MoveOn Chuck
Dear Mr. Wolf, take off your sheep costume and produce your ACLU membership card. We know who you are.
It’s time for the (ahem) Republican Senator from Nebraska to cross the aisle and make it official.
On Fire
Peggy Noonan.
This week comes the previously careful Sen. Barack Obama, flapping his wings in Time magazine and explaining that he’s a lot like Abraham Lincoln, only sort of better. “In Lincoln’s rise from poverty, his ultimate mastery of language and law, his capacity to overcome personal loss and remain determined in the face of repeated [...]
Bloggers Post, MSM Listens
Kevin @ Blogs for Bush notes an article written by Tom Shales of the WaPo claiming that conservative bloggers may well have been the reason Bush’s speech to the nation was aired live on the major networks, and not pushed off to the ‘B’ team cable networks.
Live 8 Prophecy from the Walrus
A timely excerpt from David Sheff’s September 1980 Playboy interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Sheff Just to finish your favorite subject [the Beatles], what about the suggestion that the four of you put aside your personal feelings and regroup to give a mammoth concert for charity, some sort of giant benefit? Lennon I [...]
The Slope is No Longer Slippery
Canada will become the third country in the world to officially sanction same-sex marriage. Let the exodus begin.
Cutting the Tall Grass
That’s the title of the post put together by Dave @ Garfield Ridge. I know I said earlier that I would comment on Bush’s speech, but after reading Dave, I don’t have to. He’s got it right, so why repeat it. Head on over…

John Kerry uses the New York Times to give advice to the president.
Heh.
“Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged.” – Abraham Lincoln
It Takes a Village (Idiot)
Richard Cohen of the WaPo writes that the increasing sales of Ed Klein’s book about Hillary Clinton exposes the anti-Clinton people as village idiots of our time. He notes that ”it takes one to buy this book”.
As much of a liberal as I know Cohen is, this article is surprising–notwithstanding the title, his hate of and [...]
It’s Always Helped Me
Vitamin C gets a bad rap.
Another truism of personal health care — that vitamin C effectively prevents and treats the common cold — bites the dust.
New research, which reviews 65 years of data, concludes that there is no evidence that high doses of vitamin C ward off colds or lessen the symptoms — except in [...]
Like We Care
Ever since the wacko married his 8 year old daughter, does anyone give a rip about anything Woody Allen says anymore?
Princess ‘Toot’
I’m so tired of stories like this.
Diana, Princess of Wales, took cocaine and was worried it would kill her, according to new claims today.
Friend and confidante Simone Simmons makes the claim in her controversial book Diana: The Last Word, in which she also alleges the Princess had a relationship with John F Kennedy Jr.
In the [...]
