Will you be my fluffy bunny?  Yours truly, The Creepy Dan 

Via Instapundit, Penn Jillette describes doing a nasty joke about the Hildabeast, and the (to him) surprising reaction from the crowd.  This strikes me as being about right.  As he notes, it’s an instant, honest reaction, as opposed to answering a poll where people have time to formulate an answer based on whatever agenda they have or what they think the pollster wants to hear.  Mind you, the audience is

Last night on FNC’s coverage of the Potomac Primaries, Dark Lord Karl Rove suggested that — contrary to the conventional wisdom — Sen. John McCain was already doing better among Republicans than his rivals were doing among Democrats. It turns out Rove said much the same thing Monday night on the O’Reilly Factor: O’REILLY: Now let’s go over to the Republican Party. It looks to be in disarray. Looks to be

I’m happier than you are, schmuck!  How do you like them apples? Most studies show that wealthy people are marginally happier than poor ones. People with pets or children are no happier than those without. People with active sex lives are — surprise! — happier than those without. No single morsel of happiness data, though, is more intriguing than this: Republicans are happier than Democrats. A 2006 Pew Research poll
