Keith Ellison hearts MoveOn

26 September 2007

From The Hill:
The House on Wednesday passed by a wide margin a resolution that condemns an ad from liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org that referred to Gen. David Petraeus as “General Betray Us.”
Republican leaders had been calling for congressional action since the ad first ran in The New York Times ahead of Petraeus’s testimony on the […]

You say you want your story to remain untold

26 September 2007

Al Franken takes to the Strib pages, whining that Norm Coleman is actually trying to draw distinctions between them in a campaign for a Senate seat:
I guess now it’s my turn to be attacked. I’ve been to Iraq four times to visit our troops; I know the incredible sacrifice our men and women in uniform […]

Fava beans and a nice Chianti

My dinner with Ahmadinejad.

No truer words

Why I Have A Little Crush on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

I know I’m a Jewish lesbian and he’d probably have me killed.  But still, the guy speaks some blunt truths about the Bush Administration […]

Jackson to Obama: that’s mighty white of you

19 September 2007

Jackson criticizes Obama. (Emphasis mine)
Jackson sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for “acting like he’s white” in what Jackson said has been a tepid response to six black juveniles’ arrest on attempted-murder charges in Jena, La. Jackson, who also lives in Illinois, endorsed Obama in March, according to The Associated Press.
“If I […]

Hear Her Roar!

19 September 2007

I was never a regular visitor to Michelle Malkin’s site, but the last few times I have gone there I have not been disappointed.  Today there was another example when she posted her column of the week for TownHall.com.  Her column is a response to the embarrassment that is Sally Field.
[Emphasis mine.]
Contrary to […]

The hottest show north of Havana

17 September 2007

Barry Manilow is afraid of The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck. 

Answer: five

17 September 2007

The question, as always with Garrison Keillor’s columns, is how many paragraphs does it take for him to take a gratuitous swipe at the Current Occupant. In his latest stew of bitterness and anger:
Mine is not a tragic life that I’m aware of, though a few months ago I was trapped next to a talkative […]

Paging Harry Turtledove

Sylly Jones

13 September 2007

Syl Jones today, using Larry Craig as the nearest cudgel with which to beat the “values crowd”:
What I don’t understand is why those who are crying for compassion over this guy don’t realize that they’re enabling his sick behavior. Let’s just stop him before he squats again.
Harsh, judgmental words, I’ll admit, and it’s not nice […]

Spinning tales

12 September 2007

With this week’s briefings with Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker, we were treated to the spectacle of Democrats actually rejecting good news from Iraq. Last year Iraq did nearly unravel, as the Ambassador said, but a change of strategy and the incredible hard work in dangerous environments by our military has greatly changed the situation on […]

Little putzians

10 September 2007

I hope the gentle reader will excuse me for dwelling on these and the like particulars, which, however insignificant they may appear to groveling vulgar minds, yet will certainly help a philosopher to enlarge his thoughts and imagination, and apply them to the benefit of public as well as private life…

Hsu’s Cash Is That?

29 August 2007

A bundle of trouble for Democrats?
Tom Everist is not a name familar to almost any American but quickly became one of the most sought after political figures in South Dakota.  Everist, a Sioux Falls funeral director, made bylines (but not quite headlines) as one of George W. Bush’s many 2004 “Rangers” - people who raised […]

Congress to Investigate Low Poll Numbers

22 August 2007

In case anyone wondered why Congress is polling lower than a midget stripper comes today’s Hotline:
“Maybe it’s even more important than legislation.”
– House Oversight Chair Henry Waxman (D-CA), on Congress’ investigative powers, AP, 8/22

I bet she’s allowed to vote, too

17 August 2007

On the drive in this morning, I flipped past C-SPAN on my XM radio. Brian Lamb was talking to a woman with a Southern accent. The conversation went like this (I paraphrase from memory):
Woman: They’re all just out for money.
Lamb: Who’s out for money?
Woman: Bush and Cheney and the corporations.
Lamb: And what do they plan […]

The end of a dream is the same as waking up

17 August 2007

It is a rare thing when left leaners reevaluate their values. From The Moderate Voice:
For a long time, I’ve defended Hugo Chavez. I thought that he was fighting a worthy battle against greed and corruption, against years of foreign domination and cronyism. I thought he was trying to improve the lives of poor people, while […]

Let the delousing begin

15 August 2007

Apparently when 12 or so miscreants congregate at Michele Bachmann’s St. Cloud office it becomes newsworthy: (emphasis mine)

“I just don’t see how she can justify continuing to vote in support of the war,” said Carol Nieters, a St. Cloud resident and member of the Service Employees International Union on leave from the St. Cloud school […]

The Peace Train Stalls in the Station

14 August 2007

Already detached from the media engine that propelled it, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan’s increasingly makeshift “Peace Train” appears ready to fall completely off the tracks.
With the “Mom de la Mancha” making good her ballyhooed threat to emerge from retirement to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sheehan’s naive foray into protesting Washington from inside the […]

Unintended Consequences

13 August 2007

I’m sure that when they wrote the 1998 Gun Control Act in Massachusetts, they had no reason to believe that it may lead to a reduction in firearm licenses by 25%. I mean, it’s all about reasonable gun control and getting guns out of the hands of criminals, right? That must mean the […]

How do people get this way?

12 August 2007

The Sunday Star Tribune carried this column from G. Keillor, that “Old Scout.” It was about the 35W bridge. (Though, Keillor uses the words “I” or “me” or “my” nine times in the first sentence. Funny, I didn’t think this terrible accident was all about Keillor.)
In true form, it didn’t take this Cynicism badge holder […]
