If all this makes no sense, then start here. It’s funny enough without the pile-on. But the pile-on is pretty good too.
“Income?” “Profits?” Isn’t that stuff just liberal propaganda?
Extending credit to Hillary Clinton
The $8.7 million in debts owed by Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign as of her last Federal Election Commission filing deadline are staggering for their breadth and range.
The debts date back to last Fall, to states long ago decided — an October 10 event in New Hampshire,for instance, for which the Boston […]
Whimsley: Mr. Google’s Guidebook
Whimsley Hall is now strewn, like Miss Haversham’s house, with cobwebs and dust. Most visitors no longer come in by the front door to take a tour. Instead, Mr. Google (a travel agent who doubles as our butler) directs them straight down to the basement where the family archives are kept and […]
This is getting good. Now Ralph Nader is encouraging Hillary to stay in the race. Heh. Jake Tapper wondered if The Onion was scripting this stuff.
Don’t Listen to Senator Leahy — Ralph Nader for President in 2008
Senator Clinton:
Just read where Senator Patrick Leahy is calling on you to drop out of the Presidential race.

Meet the Obama Doctrine by Dean Barnett at the Weekly Sub-Standard:
The problem with having idealists form your foreign policy is that idealists tend not to care for the grotty details that upset their world view. [Samantha] Power is (or rather was) just one of the high-minded Doctrinaires whose résumé evidences a certain fondness for dovish […]
The Compact OED, which answers every question (related to English word usage over time) imaginable. For example, did people use straw (i.e. dried bits of grass) in the same way we use manufactured those little paper or plastic drinking tubes of the same name? Since paper straws were first manufactured in the 1880’s, […]
We will capture Baghdad. Absolutely.
U.S. Armor Forces Join Offensive In Baghdad Against Sadr Militia
U.S. forces in armored vehicles battled Mahdi Army fighters Thursday in Sadr City, the vast Shiite stronghold in eastern Baghdad, as an offensive to quell party-backed militias entered its third day. Iraqi army and police units appeared to be largely […]
WHEREAS:
We are stuck in Iraq with no realistic possibility of getting the Hell out or “winning” (in any, ordinary, English-language sense of the word).
WHEREAS:
As time goes on, and we adopt various strategies, the latest being The Surge, whatever happens in Iraq is claimed to demonstrate the success of the strategy du monde, to wit: “violence […]
I make this forecast with 100% certainty. We 1 will capture Basra.

Open Left:: Barack Obama For President
Barack Obama has become the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Chris Bowers is one of the bigwigs of the Netroots.
The reality is beginning to sink in, to more and more people, beyond committed Obamaniacs. Obama will be the Democratic nominee.
Meanwhile, on Planet Clinton, James Fallows reports:
Based on Marc Ambinder’s report, the […]
Do not think of what Hillary Clinton is doing as a political campaign; it’s art.
Performance art: part Richard Nixon, part Harold Stassen, part Christo, part Nicholson’s Joker, part bullfight, 1 part Tonya Harding.
Of course she is not going to win the nomination. And, while the extended run of the 20 year Bill & Hillary Show […]
Western Antarctic ice chunk collapses
A chunk of Antarctic ice nine times the size of Manhattan has suddenly collapsed, putting an even larger glacial area at risk.
Kurt Vonnegut was not available for comment.
No.
No thank you.
Definitely not. Not on your life.
