The American Spectator, “Howie and Harry” (via RedState and Vodkapundit): It appears that the Democrat Party is closer to imploding than the Republican. How else to explain the ongoing attempts by Democrat Party Chairman Howard Dean to destroy Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid? According to knowledgeable DNC sources, Dean about ten days ago was shown opposition research documents generated by the Republican National Committee more than three years ago, which

Using long sentences?  amateurish.  Devoting an entire post to pointing out how a person whose opinions mean nothing to you uses long sentences, all while inviting your readers (in a not particularly well-disguised attempt to fish for compliments) to stroke the veiny, spongy shaft of your own insecurities? ironic. Or maybe sad is the better choice.  Ah, what the hell:  Let’s call that one a pick ‘em.

From Vodkapundit: Google won’t stand up to Beijing. But they’re fearless when it comes to putting Brussels in its place: Google, the giant internet search company, is to lead industry opposition to new proposals from the European Commission to regulate online content. I support Google in its efforts to fight the EU. The Union is determined to enforce all kinds of nasty regulations on the internet, and supports turning internet

From Breitbart / AP: Samuel Anthony Alito Jr., the son of an Italian immigrant and a longtime lawyer, prosecutor and judge, was confirmed as the 110th Supreme Court justice in one of the most partisan votes for a high court nominee in modern history. Although senators are still voting, a majority have already cast votes in favor of President Bush’s choice to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Alito, 55,

“You’ve probably already heard by now, Billy, but there’s a grass roots effort pushing me to run for Senate.  Against that Feinstein lady.  Who, not to put too fine a point on it, sounds kind of like a Zionist.  Which is not to say that’s a bad thing, necessarily—I mean, despite what some Rethugs on the internet say, I’m a friend to the Hebes, and some of my best friends

Kennedy:  “It’s not so much that I don’t like the title, you understand—in fact, as power trio titles go, ‘The Smile Has Left Your Eyes’ is really rather catchy.  It’s just that…well—let’s just say some wag is bound to bring up that whole ‘Mary Jo Kopechne gasping for air breath at the bottom of a pond in my Delta ‘88’-thing.  Which, if it’s all the same to you fellas, I

—and yet al Qaeda, with its medievalist sweet teas and lamb-and-date stews, still thinks it stands a chance against microwavable modernity.  Which is sad, because this IS a delicious, buttery-tasting popcorn that literally cleans your arteries while you enjoy its tasty crunchy cornbuttery goodness we’re talking about—versus, like, mandatory prayer, sand, and chicks rolled in burlap like scratching posts.  So, y’know—you might not wanna put all your eggs in that

It seems the orchestrated administration pushback against a half-year of incessant (and largely disingenuous and opportunistic) media and Dem leadership-criticism has won back—at least provisionally, and for the time being—the majority of Bush supporters, the numbers once again approximating the 2004 electoral outcome.  I wrote several times in earlier posts on Bush approval ratings that I believed, looking at the internals, that it was a GOP / conservative mutiny that
