Teabagging!

From today's mass teabagging in Lafayette Park:

Bump...

Okay, it's been a couple of months, which means it's time for me to post something. If nothing else, this will accomplish the feat of bumping the over-wide embedded Palin parody video down the page some. I'm not deleting it, though, since, well, I think it should stay there for posterity.

So what to write about? Well, a couple days ago a guy was shot in the head and killed around the corner from my house. I mean, it was 3:30 AM, but still...all the guy was doing was walking home from a bar. If it had been a couple hours earlier on a different night, man, that could've been me. Damn. Poor guy.

EDIT: for the record, I agree with Bill Simmons: it's a travesty that The Colonel James isn't on the youtubes. A travesty I say!

McCain Calls Hillary a Pig

Via Glennzilla:

Disgraceful, huh?

Uh, Palin?

Really? Palin?

Oh well, props to my friend Michael, who called this back in January:

Aside from being the hottest governor I have ever seen, she just might be the perfect running mate for the fascist twins Huckabee/Romney... just as evil and perfect for the soccer mom vote. What says change more than a neo-conservative woman as the VEEP? At 43, she's older than the last evil 'up and coming' Dan Quayle... you remember, that guy who hung out at the Naval Observatory during Iraqistan part 1 and got made fun of...

stats on Palin: 90% approval rating, lifetime NRA member, and pro-life. Scary.

My reply, which just shows what a bang-up job Team McCain did in vetting the governor:

Alaska is the home of the most corrupt political class north of Louisiana. I seriously doubt we'd ever see a national candidate from out of their current crop. Not sure if there are any skeletons in Gov. Palin's closet, but it wouldn't surprise me.

She *does* kinda have that Tina Fey thing going on, though, doesn't she?

So Many Lines To Cross, So Little Time

This literally makes me feel sick to my stomach:

Hillary Clinton today cited the assasination of Robert F. Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign to explain why she was remaining in the race despite long odds.

"We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California," Clinton told the editorial board of a South Dakota newspaper. " I don't understand it," Clinton added, alluding to the calls for her to quit.

At long last, have you no sense of decency, ma'am?
