Holy Joe: Alito's my guy now

Why doesn't McCain just go ahead and name Lieberman his Veep now, since the Connecticut senator has now declared his 2006 vote against SCOTUS nominee Samuel Alito was wrong. George Will spoke to Holy Joe's office and said this on This Week:

Potemkim PUMAs

I was behind on my blog reading, but I was stoked to see that Shark-Fu was on NPR's "Tell Me More" debating, of all people, Darragh Murphy. Shark-Fu has a post breaking down what happened, and let's just say it was bizarre and that her take on it was perfect. Shark didn't know about Murphy's single campaign donation to McCain in 2000---a donation that calls into question whether or not she is a loyal Democrat as stated---and explains that Murphy's cover story is a little bizarre.

The Unifying Theory Of Soros

imageIs there any nefarious scheme that George Soros isn't involved in? Besides, of course, the plank of Obama's platform to bring Scribble Jam to the White House lawn. That's pure Blackazoid, right there.

DNS-ONE

As fun as it is to pore over what URLs mean as it regards Obama's veep pick, this massively in-depth analysis misses one thing - a new veep site will go up at Obama's current page. The Obama[Veep]08.com URL will just forward to the Obama homepage. There's not even necessarily a need, other than wanting the branding upfront, to have the URL tomorrow. It can easily be bought from any number of domain squatters, bastard fuckers that they are, and forwarded over the weekend just in time to launch the new website at the convention (say, Wednesday night after the VP choice speaks).
