Thursday, January 24th, 2008Sigh. Could somebody please remind Clinton and Obama why all of their business cards say “United States Senator” on them? I get that they’re both campaigning to be leader of the free world and whatnot right now, but this is still a part of their job description:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will […]
Clinton is rubber; Obama, evidently, is glue
Thursday, January 24th, 2008Considering how ex-presidents get to be the elder statesmen of America, it’s kind of weird watching one of them throw all of that away and become a bloodthirsty parody of himself. In fact, it’s a little bit like watching that video of David Hasselhoff drunk - it’s all so wrong and you really have to […]
Another reason why Romney winning Florida would be funny
Thursday, January 24th, 2008All the other campaigns hate him.
No, like really, really hate him.
At the end of the Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire this month, when the Democrats joined the candidates on stage, Mitt Romney found himself momentarily alone as his counterparts mingled, looking around a bit stiffly for a companion.

The skiing’s great there too
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Alright, so maybe I was a little hard on the Congressional Democrats in my last post about them. After all, sometimes “the spirit of bipartisanship” isn’t why they cave. Sometimes it’s because they really really need a vacation. Here’s Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid:
We have to finish FISA this week. Everyone should be aware of […]
Ideas are tearing this country apart
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008I am absolutely disgusted with Obama’s recent GOP-baiting. Not only did he embrace GOP talking points by refusing to recognize President Clinton as the infallible, glowing beacon of truth that he is, he has no suggested that in recent history, Republicans have had ideas.
In response, the Clinton campaign has released an ad that had this […]
The spirit of bipartisanship
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008So if I understand House and Senate Democrats correctly, the spirit of bipartisanship does not mean a collective respect for the rule of law that transcends political parties.
What it does mean is looking the other way and whistling loudly when people from the opposing party violate the law.
The good news about this latest capitulation is […]
Healthcare versus tigers, and putting the fundamentalist back in fundraising
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Floridians are worried about whether or not they’ll be able to afford healthcare if they get sick. And tigers. As president of the United States, I promise to work to make healthcare available for everyone and single-handedly wrestle every single tiger that tries to escape its Zoo habitat. There’s nobody who will work harder to […]
Fred Thompson drops out, nation overwhelmed with indifference
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008Unfortunately, it looks like the powerful musk of manliness and constant cloud of testosterone that followed Fred Thompson from event to event Pigpen-style was not enough to make him a serious contender in the Republican race. His campaign died the way it lived: by barely registering on anyone’s radar for any reason.
In honor memoriam of […]
MLK Day
Monday, January 21st, 2008What could I possibly say about today that the man himself couldn’t say a thousand times better?
It’s called pulling a Huckabee
Monday, January 21st, 2008You might have missed this (via Carpetbagger Report) from a few days ago.
Giuliani mailing in Florida: “My belief in God and reliance on His guidance is at the core of who I am.”
Your first thought is probably: “Whoa, he’s still in the race?” Followed by: “I thought his core was made of molten hatred.” But […]
