Clark Can’t Make Up Mind about Faith

Filed under Politics

We shouldn’t be surprised that Weasley Clark couldn’t make up his mind about whether he supported the war in Iraq or whether the Bush administration is doing a good job. He’s about as wavering on his Bush bashing as he is on his faith. This from the LA Times:
Clark, who supports abortion rights, was born […]

Stop the Insanity!

Filed under Economics
Comments Off

It’s bad enough that AmeriCorps even exists. Now, it’s got itself a budget increase. This is how bad the Bush administration is doing on domestic budget spending:
The money represents a $170 million increase over AmeriCorps’ 2003 budget. And it is at least $99 million more than either the House or the Senate had previously indicated […]

Dennis Not Just Done, Fried

Filed under Politics

Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s constituents should seriously question the sanity of their representative. Matthew Stinson points out that fictional characters have endorsed him for President. Yesterday, I swear I heard one of the cats say “Kucinich,” but that was probably just bad fish.

I’m Buyin’ Me a Star

Filed under Weblogging

Since TAM was shunned from Commonwealth of the Blogosphere States, I’m going to get a star named after me. I want it to be a big one, just about ready to go supernova. I’ll watch in glee as deadly TAM radiation pours across Reynoldssia and into Joyneria. It sure beats Michele’s (one L) measly plan […]

Serious Problems at Guantanamo

Filed under War
Comments Off

Now, a fourth person has been accused of security problems at Guantanamo. Col. Jack Farr, a reservist, is accused of “wrongly transporting classified material” and lying to investigators. At first glance, this doesn’t look as suspicious as Senior Airman Ahmad al-Halabi, who is accused of spying for Syria, or Army Captain James Yee, who received […]

First and Only Word on Paris

For those of you in need of more Paris Hilton info, I have none to offer. However, I have one bit of pithy analysis: next time you make a porn video skip the night vision and turn on the lights. The point is to see something, isn’t it.
This bit of traffic whoring was inspired by […]

Oh, I hope this technology is legit. Then the embryonic stem cell debate becomes moot.

TAM Still Not “Cool”

You know you’re still not one of the “cool kids” of the blogosphere when you don’t even get river on the Politburo’s map.

Black Friday

Filed under Economics

I made it through Black Friday without any injuries to me or customers. In fact, it didn’t seem as busy as it was (my boss was very pleased with the sales). I also know, that this is just the tip of the iceberg. My store has historically gotten busier the closer we get to Christmas.

I think Oliver and I agree on something.
Reagan having the guts to not abandon SDI in Reykjavik was braver than a secret flight to a military base.

How Much Can Glenn Bench?

Comments Off

Jay’s super-secret spies have gotten a hold the cover for Glenn Reynolds’ next book. In the comments, Jay and I are both wondering about his buffness. Glenn, have you been working out? Here’s a picture of Glenn and I at BloggerCon in October (I’m the short, very attractive guy).

It’s hard to tell anything from […]

Bush May Dump Steel Tariffs

Filed under Economics
Comments Off

It looks like some sense has come to the Bush administration on those stupid steel tarrifs.
Speculation mounted on Friday that Washington will scrap or roll back controversial steel tariffs after it sought and obtained an effective delay in retaliatory sanctions by countries opposed to them.

Officially, Washington wanted the delay because it had not been […]

Bush Bashing Prediction

Filed under Politics
Comments Off

Bush bashers’ cynicism is so predictable Matthew Stinson already knows what they would say:
I can see the blog posts now: “Bush’s memorial service is a PR stunt because he didn’t invite Democratic leaders. That makes it look like Bush cares more about honoring the military than Democrats.”
“Ending a Big Lie“

“The Ultimate Road Trip”

Filed under War

It takes a lot of guts for a President to pull off a secret mission to Baghdad. This wasn’t just going anywhere in the occupied country. No, President Bush flew into the heart of the Sunni Baathist Triangle to give the troops a big thank you and some much-deserved moral support. Because of the risk, […]
