The more we know about Obama, the less we know about Obama. Maybe if we had those special glasses, like Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones — or even Roddy Piper…

Good. Now if a few concerned parents would get together and do something similar to all those brainy egghead kids, I wouldn’t have to waste my time helping the boy with his homework. So, like, win-win.

In light of the late unpleasantness here — and as a reminder of where I stand on certain issues and why I believe the way I do — I’m going to reprint this earlier post that tackles the ethics of revealing the names of anonymous attackers. You are free to discuss this, but I ask that you please keep it civil. In the year and a half since I wrote

I’d been contacted by several people about doing DNC convention coverage, but now that the convention’s here, I haven’t really heard much more about it (possibly because of email problems). Michelle Malkin is on it, as are the folks at PJM, along with several local bloggers — including the strangely named People’s Press Collective. Zombie is also there for LGF and Pajamas.

It’s not just for evil right wing rethuglicans anymore! A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that

From David Harsanyi, writing in the Denver Post: What happens when presidents from more than 100 of the nation’s best-known colleges call on lawmakers to consider lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18? Well, a brigade of hyperbolic mommies start screaming at them, that’s what. In the Amethyst Initiative, college presidents have offered a rational, if counterintuitive, plan.
