Hard-Core Sully [Dan Collins]

(a Serr8d joint)

What McChimpler hath wrought [Karl]

The title of Prof. Andrew J. Bacevich’s op-ed in the Boston Globe is actually “What Bush hath wrought,” but I figure that was the editing process at work. He lists a parade of would be horribles, but the third item should suffice to explain the Bacevich worldview: Affirmed – despite the catastrophe of Sept. 11, 2001 – that the primary role of the Department of Defense is not defense, but power projection

McCain on Clark Brouhaha [Dan Collins]

Dateline: somewhere between Indianapolis and Cartagena Clark’s comments won’t keep his children stuffed with healthy organic fruit

Democratic Party Official Charged With Satanic Ritual Sex Crimes [Dan Collins]

I haven’t posted on this, because I haven’t much to say about it, really. I just want to say that I understand that such sick people don’t in any way represent the great majority of Democratic Party Officials.

Sullivan also writes that “you could see this coming a while back.” Funny, I seem to recall writing about it for months and having Sullivan disagree with

Long-Awaited Sequel to “Quest for Fire” [Dan Collins]

Quest for Sex Porn “I’m Your Hanuman” Your BLT to supplement– Well, I am the god to see; I give you good luck, you tell all your friends They’ll come running to me

Death Takes A [Dan Collins]

Coffee Break.

A post involving little speculation about oil prices [Karl]

Robert J. Samuelson has a column at the Washington Post laying out the argument that politicians (including John McCain and Barack Obama) blaming speculators for rising prices “either don’t understand what’s happening or don’t want to acknowledge their own complicity.”  He argues that a “better explanation is basic supply and demand,” particularly increased demand from China and India, noting that prices are rising for commodities like iron that are not
