I think Obama just ate David Brooks’ lunch, cus Brooksie is cryyyyyyying.
We must close the book on the bleeding wounds of the old politics of division and sail our ship up a mountain of hope and plant our flag on the sunrise of a thousand tomorrows with an American promise that will never die! [...]
Comedy. F-ing. GOLD.
Watch the whole thing as a local FOX affiliate “reporter” Griff Jenkins (love love love that name) tries to interview “far left protestors”. It starts with someone telling Griff to “fuck off” and gets better from there. Awesome. Watch Griff plead “Awww, c’mon that’s not necessary!”

All You Need to Know About Christine Flowers
From today’s stool sample:
WITH everything else happening in the world, I probably shouldn’t have an opinion about Brett Favre.
Even if there weren’t a presidential election, two wars, a recession and Lindsay Lohan’s sexual orientation to worry about…
OK. stop right there. The election, the wars, the recession I get. But why does anyone not intimately [...]
Maureen Dowd Does Her Trick Again
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.

America’s Press Corps: Whiney Babies
Everyone else seems to be writing about this lovely example of journalists who are crybaby diaperpants, so I’ll pile on too.
Adam “Adnags” Nagourney, a well known hack with an agenda, made a pee-pee in his diapers because he was crying so hard after the Obama campaign scolded him for (what else) trafficking in misinformation.
Around midnight [...]
Call Me Classless…
… but after returning from a bluegrass festival and seeing the outpouring of grief over Tim “Pumpkinhead” Russert and calls for civility, I’m wondering what the big deal is.
The guy was a classic example of the banality of evil, a fat backslapping bloviator who was probably a nice guy, but who was also Dick Cheney’s [...]
LTE: Bill Kristol is a Hypocrite
Nepotism hire William Kristol takes Barack Obama to task for not exhorting college graduates to serve in the military (What Obama Left Out, NYT 6/2/08).
It is understandable that Mr. Kristol is looking for more cannon fodder to serve in the wars he so gleefully looks forward to starting. After all, thanks to Iraq, a war [...]
Excuses, Excuses
