Trojan Horseapples [Dan Collins]

Ewwwwwwwwwwww: “But you must understand,” implored a well-intentioned woman in the audience, “multiculturalism is Canada’s gift to the world.” I used to like guacamole, too.

Public Display of Adulation [Dan Collins]

Gleen finds a journo who’s just as prickly about criticism as Gleen himself is, when Gleen takes him to task for “adulating” McCain. Generally, one would just describe such a performance as adulatory, but perhaps there’s some kind of coded gay meaning to adulate to which Gleen’s referring, dictionary or no dictionary (NTTAWWT). Ah well.  Either of them would look cute, I think, in Brooks Bros “Black Fleece.”

GOP 2008: South Carolina… is it the economy, stupid? [Karl]

As we look toward the Republican contest in South Carolina, it may be useful to start with an autopsy on the Michigan primary.  While my election-related posts often criticize those who focus too much on polls at the expense of the ground game, this post will focus on polls.  However, this will mostly be to examine how polls may affect the candidates’ campaign themes going forward. Analyzing the Michigan exit polls, Jay

Very Good News (CraigC)

This update was posted today at Tim B’s site. *WEDNESDAY MORNING UPDATE* Results of Monday’s CAT scan are in. There is no spread of the malignancy; zip, zero, zilch. It’s entirely localised. Medical science may disagree, but I think credit should go to readers and fellow bloggers. Your thoughts and prayers have eerie powers. Massive thanks to all.

More Findings with Clear Ramifications for Us, Today [Dan Collins]

Dinosaurs Had Adolescent Sex, Study Finds I blame the parents. And abstinence-only sex education. “A man who allegedly fired a shot that hit a 10-year-old boy who was taking piano lessons faces life in prison.” I realize now that it was very selfish to wish that would have happened to me when I had to take piano lessons.

Dems 2008: Today in Identity Politics, pt. 2 [Karl]

Today, with Oprah Winfrey solidly in the camp of Sen. Barack Obama, rival candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton took her act to the Tyra Banks Show for a frank discussion about Bill Clinton’s infamous fling with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.  Because of the empathy. Nevertheless, Tyra seems a bit B-List for a Clinton.  Hillary would seem to ba a natural fit for Ellen DeGeneres, who is, after all… more loved than Oprah, according

A Serr8d Joint [Dan Collins]

Speaker Pelosi’s Recipe for Change [Karl]

As the start of Congress’ new session approaches, Democrats are feeling the pressure of being viewed as a do-nothing majority.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi, sensing the need for bold, decisive action, has… imposed a gourmet menu in the House: The processed cheese has been replaced with brie. The Jell-O has made way for raspberry kiwi tarts and mini-lemon blueberry trifles. Meatloaf has moved over for mahi mahi and buns have been

Dems 2008: Chris Farley explains the Michigan ballot [Karl]

I wish I could write that I am linking to this video of Michigan Democratic Party chairman Mark Brewer explaining the Michigan ballot out of disgust with the way the Clintons manipulated the primary process, or out some sense of civic obligation to prevent people from spoiling their ballots. In reality, I am linking it because it suggests that Chris Farley faked his own death.  So you may want to skip

protein wisdom: the update

Hi, all. Been nursing a rib injury that seems to have culminated in some sort of lump in my back. According to my primary care physician, what I have is a fatty tumor that is coincidental with the back/rib cage injury from which I’ve been recuperating. But because the lump is directly atop the point where the rib cage injury feels centered (when I press on that area, I experience
