My sixth brief interview with Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito

Me: “So tell me:  how’d he do it?” Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito: “Beg your pardon?” Me: “How’d your boy avoid the indictment?  For outing Plame and lying to the grand jury, like, five times?” Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito: “I’m not following you.” Me: “Well, did he have something on Fitzgerald?—like, you know, pictures of him diddling a hooker, or doing lines of blow off Jame Hamsher’s abs?  Because I kept

This, THE DAY OF RECKONING for our arrogant hegemonic hyperpower and its Chimpler in Chief, continues apace…

From Roy Robison, writing the Saddam Dossier for FOXNews, “Terror Links to Saddam’s Inner Circle”: What was the relationship between Saddam Hussein’s inner circle and Islamic terrorists? A newly released document appears to provide evidence that in 1999 the Taliban welcomed “Islamic relations with Iraq” to mediate among the Taliban, the Northern Alliance and Russia, and that the Taliban invited Iraqi officials to Afghanistan. The document, captured in Iraq but

DNC Chair Howard Dean visits a Vermont kindergarten class

Dean:  “…and that, children, is how we know that even though the frog turned into a prince, underneath his handsome new veneer he was really just a lying, wart-covered scumbag who used a golden ball as ransom to get into the bloomers of a gullible princess.  Because he hates America. And treats it like his own personal hump doll.  And if the King really loved his daughter— which he doesn’t,

The bad week for America continues…

From the Daily Kos, commenter CheChe puts into words what I think many of us are feeling today, what with Bush in Baghdad and Rove cleared (though to be fair, some, God bless their fortitude, continue to hold out hope that Rudolph’s magical red nose will bring that Fitzmas sled in under heavy fog, no matter what Mr Luskin says): I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a look of

BREAKING:  THREAT OF ROVE INDICTMENT REMAINS IMMINENT, IF BY “IMMINENT” ONE MEANS “IT WON’T HAPPEN, BUT JASON LEOPOLD IS ABOUT TO GO ON A SAVAGE TEQUILA BENDER BEFORE BEGGING HIS OLD HIGH SCHOOL NEWSPAPER EDITOR FOR A JOB, WRITING, OH, SAY, EXPOSÉS ON NUTRITIONALLY-DEFICIENT CAFETERIA FOOD OR SOME SUCH”

*must credit protein wisdom* Not that I care much, really.  Just passing along the whispers from my sources.*

Fifty-first in a series of real-time empirical observations

In the time it takes you to read this post, nearly everyone who attended YearlyKos 2006 will have forgotten about it completely—with the exception of one rather pale dude from Iowa who inadvertantly got lucky with a tipsy Trenton schoolteacher who found herself so wildly turned on by the word “caucus” that the mere mention of it compelled her touch herself inappropriately. —Well, him, and the guy who stole Barbara

700 New Terrorists Created by US Hostility

…If, that is, you believe the now-familiar reproductive formula credited to the mythical hydra-headed al Qaeda superbeast, who, we’re told, somehow replaces each dead jihadist with one hundred new ones.  Which I admit to finding a bit strange—I mean, why not just begin with a billion or so jihadis and overwhelm the enemy that way, particularly if you have such a surplus of Knights of the Caliphate waiting in the

“Hearing Atrios say ‘wanker’ live?  In person? Gave me a chubby.”* **** update: “Wesley Clark bestrides the earth like a silver-haired God.  Only thinner.” **** update 2: “Which will last longer? The memories?  Or the smell of Truth to Power?”

A couple of interviews you may find interesting, courtesy Pundit Review:  1) Blackfive and Michael Yon discuss the killing of Zarqawi, the latest Haditha developments and the latest on Michael’s copyright dispute with HFM.  2) Victor Davis Hanson on the war on Middle East and the war on terrorism. The best part? When VDH explains the Palestinian “refugee” situation through an extended metaphor using Hannibal, a pair of constipated elephants,

As a misogynistic, racist, homophobic red state paste-eater…

…this televised undressing of one of those Phelps harridans really should unsettle me.  And yet, I found it rather amusing. Strange, that.  Am I in denial?  Has the universe spun off its perfectly bi-polar axis?  Because the fact that this exchange happened on FOXNews, a veritable kennel for anti-progressive haters, makes it that much more surreal, I admit.  Which, perhaps I’d better go ruthlessly beat one of the African-American bimbo-dykes
