    Them Librul’s Gonna Spend Up Our Tax Dollars In Darwinland!

    Snide, amusing article on Brian Baird’s planned trip to the Galapagos Islands regarding climate change:

    U.S. Rep. Brian Baird will lead a congressional tour of the Galapagos Islands beginning Friday. The 16-member group will travel via U.S. military jet to Quito, Ecuador’s capital, and tour the islands by charter boat, returning to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.

    Accompanying Baird, D-Vancouver, will be his wife, Rachel [...]



    Egomania and the Near Death of Grace

    Frank Rich of the NYT, in his article about the historic nature of Obama‘s ascendency to the Democratic Party nomination this week, points out that Obama is a new kind of politician in at least one subtle but extremely important way:

    Mrs. Clinton referred to herself by the first-person pronoun 64 times in her speech, and Mr. [...]



    they say that memory is the first thing to go

    But I have an inkling this is just more political assholery from the master flip-flopper himself:

    I’ve supported every investigation and ways of finding out what caused the tragedy. I’ve been here to New Orleans. I’ve met with people on the ground. I’ve met with the governor. I’m not familiar with exactly what you said, but I’ve been as active as anybody in [...]



    irony is truly dead

    Ships that are understood to have held prisoners include the USS Bataan and USS Peleliu.

    The Bataan? Are you kidding me? Committing war crimes on a ship named for the site of one of the biggest war crimes in the Pacific theater of World War II?

    As Paul Harvey says, here’s the rest of the story:

    The United States is operating “floating prisons” [...]



    just in time for the g.o.p. convention (because, as scotty says, war ain’t nuthin’ but a campaign tactic)

    The George W. Bush administration plans to launch an air strike against Iran within the next two months, an informed source tells Asia Times Online, echoing other reports that have surfaced in the media in the United States recently.

    Two key US senators briefed on the attack planned to go public with their opposition to the move, according to the source, but their projected [...]



    she can’t take yes for an answer

    Because she’ll still lose:

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A Democratic Party rules committee has the authority to seat some delegates from Michigan and Florida but not fully restore the two states as Hillary Rodham Clinton wants, according to party lawyers.

    Democratic National Committee rules require that the two states lose at least half of their convention delegates for holding elections too early, the party’s [...]



    lies, damned lies and clintonistics

    Former President Bill Clinton in South Dakota today delivered a harsh critique of how his wife has been treated during her presidential bid, telling the crowd that he has “never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running,” and that, “she will win the general election if you nominate her. They’re just trying to make sure you don’t.”

    Clinton spent more than [...]
