John Hawkins has a stronger stomach than I and regularly visits the Daily Kos. There he found a poll showing Kossacks are big backers of the draft as long as “cowardly Republicans who cheer the war but refuse to fight in it” are sent. It’s the chickenhawk non sequitur version 238. The smear is as [...]
What’s with crazy people in Wisconsin with swords?
A drunk samurai sword-wielding man seeking revenge on a former friend had the wrong apartment when he attacked a man and severed the victim’s pinky finger Sunday morning, police said.
Officers said the 24-year-old assailant was so drunk on his way to the apartment at 49th Street and [...]
Sally Kohn, the Kossite who thought Ahmadinejad “looks cuddly,” was on John Gibson’s radio show telling him her post was satire. Her point was that even though Ahmadinejad hates Jews and homosexuals he sounds great because his rhetoric was better than President Bush. The Iranian autocrat talking about poverty and injustice–except when it comes against [...]
It’s a sad day for 24 fans:

The 40-year-old actor was pulled over at around 1:10 a.m. in western Los Angeles, after officers spotted him making an illegal U-turn, said Officer Kevin Maiberger. He [...]
The rightroots push for Jim Ogonowski has gone well. So well that Patrick Ruffini wants to up the goal from 100 contributors to 150 by tomorrow night at midnight. Come on, guys. $4,848 from 88 donors is great. Let’s do better and help give a blue-state Republican a chance to steal a House seat from [...]
Even in D.C. I’m not immune to viruses. Something has been floating around the office. A man who works two cubicles from me was out a few days with a bug. Yesterday, I started having a sore throat. It continues today with an added “bonus:” I’m going through tissues the way Democratic Presidential candidates go [...]
Tacky:
A spokeswoman for Rudy Giuliani says it is unfortunate that a supporter throwing a party that aims to raise $9.11 per person for the Republican’s presidential campaign is asking for that amount.
Abraham Sofaer is having a fundraiser at his Palo Alto, Calif., home on Wednesday, when Giuliani backers across the country are participating in the [...]

Robert Bluey and David Freddoso both were disappointed with Fred Thompson’s speech in Michigan this past weekend. Bluey called it a “boring and uninspiring speech that was more appropriate for someone running for president of the Rotary Club rather than president of the United States.” Freddoso said Fred needs to “speak with a bit more [...]
It’s no where as close as “Don’t tase me, bro”–and it doesn’t fit on a t-shirt, but Scott Ott’s humor hits the spot.

Bob Bauer, lawyer to Sen. Obama’s Presidential campaign and an expert on campaign law, describes the bind the NY Times is now in:
The campaign finance laws that the Times has so righteously championed have, by its own admission, trapped the paper in a violation. A salesperson got the rate wrong, and though the [...]
Rep. Paul Ryan gets the cover of The Weekly Standard as one of the “Young Guns” of the House GOP. Duncan Currie’s is all about Ryan’s efforts at reforming health care without socializing it. He voted for the Medicare prescription drug entitlement because it opened the door to health savings accounts (HSAs). He has bolder [...]
Here we have example #32938 for why you shouldn’t read the Daily Kos for serious discussion. “sallykohn” utters her crush on Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. She goes so far as to call him “cuddly,” this despite her acknowledgment that he’s into the “locking up dissidents, executing of gay folks, denying the fact of the Holocaust, [...]
Tony was one of the best characters on 24. I was amazed, shocked, and bummed when he was part of the killing spree (even though he didn’t die right away) at the beginning of season five. While we thought he later died he’s coming back for season seven:
Howard Gordon, executive producer of FOX’s thriller “24,” [...]
