In the Future, All the Eloi Will Look Like Me [Dan Collins]

Evolution, according to this tenured kook, follows the internet.  My brothers, I hail you from the future of the past!

Democrats’ Secret Last Minute Campaign Ads, #2-7 [posted by the Colossus]

From the secret archives of the DNC.  Pick the winning theme! 

Dow 12K? [Dan Collins]

Wouldn’t it be just terrible if the Dow stayed over 12K tomorrow after the close, and gave the Bushies something they could crow about in the final weeks of the campaign?  I would question the timing.  But as good Democrats, you can do your bit and SELL ALL YOUR POSITIONS in the market in order to deprive the RETHUGLICANS of this insipid talking point and ensure that Nancy Pelosi will

Jeff’s Big Fat Jewish Housewarming [Dan Collins]

Yeah, he’s already got a brass armadillo.  You have to have brass armadillos in this business.  But I’m wondering whether there’s some way for us to set up a contest wherein the person who sent the Goldsteins the most absurd, grotesque and pointless housewarming present would win.  Is there some kind of service that will blindly fill in an address for them?  Is there any chance that Mr. P. Wisdom

Headline of the Day [Dan Collins]

Suicide Note Leads to Dismembered Body And I’m thinking, what a freaking Houdini, till I find out it leads to someone else’s body. Why would you want to give CPR to a troll?  What are you, a religious nut? Wuzzadem’s best in a couple of weeks: When Idiots Collide.  Yeah, I DO think it’s funny.  Why?  Because I hate black people, man.  Sheesh.

News from the Douchesphere [ahem]

Previews are out for Glenn Greenwald’s latest book, Confessions of a Throroughly Second-Rate Mind: Watching Bush followers angrily objecting to the use of sexual behavior and homosexuality for political gain—or listening them oh-so-solemnly lament how the Good People are being driven away from politics because of the personal, invasive treatment to which they are subjected—is about as jaw-droppingly astonishing as any spectacle one can fathom. This is a political movement

Filthy Harry II in 2D

As you may recall, the last time we visited Filthy Harry he had as a defender a certain david, who repeatedly insisted that we didn’t understand the nature of property transactions under an LLC.  According to david, there was no there there. Investors Business Daily seems also to be unaware of the special, Democrat-excusing qualities of the LLC in question, which is a shame, considering that it’s pitched to people

Hoist the Black Flag, neocons!

I’ll be taking a break from the daily domesticity to do a radio show with Ace.  Not sure who the guests are, but that’s okay, because I’m not sure what the topics are, either.  And really—unless we’re going to be discussing the cost/benefit of going for the higher end stainless or brushed aluminum appliances vs the basic designer black, I’m afraid I’m going to be rather unhelpful forwarding the discourse.

Ban the spectre of full employment! Vote Democratic! Updated [ahem]

Intriguing article with many juicy graphics from the Belgian economic think tank, WorkForAll. It shows quite clearly the economic nosedive into which we’d be thrown by the ignorant socialist economic policies the Dems want to enact. It demonstrates and explains the rapid growth of Ireland (from 22nd to 4th in the EU in a generation) and the needless stagnation and waste enjoyed by Belgium and the rest. The site’s library

Prioritizing

Meh. So what if the ACLU has joined a number of other ideologically “neutral” NPOs in dropping its non-partisan facade and announcing its support for the Democrats (because let’s face it:  nothing says “we value civil liberties” more than smoking bans, the surrender of private enterprise to a massive centrally-controlled government, municipal usurpation of private property to feed the common weal, and non-denominational holidays stripped of their celebratory cores and
