Yep, that’s about it.  Although, since Hillary is The Smartest Woman In the World, shouldn’t she be Moe?  And shouldn’t Obama be Larry?  Because, you know, Negroes have curly hair.  Shamelessly stolen from Hot Air.

Superfast internet? Will that make bloggers die even younger?

Anybody know how to capture video from a DVD? I’m trying to break some instructionals into clips, but I have no idea how to get the video into the editing software. I’m using a Mac Dual G5 and Final Cut Express HD.

In a piece characterising the Basra battles of last week as a “mini-Tet,” Frank Rich avers that For the majority of Americans who haven’t met any of the brave troops who’ve been cavalierly tossed into the quagmire, the war is out of sight and mind in a way Vietnam never was. WTF? Is that supposed to be a sizable portion of Americans? Maybe only people who read the NYT can

Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass notes the essential dodge of Barack Obama’s church atempting to deflect attention from its leadership under the noxious Rev. Jeremiah Wright to a “sacred conversation” on the issue of race: But if we really talked about race, we’d really talk about unfair racial preferences in college and graduate school admissions, in hiring and on tax-subsidized public contracts. We’d talk about the horrendous drop-out rate in big

Gleen(s) today make jackasses of themselves even more than usual, picking a fight with an AP puff piece on Mike Mukasey. He begins by asserting that Mukasey is one of the most divisively controversial figures in American politics today, which is something that Gleen(s) would like to see to, but which brings hermeticism to the brink of absurdity by any reasonably objective measurement. He then goes on to state that

Garrett: “You know, most times when I go down on a dude it’s just so’s I can bank the money to shoot hoop or whatnot. But in Heston’s case, I may just have done it for free. Had he let me, I mean. Which, you know, not a chance that was gonna happen — unless maybe I got him drunk on single malt, made myself up like a monkeyfied Kim

TNR’s James Kirchick is not impressed by Matthew Yglesias’s new book on foreign policy: Avoiding arguments that weaken his case, Yglesias alleges that those who oppose his brand of liberal internationalism wish to transform the United States into an “imperial superpower that seeks to use its national strength to dominate the world and needlessly heighten conflicts.” If only Yglesias were as tough on America’s mortal enemies as he is with his

Josh Marshall, having been mocked for not bothering to do any homework on racial voting patterns in the Democratic presidential campaign, coincidentally discovered Brendan Nyhan’s analyses of the subject.  Indeed, Nyhan’s most recent analysis deconstructs recent nuttiness on the topic from David Sirota, concluding that “the claim that Obama does uniquely poorly with whites in states with moderate black populations is not well supported.” To save face, Marshall claims that

You stay classy, Associated Press: He engaged in a lengthy feud with liberal Ed Asner during the latter’s tenure as president of the Screen Actors Guild. His latter-day activism almost overshadowed his achievements as an actor, which were considerable. Left unmentioned is the subject of the feud, which was Asner’s desire to use SAG as a platform to support the spread of communism in Central America.  Heston’s anti-communism was a part of his
