This election, it seems to me that the other candidate has just discovered the importance of the Hispanic vote.

It seems like all of John McCain's attacks involve how Obama is running for President. Public financing, town halls, and now apparently his perceived demeanor towards the Hispanic voting bloc. Could there possibly be a worse election cycle for McCain to be using these process-based attacks? I'm certain that nobody cares about this stuff as much as McCain and his inner circle do.

Maybe if it took more than an hour to walk from anywhere in D.C. to Virginia, this would be true. As it is, the additional hurdle provided by the unavailability of handguns in the District was nothing compared to the hassle of illegally obtaining a gun. The 5th segment of this This American Life episode is a window into the world of how petty thieves get guns.

I think it's a distinct possibility that the handgun in question was not legal for the mugger to possess.

Do you think they ever say anything about Arabs at Joe Lieberman's synagogue? He continues to go to it, so if they do, we can be certain that he agrees with it.

Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck are universally recognized as clowns. They're not worth the whipped cream.

Don't you mean to say it took Hillary 502 days to give up on beating Obama? Obama couldn't have made her quit so it seems strange to put the active verb on him. And he had effectively won the election by the beginning of March. It's all been shades of windmill-tilting on Hillary's part since then.

This is excellent news, and a good reminder that if Hillary had won, Dean would be cleaning out his desk right now.

I hope it was just a tone intended to call up a last gasp of donations. Will she really still sound like this in a week or so when Obama is a hundred delegates past the magic number?

None of you is invisible to me. Some of you don't count, though.
