I hope you all know that I’m not exactly a prude, and that generally I appreciate Stephen’s humor, even when it involves stating the truth, but today in Facebook he’s gone too far, updating his mood, thusly: Stephen Green watches the snow melt and laughs and laughs and laughs. 1h ago You know, I think we’ve all been there at one time or another, feeling that spring is just taking

Michelle Malkin flags the following HuffPo account of Barack Obama’s fundraiser with limousine lefties in San Francisco: “You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these

It appears that The Atlantic’s Matthew Yglesias has not heard that John McCain may be a Cylon.  The Flophouser’s head may well explode in his kaffiyeh upon learning of this rumor, as his blog has increasingly become a cesspool of robotophobia.  Yesterday, Yglesias questioned whether economist George Borjas is a Cylon, reflecting his fear that robots will rebel and enslave humankind.  This fear also explains his paranoia about the military-industrial

Dean: McCain’s Age Worries Voters Leahy privately expresses interest in replacing Byrd Where does Leahy get off?  He’s not nearly senile enough, yet.
