Black Kids Are Kids, Too
I headed over to Townhall this morning, in much the same way you go the long way to rubberneck at the accident you heard about on the radio. Wait, I’m the only one who does that? Well, it was theoretical anyway…not that I’d ever do it…gotta finish this post up,…
It’s almost as if I dusted off an earlier half-post and shoved it into the frame of current events
It’s not that I get blocked, really, so much as I don’t always take the time to apply the correct kind of thought to this or that article or blog post to decide whether I can sustain enough opinion to write a blog post about it. And then every once…
Hey, Mama, I Done Self-Fulfilled A Prophecy!
Michael F. Cannon and Ramesh Ponnuru write an article called “You Mislead!”, which is apparently the NRO method of sympathizing with Joe Wilson, two weeks late and with a lot more lying. You see, they’re going to “fact check” Obama’s healthcare speech, which is so full of terrible, glaring missteps…
Kristol Was Checking His Blackberry In Spirit
So, on the eve of what’s predicted to be a potential epidemic of swine flu, increasing unemployment, rising numbers of uninsured, underinsured and medical bankruptcies, Bill Kristol has pissy-pants over the fact that Obama didn’t call Congress together to go to war. So President Obama invited himself into our living…
It’s suggested that Jonah Goldberg is not the only person alive; wingnuts skeptical
It’s early and I don’t quite have the mental acuity yet to deal with Obama’s speech, so I’m going to deal with the right wing reaction right now. In sum, it appears to be, “I can’t fucking BELIEVE that these stupid Democrats think anyone but me is a human being…
I always wanted reporters to ask me about that, but the only other option was to be a porn star
Even at my most cynical, I would have not predicted that people would be brandishing weapons and threatening Obama 9 months out from the inauguration. I figured it was either at inauguration or years out, depending on how they mustered their courage. And frankly, the latter seemed more likely, because…
Do not underestimate how much of right wing politics is about self-titillation
I’m going to choose to believe Ezra is being a little obtuse on purpose to start a discussion here, in talking about how stupid a conspiracy theory the birther thing is: As I understand it, the argument here is that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, but that his mother…
Class and race again: brewskies and jungle monkeys
So today the President will sit down with Skip Gates and his arresting officer, Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge PD to have a beer. A lot of Internet bandwidth and airwave time have been spent dealing with trivialities, such as who is consuming which brand of beer (Obama a…
A pictures speaks a thousand words, none of them true
Hey, have you seen that picture of Barack Obama checking out the young woman’s ass? No. No, you haven’t. There is no such picture, because that’s not what was happening. Yesterday, bloggers on the right, from Ed Morrissey to Ann Althouse, gleefully posted pictures of Obama (and Sarkozy) purportedly staring…
Sally Kern on Obama’s radical homo agenda (?!) and her Proclamation of Morality
Are they living in some alternate reality than the rest of us? Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern (sallykern@okhouse.gov) the homo-hating, illegal pistol-packing bigot caught The Peter’s eye with this diatribe about this “proof” of the Obama admin’s godless homosexualism: The homosexual agenda is only one symptom of the real problem…
