I can’t believe the guy was ever proclaimed a hero.  “Democrat Opposes War!” is hardly news, even when the Democrat in question is a fat, ugly old white guy who opposes abortion and flag burning and who fought in Vietnam.
But that’s going to be his epitaph, in terms of how he’s remembered: the Democrat who [...]

Barack Obama is toying with a dubious distinction, that he might shortly be a worse president than Bush.
I’m certainly not in a calm state of mind as I write that, but I believe it to be true.  Of course, for sheer idiocy and embarrassment, only a President Palin could out-hustle Bush.  But Obama’s catastrophic mishandling [...]

Jed Lewison, DK’s compiler of video clips, might honestly be one of those rare bloggers who sits in the basement snacking in pajamas all day.  This really sucks.

That is supremely boring (whatever; don’t even watch it, although it does have Man Who Looks Like an Old Lesbian Lindsey Graham), as it basically documents only the [...]

It’s been 7 1/2 months since he won the election.  I think it’s time to take down posters from the window and get rid of anything with that blue-sunrise O rising over the red quilted Kansas field motif.  (Bumper stickers get a reprieve, because they’re such a bitch to remove).
During a campaign, it’s important to [...]

I’ve never really understood the venerable position he has always automatically assumed.  Contentless bloviations extolling the virtuous fantasies of non- or post-partisanship have always coalesced around Bloomberg, as if he represents the triumph of technocratic pluck over squabbling.  What a load of shit.
There were two mentions of him in the Week in Review section of [...]

I missed this the other day.  Odious reptile Lanny Davis, who was one of Hillary Clinton’s top advisers in her presidential bid, amplified the conservative fallacy that Sonia Sotomayor is somehow a radical racist.
“She misspoke,” said Lanny Davis, a White House lawyer and spokesman for President Bill Clinton. “Every day that goes by that they [...]

Seriously.  Who buys this? If someone built a toxic waste facility in the South Bronx that cost $210 million, that’s the same amount of money, and some steadier jobs thrown in on top.  Similarly, if you tear down Bushwick, Brooklyn and build a park, you will cause undue consternation and extract lots of money from [...]

Bill in Portland Maine (or BiPM to those in the know) has a series where he “grills” the front page editors and subsequently the prominent diarists on Daily Kos, including questions about whether they prefer dogs or cats and what they like to cook.  I do think BiPM is pretty funny sometimes, so I’m not [...]
