That was really nice of McCain and Feingold to try and fix things for us, even if they managed to screw things up even more.  Too bad McCain seems not to care very much about violations of the regulations regarding voting in the primaries. Because, you know, some things are just out of candidates’ hands.  Bank error in my favor?  Lucky me.

Check this out. This is the story as you can access it from npr.org. Soviet spy and defector, now US citizen Tretyakov doesn’t show in a search from their site elsewhere. But this is the long version of the interview. What’s really fascinating is what’s missing from the short version. Tretyakov mentions that his principal mission was to stir up anti-American sentiment, within the US and abroad. He outlines how

Roger L. Simon, whose blog I usually enjoy, makes some serious errors today: January 29, 2008: McCain Derangement Syndrome – It’s Here! What’s amusing in one way and horrifying in another, but all-too-human in the final analysis, is how the moment a politician becomes popular and powerful – Bush, Clinton – a sizable percentage of the population starts to hate him. We’ve seen Clinton reviled. We’ve had years of Bush

I have on a couple of occasions linked to Matt Welch’s Reason piece on John McCain, which I consider well worth reading, particularly for those Republicans still (and beyond all rational explanation) enamored with the Arizona senator’s “Maverick” image — something I believe is but cynical media spin for what is essentially a progressive mindset that lurches toward conservatism whenever the mood strikes. I bring this up again for two

Michelle has a post up in which she asks her readers what they will do if it’s McCain vs. the Hildabeast, and the results are pretty depressing.  This is a fairly representative sample: If McCain becomes the republican nominee, Rush will be proven right. The “republican” persuasion will cease to exist. It might as well merge with the democrats to become its true self. Good riddance. Staunch conservatives for life, my

I’m finding the primaries depressing at the moment, so I thought I’d try to change the subject a little. Best and Worst

Looking ahead to Super-Duper Tuesday, the polls from many of the big states favored Sen. John McCain even before Florida voted; Rudy Giuliani’s anticipated withdrawal from the race and endorsement of McCain will only magnify that trend.  Of the states not represented at the prior link, Mitt Romney had a 19 point lead over McCain in Colorado, home of Jeff Goldstein and 66 delegates.  And it is a fair bet that Romney

In response to CraigC’s post about the illegals whose vehicle smacked a border patrol vehicle in the back, a visiting moonbat spouts off: Comment by Donah on 1/30 @ 6:27 am # Who really cares about ilegals? Who´s job are they taking away?? Not mine… I hold 3 masters.. All they do is fill those jobs like working in the field.. no self-appraising American -black included- wants to take… so

At RCP, Jay Cost does his typically excellent job in analyzing Sen. John McCain’s win in the Florida primary, which was based on the same general coalition he has had in New Hampshire and South Carolina.   Curiously, Cost misses the larger implication of that analysis. Cost notes that McCain once again won those who are disenchanted by the Bush presidency, despite campaigning in no small part on the “surge,” which Cost calls “the hallmark of

It was through Danny’s face that people came to grasp the depth of cruelty and inhumanity into which this planet of ours has been allowed to sink in the past two decades. His murder proved that 9/11 was not an isolated event, and helped resurrect the age-old ideas of right and wrong, good and evil. Moral relativism died with Daniel Pearl in January 2002. If only.
