McGehee on McCain: Senile like a . . . whatever is best known for its . . . unsenility. Fausta has a great interview regarding the Karsenty Affair. ;aLady Bracknell. Well, I must say, Algernon, that I think it is high time that Mr. Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or to die. This shilly-shallying with the question is absurd.

Alcohol: Is There Anything It Can’t Do? [Dan Collins]
Feeling old, Bunky? I blame Jeff. Protein Wisdom challenged by Breitbart.TV (about 70 min. in) Blogger writes really long article for NYT Magazine. If you have the ambition, please read it and tell me if there’s anything good in it. I read 2 1/2 pages and still didn’t give a shit. UPDATE: Jiminkc says: “Attention whore comes to loathe the attention, whines about it a lot.” I’m kinda shooting from
“Hey, where the white women at?”* [Karl]
Though I have often looked at the white male swing vote here at pw, Gallup notes that the current head-to-head match-up has Barack Obama losing white women to John McCain by 9 points. It is possible that this reflects some latent disgruntlement among some women over the technically ongoing contest between Obama and Hillary Clinton. But it is also more consistent with a broader trend. Ruy Teixeira, co-author of The Emerging
My first brief conversation with the ghost of Andy Gibb
Me: “So, you following the elections this year?” Ghost of Andy Gibb: “Elections?” Me: “Yeah. The presidential elections. In the US.” Ghost of Andy Gibb: Ghost of Andy Gibb: Ghost of Andy Gibb: “Here’s a little secret for you, brother. In Heaven, you can do enough coke to kill a freight train full of circus elephants — and still not get any more dead. Plus, the shit is free.” Me:
It’s IdentityPoli-palooza!
From a comment at Willamette Week, in response to their editorial endorsing O! : I attended Sunday’s big Obama-rama in Waterfront Park. Had a fine time. However – I was competely offended when I saw several different men in line wearing t-shirts that said “Bros before Hoes” with photos of B & H. Dude – way to lose my vote ! protein wisdom offers an unsolicited response: “Dude. Pick a
The “the ‘if I were a garden hoe’ poem” poem
for Shannon Elizabeth If I were a garden hoe I’d be an independent contractor. It’s bad enough banging rakes and manual sprinklers for chump change — You think I want to share my hard-earned bread with some asshole garden pimp?
More Identity Politics High-Jinx!!! [Dan Collins]
Laugh n Pass! Emma, aged 42, has a birth certificate and a “gender recognition certificate” to prove her legal status as a woman although she is still waiting for final surgery to make her transition from male to female physically complete. She says she has never had a problem with any of her other pupils and says the complaints made by the man from the Meadowhall area of Sheffield, were:
Zionism or Racism? [Dan Collins]
Those pesky Florida Joooooooooooooooos: At the Aberdeen Golf and Country Club on Sunday, the fountains were burbling, the man-made lakes were shining, and Shirley Weitz and Ruth Grossman were debating why Jews in this gated neighborhood of airy retirement homes feel so much trepidation about Senator Barack Obama. “The people here, liberal people, will not vote for Obama because of his attitude towards Israel,†Ms. Weitz, 83, said, lingering over
Are Terrorists Doritos? (2008 edition) [Karl]
Reuters reports: A study released on Wednesday reports a decline in fatal attacks of terrorism worldwide and says U.S. think-tank data showing sharp increases were distorted due to the inclusion of killings in Iraq. “Even if the Iraq ‘terrorism’ data are included, there has still been a substantial decline in the global terrorism toll,” said the 2007 Human Security Brief, an annual report funded by the governments of Canada, Norway,
Clueless [Dan Collins]
I hate to thump Andrew over this, as if he’s been consistent about one thing over the years, it’s been that the Clintons are ethically pernicious. So, when Mrs. Clinton demagogues the vote in Florida, stating that it would be tragic if once again, after the way they were robbed by Bush in 2000, their votes (in the primary) weren’t counted. It makes Andrew’s gob tingle painfully, in a way
