Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Lieberman unpopular among American Jews. As far as I can figure out, it’s either because of bigotry, a hatred or Israel, or the whole “he’s a massive tool” thing.
Conflict of interests
Monday, July 21st, 2008A convention swag bag with the AT&T logo? For real, Democrats?
Here’s a tip from the folks at the Republican Party, who have been doing this whole “corporate sellout” thing a lot longer and are a hell of a lot better at it: When accepting corporate sponsors who happen to have lobbied for reprehensible legislation which […]
Oh, if wishing made it so
Sunday, July 20th, 2008“We’re fucked.”
-An anonymous but prominent Republican strategist speaking about the whole Maliki can of worms.
Re-invasion becomes just regular invasion again
Saturday, July 19th, 2008Following up on my earlier post on McCain’s response to the whole Maliki thing, it looks like the campaign’s new official statement backs down from assertions that I guess they realized made them same practically homicidal.
Unfortunately for them, it looks like a hostile force invaded their press release and destroyed anything resembling coherency or honesty.
Invasion becomes re-invasion
Saturday, July 19th, 2008My ex-boss, unsurprisingly, has what I think is the smartest take on this whole “Maliki endorses Obama’s plan” thing. But since this is less a blog for that sort of policy analysis and more a blog for looking at the crazy shit people will say to the American public with a straight face, I want […]

The Republican Iraq strategy broke my brain
Friday, July 18th, 2008What the hell happened today? Up is down, black is white, McCain is scrabbling to appropriate and repurpose bits and pieces of Obama’s foreign policy. In other words, McCain wants to withdraw forces from Iraq and put them in Afghanistan.
But the two candidates still have totally different positions! See, Obama wants to retreat, based on […]
McCain’s extremely low high point
Friday, July 18th, 2008I feel a little guilty doing the whole “look at what shitty thing a prominent columnist wrote” thing at Netroots Nation when I could be going around doing cool stuff, but then again I also feel the compulsion to have new stuff up here if I bump into, like, Kos or someone and give him […]
Charles Krauthammer: Hate Goblin
Friday, July 18th, 2008Charles Krauthammer is angry for reasons that don’t make a lot of sense.
Barack Obama wants to speak at the Brandenburg Gate. He figures it would be a nice backdrop. The supporting cast — a cheering audience and a few fainting frauleins — would be a picturesque way to bolster his foreign policy credentials.
What Obama does […]
Bloggers are mean jerks who suck
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Man, is James Kirchick annoying. One would think that after being so thoroughly pimp-slapped by Matthew Yglesias, he would decide to take a short break from the Internet, or at least a short break from being infuriatingly smug, but instead he’s apparently decided to retaliate against the left-wing blogosphere with a Politico article that mixes […]
