McCain: "I Want To Find Clones Of Roberts And Alito"

February 28, 2008

Let's review Chief Justice John Robert's tender and caring feelings for the plight of the wealthy and powerful.
Today, from Dana Milbank of the Washington Post….

Certain About The Uncertainty

February 28, 2008

Funny thing happened while cutting and pasting today's comments from Bush about the economy.
Let's look at Bush's nonsense first…..

"So we're still for a strong dollar."

We Just Can't Tell You How Offended We Are

February 27, 2008

You know how the mainstream teevee media, on a daily basis, brazenly uses pictures and mindless, insignificant stories about Paris, Lindsey, Brittney and the like? The very serious, moral values loving, teevee media members remind Americans nightly about how bad-and-immoral-and-loose-and-irresponsible these young and attractive women are.
All of those media folks who bleat out the [...]

Lies That Can't Take Truth For An Answer

February 25, 2008

UPDATED BELOW
It's to be expected. It would be a shock if it didn't happen. A wildly popular upstart with an odd name drawing huge crowds and winning primaries by the handfuls over a brand name opponent, necessitates it.

AB Journal: "No We Can't"

February 24, 2008

Predictably, the Akron Beacon Journal endorsed Hillary Clinton this morning for the Democratic presidential candidacy. Something that was fully expected by this blogger. The editorialists that opine in the Beacon are basically status quo establishment thinkers, so endorsing Clinton over Obama is no surprise.
This is the same editorial board, don't forget, who endorsed Mike [...]

Newsweek via Dan Froomkin….
"USA 193 (9-11 plane that crashed in PA), weighing around 5,000 pounds, is the size of a school bus. But . . . [t]hree-quarters of the earth's surface is water. Ninety-five percent is uninhabited. Suppose USA 193's debris were to cover a few square miles, which is a plausible [...]

Obama Speaks Clearly About Surge

February 22, 2008

Immediately following up on John King's "isn't the surge in Iraq working and weren't you wrong", question to Hillary Clinton last night in the CNN debate, Campbell Brown posed the same question to Barack Obama.
To silly, yet very serious, Knee Pad Media members, John McCain's Son of Surge grandstanding is just the awesomest. Those [...]
