A serr8d joint.

Demon horn, calciferous, shaped like dreidel.  Sentimental value.  Reward, no questions asked.

Failed GOP presidential candidate Bob Dole has written a letter to either scold or reach out to Rush Limbaugh regarding Sen. John McCain’s quest for the presidential nomination, depending on which page of the Politico you read. There is no indication this was prompted by Camp McCain, but can Dole (or McCain) be so fantastically dim as to be unaware of the McCain-Dole comparisons already being made by people like

Having already criticized some of the apologies offered for Sen. John McCain today, I note the following (via Dan) from the Boston Globe: The subsidized insurance program at the heart of the state’s healthcare initiative is expected to roughly double in size and expense over the next three years – an unexpected level of growth that could cost state taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars or force the state to

Marc Ambinder is getting a bit nitpicky with Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe.  In a Super-Duper Tuesday memo, Plouffe wrote: Our path to the nomination never factored in a big day for us on February 5. Rather, we always planned to stay close enough in the delegate count so that we could proceed to individually focus on the states in the next set of contests. Ambinder retorts: I’m sorry.

In the Boston Globe, Jeff Jacoby promotes the candidacy of Sen. John McCain by running down the legacy of Ronald Reagan: Conservatives bristle at the thought of a Republican president who might raise income and payroll taxes. Or enlarge the federal government instead of shrinking it. Or appoint Supreme Court justices who are anything but strict constructionists. Or grant a blanket amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Now, I don’t

…to Maggie and RTO for the Croupier birthday DVD. I’m a big fan of Clive Owen, not the least because he’s so moody. Seriously. The dude drips angst like a Robert Smith eyeliner catastrophe. Oh. And for those of you interested, yes, the calcified portion of one of my ribs continues to poke from my back, a misplaced demon horn, an angry Yahweh’s dradel tip of bone pain. So I’m

I don’t recall electing her, but Crooks & Liars says it’s true, so it must be: Ann Coulter speaks for the base of the GOP, but apparently organizers of the Conservative Political Action Committee have decided not to invite her to speak at this years convention. She was quite the hit last year with her derogatory comment about John Edwards, but all good things must come to an end. More

Bill Kristol writes in the New York Times: The prospect of John McCain as the likely Republican presidential nominee has produced a squall of anger on the right. Normally reserved columnists and usually ebullient talk-radio hosts vie to express their disgust with McCain, and their disdain for the Republicans who are about to nominate him. The conservative movement as a whole appears disgruntled and dyspeptic. Now I have nothing against

Another condescending twit (Erica Jong-Hill)  uses Kristol’s remark as a jumping-off point for a leap over the shark: Obama is also a token — of our incomplete progress toward an interracial society. I have nothing against him except his inexperience. Many black voters agree. They understand tokenism and condescension. I understand my hopeful friends who think an Obama button will change America. But I’m sticking with Hillary. I trust her
