Andrew Sullivan Unhinged Watch [Karl]

First, Sully put credence in a video by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones about Dick Cheney (and remained agnostic, even though a few moments with “the Google” would have debunked it.) Second, he was skeptical of the UK terror plot disrupted in August. He has not revisited that one, though Mark Mershon, head of the FBI’s New York field office, has suggested that US and UK intell officials now think that

Borat: My Son Brendan’s Comments [Dan Collins]

Did I mention that I was looking forward to seeing Borat?  I’m pretty sure I did. And I was going to, yesterday, with son Brendan (15).  But then Mary and the girl (Mairead, 11) decided that they really needed to go to the Alpaca Show, and I couldn’t find a play-date or film companion for Aidan (13, schizophrenia), and I ended up having to accompany Aidan to Flushed Away, which

And Now, for Something that Doesn’t Suck [Dan Collins]

Check out the new PowerLine News.  Clean lines.  Beauty.  My friend Joe Malchow, when he wasn’t being instrumental in getting the proposed anti-democratic revisions to the Dartmouth Constitution shot down, played a major role in getting this together.  In my view, it’s best in show.  Probably save you guys some time in the morning, as well.

Proof That the American Experiment Continues Unabated [Dan Collins]

Celebrities festooned with Ghostbusters-type gear, wandering around allegedly haunted places. Picabo Street as a medium. Jeez. However, I can report that Mariel Hemingway remains very hot. She deserves better. But then, so do we. . . . Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety; other women

The Monkifesto [Dan Collins, UPDATED]

Move over, Karl Marx.  Roll over, Beethoven.  Get outta town, Nostradamus. The long awaited Monkifesto is now available for the first time on the intarweb: If you want the Monkifesto in a nutshell, here it is: Pax Americana is drawing to a close. Pax Sinae is here: http://tinyurl.com/y9teo3 Any country that relies on economic or military support from America to survive now beter start pleading their case to the Chinese

Thank G-d it’s almost over (a rare sober post by cranky-d)

Is it my fading memory, or has this polical season been the worst ever?  I blush to admit that I’ve only followed politics starting with the 2000 election season, and even then, I didn’t pay all that much attention.  Most of my information was from sound-bites from sparingly-watched news programs, and from the Maclaughlin group.  Once I started reading blogs, which I think was around 2001, I slowly morphed into
