  • Camp 7 at Gitmo and the Dems

    In the Ap piece on the confirmation of a double-secret probation camp called Camp 7, there were some rather odd remarks from a Col. Vargo quoted:"Not everybody, even within the Joint Task Force, has access or even knowledge of where...more »

  • I recall watching Firing Line for many years and enjoying the civilized debate and his use of language.

    But I think comparing him to the "modern conservative movement" is like comparing Lawrence Spivak to Tim Russert.

  • I have to admit that while I was devising political correctness, I did think briefly to myself, “hey, maybe Camille Paglia will get a career out of this,” because she was quite obscure at the time and I thought it might give her a boost. I am so, so very sorry I ever had that thought.

    Hey! I always thought Camille Paglia was hotter than this lady...

  • *sigh*

    If only all our "permanent records" had been lost in the switch, you could have found out how an immigrant 70 year old Italian greengrocer from Harlem could have ended up in a terrorist database....

    *sigh*

    Call me Al, Mister Answer Man. I have some nagging questions about who pays the healthcare bill for Republicans that are involved in hit and run bus accidents.

    Your Pal,

  • Wow.

    All this time I had been searching the innertubes for answers to these same questions!

    Thanks, Mister Answer Man!

  • With Hart, as I remember, the affair was a current ongoing thing, and it was possible to come up with some photos of the Senator and his lady friend aboard the good ship Hanky Panky or whatever it was.

  • Two Words:

    Newt Gingrich

    Last year Newt laid out his plan to be "swept" into office when the Republicans had rejected the intentioned candidates.

    This is the "steering" wheels of the bus hitting McCain. The "driving" wheels won't be far behind.

    Newt's surrogates will begin knocking on the door shortly after that....

  • I wonder if the judge will let him keep that patriotic, "Support the Troops" camo cummerbund and tie.

  • Since my family and friends have known for quite some time that I'm, uhh, a bit outspoken politically, they are used to my rants against this type of BS. When McCain was savaged in South Carolina, I stood up for him (!), well, just because that type of "negative campaign" (isn't it just great that our political consultant establishment has homogenized racist, sexist, fightin' word slurs into an approved tactic!) demeans the entire political process.

    But I can only reach those I know. How many other's have gotten these forwards from someone they trust, and believe them?

    Again, IMHO, it's Garbage In, Garbage Out. If your candidate is spewing garbage, voters can rest assured that they will be next in line if that candidate is elected.

  • The surrogates are already attacking in Ohio.

    Friends are forwarding the emails circulating now, showing pictures of an Obama headquarters (unnamed, except for Obama posters and signs, but highlighting the "Che Guevara" poster on the wall. All the usual memes about not covering his heart with his hand or refusing to mouth the pledge of allegiance because "he's one of them mooslims that wants to turn our great country over to Islamofascists" carries some weight in the "beer and bowling" belt of Ohio.

    The damage that these (most probably) unofficial surrogates will do in the name of their candidate will make her sense of desperation palpable to most, while feeding the intolerant few that will probably end up (IMHO) sitting out or voting for McCain.
