex ed has been “abstinence education”.
A: Pregnant
B: Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter
C: All of the above.
A McCain campaign official tells ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that McCain knew of Bristol’s pregnancy and “didn’t believe Governor Palin should be disqualified” from the vice presidency because of it. “If [...]
Not So Excited
I can’t speak for others, but I am decidedly not excited about the Democratic Convention in Denver.
Sure, I want the Democrats to win in November, but only because the alternative is SO much worse. Still, when I see footage of AT&T’s big party for the Blue Dog Democrats and the selection of Joe “Forfeiture” [...]
The Denver Police Are Going to get their City Sued. A Lot.
Via atrios, Time reports that the Denver police are setting their city up for some lawsuits:
The Denver Police Department “is asking all police, ambulance and fire personal to be on the lookout for stock piles and caches of supplies that could be used by violent demonstrators at the up coming Democratic National Convention [sic],” according [...]
I’m Beginning to Think Max Blumenthal is an Idiot
UPDATE BELOW (and partly re-written thanks to the #@%% server crashing and losing half my text)
I’m not one to go after other lefty bloggers, but Max Blumenthal’s Toby Keith diatribes are becoming more than a little much to take without mockery.
I think it’s long been accepted in the blogsphere that bloggers really aren’t responsible [...]
Priceless
President Bush has a second career awaiting him as a comedian:
Condemning as unacceptable what he called Russia’s “bullying and intimidation,” President Bush on Friday said Russia must withdraw its troops from all of Georgian territory and said the United States would stand with Georgia in the conflict.
“Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected,” [...]
The New York Times Stamps Its Impotent Little Foot
Here’s a hoot of an editorial in the Times Russia Takes Gori:
Europe and the United States must make clear to Mr. Medvedev — and the real power player, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin — that more aggression and lies will not be tolerated. They must make clear that Russia will pay a price, in diplomatic standing [...]
Department of No DOY.
Russia’s blitz into the former Soviet republic of Georgia has exposed starkly the limits of US military power and geopolitical influence in the era following the invasion of Iraq.
Georgia is one of the closest US allies in Eastern Europe. President Mikheil Saakashvili has visited the White House three times in the last four years. Yet [...]
Someone Go Find Some Pearls for Max Blumenthal to Clutch.
It’s rare that I criticize a fellow lefty, but this article by Max Bluemnthal tagging Toby Keith as a lynching advocate is hysterical. And I don’t mean that in the “extremely funny” sense of the word.
Last week, I reported for the Huffington Post that country singer Toby Keith had performed a pro-lynching anthem on the [...]
Capital One Comes Calling.
Well, I knew it was bound to happen eventually: a few years back I closed my Capital One account, because in the wake of the Bankruptcy Reform Bill of 2005, they decided it was reasonable to charge me 20% interest and hit me with as many fees as possible, and now Capital One has sent [...]

Maureen Dowd does her same old boring routine again. This time, instead of calling Obama a girl, she says he’s the hero of a “chick-lit” novel.
Maureen Dowd is a very silly person, with some serious daddy issues. Maybe that explains why she’s never been able to find a man who actually wants to [...]
