Guardedly Great News from Burrhog [Dan Collins]

Words fail me. I cried so hard when I came out of the bathroom and saw the monkey sitting in my bed. I just knew the imbecilic ambassador was from the PW crowd when I first laid eyes on him. That’s the first Joy I have felt in four weeks. Nobody knows how this is going to turn out for me. So far, I have fallen behind every healing curve

Site Notes, updated

We’re working on the build of WordPress, and we hope to have the archives moved over soon.  I will be incorporating many of your suggestions for site improvements (if I can figure out how), and I hope—too—to offer a separate forum for permanent guest posting and commentary (called the PW Pub). I’m also hoping soon to return to doing some video work for Hot Air– and to incorporate a weekly

Campaign Puts New Strain on Secret Service [Karl]

The WaPo reports: The U.S. Secret Service expects to borrow more than 2,000 immigration officers and federal airport screeners next year to help guard an ever-expanding field of presidential candidates, while shifting 250 of its own agents from investigations to security details. *** Its $110 million-plus budget for campaign protection—two-thirds more than the record $65 million it spent for the 2004 election—was prepared when the service did not expect to

Strange News [Dan Collins]

Canada Seeks Man With Groin-Kick Request Posted: May. 28 12:45 p.m. GUELPH, Ontario — Police in Ontario are looking for a man who allegedly approached women and asked them to kick him in the groin. Three women reported similar incidents to police over the past two months, and two of the women reported the suspect was on a bicycle. None of the women reported injuries. Police Sgt. Cate Welsh said

Department of Corrections [Dan Collins]

Seixon points out that he was threatened by Jason Leopold and merely intimidated by Larry Johnson.  My apologies to ex-CIA nutjob Johnson. The text of the Embassy food shortage memo is genuine, but questions remain.  I’m so hummeliated.  Oops.  Lennoxed.  And discredited. Also, bleach is an oxidant, and Jeff meant to cite the English cover of the German Kommissar song.

Supply Lines Stretched Thin, Dessertion in the Ranks [Dan Collins]

Wuzzie has the details. Cindy Sheehan Quits as ‘Face’ of Anti-War Movement Okay, I think the ‘scare apostrophes’ are a bit much, but as much as I dislike Hanoi Jane, she was a better anti-war face. Don’t throw me into that briar patch: Rosie O’Donnell Says She May Never Speak to Elisabeth Hasselbeck Again Airing their dirty lingerie Turning Japanese: Lefty spooge and somewhat popular blogger proves what a crass

Memorial Day (cranky-d)

I have been contemplating just what Memorial Day means to me, and as Dan suggested yesterday, what the freedom others have bought for me with their lives means to me.  It hasn’t been as easy as I thought it would be.  One thing I don’t want to do is complain, so while we all know things could be better, I intend to simply celebrate what we have now.  I will

Rolling the Dice [Dan Collins]

I emailed burrhog yesterday, and again today, and I’ve yet to hear back from him, so I’m going to violate my circumspection and just let you all know what I know.  Here’s today’s email from me to him: Keith, If you can hear me, please click the handset. I’m getting lots of requests for an update. I hope you’re okay. Dan I still haven’t heard, though, and that makes me

Following up on Memorial Day [Karl]

Yesterday, Dan Collins asked his fellow guest-posters (and others) to declaim what their freedom means to them.  But Dan’s post—and BRD’s today—both mention the sacrifice of our troops, past and present.  Rightly so.  Our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are ultimately secured by those among us who sacrifice the exercise of those rights—and none moreso than those we honor on Memorial Day. To be sure, some

On the Past and Future of Memorial Day [BRD]

It’s not very often that I’m asked to write something for a special occasion or holiday, and I have to confess to being more than a bit stumped about what to say on this, the darker, more somber fourth of July, but maybe I can make a few worthwhile observations. I am very much of the opinion that the United States of America is a singular entity.  I know of
