Remember Rush Limbaugh calling for Republicans to change sides for a day and vote for Clinton in Texas and Ohio just to keep the Dem primary bloodfest going a while longer? He has a wee problem: While this all makes for great talk radio and sounds like fun, there is one catch: What Limbaugh encouraged Republican voters to do in Ohio was a fifth-degree felony in that state, punishable with

How can Hollywood remake the 1951 Cold War sci-fi flick The Day the Earth Stood Still now that the Cold War is over (and Hollywood lost)? Instead of playing on the fear that the United States will destroy the world with its evil nukes, play on the fear that the United States will destroy the world with… global warming: While humanity still engages in a staggering number of international conflicts,

At The American Prospect, Spencer Ackerman would like to tell you about the Obama Doctrine in foreign policy.  At least, he would like to relay the spin from Barack Obama’s foreign policy advisers: They envision a doctrine that first ends the politics of fear and then moves beyond a hollow, sloganeering “democracy promotion” agenda in favor of “dignity promotion,” to fix the conditions of misery that breed anti-Americanism and prevent

Having already juxtaposed the analysis by RCP’s Jay Cost with the district-by-district estimates from former Abbie Hoffman protege and political reporter Al Giordano, I add estimates from OpenLeft’s Chris Bowers, which I somehow managed to miss previously.  Bowers thinks Giordano’s estimates are far too friendly to Hillary Clinton and suggests “the most likely pledged delegate projection from Pennsylvania is 84-74 in favor of Clinton (plus three add-on delegates), not the 92-66

It’s going to be a long year… ROFLMAO!

In order to better understand the controversy over Barack Obama’s relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ — as well as its inevitability — it might be useful to take a brief stroll down Memory Lane. In June 2007, Obama was the first of the Democratic presidential contenders to launch a religious outreach website.  At the time, Joshua DuBois, Obama’s Director of Religious Affairs, told the

To all the guest bloggers who’ve been instrumental in keeping this site alive. You’ve all come a really long way (in my decidedly not humble opinion), and I’m proud to have you representing a site that carries my name. — Or, at least I would be, were my name, you know, protein wisdom. Still, you get the idea. Thanks also to Dan for sending me the complete novels of Flann

O’Reilly attends Church headed by ex-Nazi, Ratzinger!!! In 1937 Ratzinger’s father retired and the family moved to Traunstein, a staunchly Catholic town in Bavaria close to the Führer’s mountain retreat in Berchtesgaden. He joined the Hitler Youth aged 14, shortly after membership was made compulsory in 1941. He quickly won a dispensation on account of his training at a seminary. “Ratzinger was only briefly a member of the Hitler Youth
