I love Republicans. Really. They are perfect in their awfulness so reliably often.

Obama is not going to decapitate McCain. This video will decapitate him.

I have held off blogging on substance for a while. So much of my life seems claimed and counter-claimed by opposing forces looking to jam my time, steal it, scrape it, BS me out of an hour here and a half hour there for no good reason. I remain impatient that my apartment cannot easily accommodate my alternative lifestyle, to wit: present Daddy two days a week, quasi-half-assed bachelor nobody for the other twelve. But at least I am keeping it clean, orderly and safe for the little fellows.

Charleston (WV) Gazette, May 19, 2008:

Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., endorsed Barack Obama for president shortly after noon today, focusing on his hope to end the Iraq War.

"As people all across this great nation know, I have been one of the most outspoken opponents of the Bush administration's misguided war in Iraq and its saber rattling around the globe," Byrd said.

He said he had "no intention of involving myself in the Democratic campaign for President in the midst of West Virginia's primary election. But the stakes this November could not be higher."

The "you" of "Obama's just not that into you" is, more or less, the more enthusiastic sector of the liberal blogosphere, particularly at Daily Kos, where Hillary Clinton can barely find a public supporter at this point.

I can just see this dangerous militant selling bean pies for Louis Farrakhan at the corner of Wabash and Northern Parkway in Baltimore.

Speak it, Josh:

Ferraro is a "media assassin" who took the wrong caliber bullets to the "hit." She needs to call Bill Donohue at the Catholic League, have him teach a tutorial on Media Assassin 101. But in a way, she has reminded ethnically identified "white" Democratic voters in Pennsylvania to show up like they did in neighboring Ohio and vote down the big. bad, unfair Negro. Hillary should ship a bottle case of gin to the good servant done well.

H/T to Eric Luedtke at FSP.

He says "Great Whore" as if it were a criticism. I don't get it.

Christ on a saltine, we are a miserable, immature nation.

A take-off from the Anonymous v. Scientology story from last week.

Earlier this week, I commented about the McCain/Iseman story that made liberal commentators effervesce for a couple of days. I thought it was a bit of a nothing-burger, dog-bites-man story. Then again, I never bought into the idea of John McCain as really being "above" dirty politics, as the clean, sterile kind has not yet been invented anyway.
