Dems 2008: Clinton Disillusionment Syndrome Update [Karl]

In the L.A. Times, Jonathan Chait — previously the author of “The Case for Bush Hatred” — joins the growing band of left-liberals souring on the Clintons: Something strange happened the other day. All these different people — friends, co-workers, relatives, people on a liberal e-mail list I read — kept saying the same thing: They’ve suddenly developed a disdain for Bill and Hillary Clinton. Maybe this is just a

Asinine [Dan Collins]

Karl’s got an important post coming, so I’m going to just throw out this hilarious post from Freep: The Federal Communications Commission has proposed a $1.4 million fine against 52 ABC Television Network stations over a 2003 broadcast of cop drama NYPD Blue. The fine is for a scene where a boy surprises a woman as she prepares to take a shower. The scene depicted “multiple, close-up views” of the woman’s

F#&% ESPN [Dan Collins]

Apparently, Olbermann wasn’t out of place in this particular corporate culture.If someone’s got a history of all the kinds of remarks chid by ESPN broadcasters, I’d love to see it.  I’m not for executing her for shit she said when she was drunk, but I do want to see her publicly humiliated and I’d love to hear her explain herself. And I’d like to hear a little bit of consideration of

Honey, Do You Know Where I Put the Battery Cables? (CraigC)

Does this look like a guy who would electrocute his wife during “kinky sex?”  I didn’t think so.  I’m sure it was her fault.  I’ll bet she was asking for it.  No, really, I’ll bet she was asking for it.  Ok, go ahead, let the punning begin.

The Coveted CraigC Endorsement

There are certain movies that I will always watch if I come across them while surfing, no matter how far along they are in the plot.  Boogie Nights is one of those movies.  It’s a nearly perfect little gem that also happens to have one of the greatest film sequences ever.  More on that in a moment.  It’s about the porn industry in the 70’s and 80’s, with tour-de-force performances

Dems 2008: Clinton backs seating MI, FL delegates, heads explode [Karl]

There is a great disturbance in the Leftosphere after Ezra Klein flagged a statement from the Clinton campaign that Sen. Hillary Clinton will ask her Democratic convention delegates to support seating the delegations from Florida and Michigan. Josh Marshall seems thisclose to a declaration that this aggression will not stand: The Clinton camp is just pushing to seat these delegates now because the contingencies of the moment mean that the
