Surf’s up on the Left after Sen. John McCain voted against a bill that would force the Central Intelligence Agency to adhere to limitations in the US Army Field Manual when interrogating terrorists.  The reaction of the misnamed ThinkProgress was typical: John McCain: He was against waterboarding before he was for it. Kevin Drum opines that Maverick has folded in the face of “a conservative base that’s righteously pissed off and

Full Speed Ahead! City Council unanimously apologizes to Marines.

Bliss! Creepy bliss!  With a sweet invitation like that, I simply don’t see how could I refuse! Happy Valentines Day to all you and all the guys over at PW. You always manage to put a smile on my face.

As expected, the establishment media herd is grazing in a field of Obamentum.  Sen. Barack Obama’s adviser David Plouffe claims a mantle of inevitability, and the Politico, the Washington Post and New York magazine suggest that Sen. Hillary Clinton’s coalition may be cracking. The Politico reports: His widening coalition is becoming part of his message: He won a majority of Latino votes – which had been Clinton’s bulwark elsewhere –

Via Instapundit, Penn Jillette describes doing a nasty joke about the Hildabeast, and the (to him) surprising reaction from the crowd.  This strikes me as being about right.  As he notes, it’s an instant, honest reaction, as opposed to answering a poll where people have time to formulate an answer based on whatever agenda they have or what they think the pollster wants to hear.  Mind you, the audience is

Last night on FNC’s coverage of the Potomac Primaries, Dark Lord Karl Rove suggested that — contrary to the conventional wisdom — Sen. John McCain was already doing better among Republicans than his rivals were doing among Democrats. It turns out Rove said much the same thing Monday night on the O’Reilly Factor: O’REILLY: Now let’s go over to the Republican Party. It looks to be in disarray. Looks to be

I’ve got my reasons.*  What are yours?  Anecdotes solicited. *Not because of the pogroms.

No justice, no peace in the Democratic nomination battles: In a Feb. 8 letter to DNC Chairman Howard Dean, NAACP chairman Julian Bond expressed “great concern at the prospect that million of voters in Michigan and Florida could ultimately have their votes completely discounted.” Refusing to seat the states’ delegations could remind voters of the “sordid history of racially discriminatory primaries,” he said. The Associated Press and the Politico missed

Given Sen. Barack Obama’s sweep of last night’s “Potomac Primaries,” there will probably ba a fair amount of press about his surge in momentum, or the purported “reality of the math,” with analysis like this from the respected electoral expert Charlie Cook: Colby College political scientist and delegate selection expert Anthony Corrado calls Wisconsin’s Feb. 19 primary “the gateway to Texas and Ohio.” Indeed, Wisconsin will likely play a decent-size role, as it
