Ald. Dick Mell and the Chicago Way [Karl]

Instapundit Glenn Reynolds seemed to “enjoy” the story of Chicago Alderman Dick Mell, who forgot to re-register his arsenal of weapons as required by city ordinance, then “quietly introduced an ordinance that would reopen gun registration in Chicago and create a one-month amnesty for himself and other gun owners in the same predicament.” But that is just the tip of Dick Mell.  His son-in-law just happens to be Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.  Okay,

Excruciatingly Ridiculous [Dan Collins]

I have no words for this. OTOH, she shows some improvement. More ridiculous? B-B-B-Barry and the Jews NYT editors snooze: McCain may not be just older, but wiser; long-standing strange cultural ideas may have merit. The Black Crows : The Black Seminoles

Biggest Douchebag in the World [Dan Collins; UPDATED]

explains that his words are subject to misinterpretation, Bush’s are not. “Cold-blooded killers” unleashed upon America by “hounds” of war are those in his administration “who may someday be charged with war crimes,” presumably by the sorts of agencies capable of ham-sandwich indictment that have nothing better to do than send an inspector to the United States to investigate charges of racism. At long last, Mr. Douchebag, have you lost

The Gallup tracking poll(s) and the donkey in the room [Karl]

For your halftime entertainment between tonight’s big Democratic electoral tussles in Kentucky and Oregon (hah), here is a brief observation of what the Gallup tracking poll(s) say about the current state of the presidential race. Despite the telephone polling from Kentucky showing a large number of Democrats willing to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama, the Gallup tracking poll data so far shows not only that Obama has opened up a 16-point

O! the fun we shall have!

Seriously. How can anyone above the age of 18 — or who isn’t still a member of the Buffalo Springfield (or Nena, for that matter) fan clubs — support a man who, when he bothers to say anything substantive, shows himself to be so completely out of touch with the Anglosphere’s best interests that its a wonder he’s able to deliver his lines in English. Let’s cut through the tonal

Chimpy McHitlerburton’s smirky rodeo ride through history, 24: al qaeda’s virtual defeat in Iraq edition

Quick! Hurry up and elect Obama so the US and its coalition partners can admit defeat and pull troops from Iraq, lest we finish off al Qaeda once and for all! Like, you know, bullies! From Talisman Gate: A prolific jihadist sympathizer has posted an ‘explosive’ study on one of the main jihadist websites in which he laments the dire situation that the mujaheddin find themselves in Iraq by citing

Breitbart.TV Goes to RayV [Dan Collins]

It’s an interactive platform that allows you to communicate with Liz and Todd in real time, through instant messaging, video chat, etc, while they’re broadcasting.  They’re starting it up and are pretty excited about it, so go to the website and load it down before they go live today at 4 Eastern (shows run anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes).  Should be fun.  In other news, Liz has opened up a Breitbart.TV

Hillary Clinton is looking more like Jesse Jackson every day [Karl]

The report by Lois Romano in today’s Washington Post is typical of the latest conventional wisdom: Women of all ages and nationalities push against the rope line carrying books and T-shirts, posters and stuffed animals — anything for her to autograph. They tote huge signs that shout “Hillary Cares About Me”– and they tearfully grab her hand to implore her to stick it out, to take her trailing campaign all

A Barack Obama “tiny countries” update [Karl]

In the comments to yesterday’s post on Barack Obama’s declaration on Sunday that Iran, Venezuela and Cuba do not pose a “serious” threat to the US because they are “tiny countries,” much smaller than the Soviet Union (followed by his declaration on Monday that Iran was a “grave threat”), there was a general discussion of the whole “negotiation vs. appeasement” debate Pres. Bush put on the table with his weekend speech in

Barack Obama’s politics of guilt by association [Karl]

Barack Obama, in his May 6th victory speech in Raleigh, North Carolina, Obama decried — as he often does — the “same efforts to distract us from the issues that affect our lives by pouncing on every gaffe and association and fake controversy in the hope that the media will play along.”  Indeed, as the media and blogosphere have reported on those surrounding the man who wants to be the most powerful man in the
