As you are aware if you read my Sunday morning post, we drove Aidan to camp yesterday. It was closer to a 4 1/2 hour drive than the 3 1/2 hour drive I figured on. But we got there. Only to discover that the immunization records we had were incomplete; that is, they showed only one MMR innoculation, when two were required. We were certain that he’d received both, and

…Unless, of course, you cause Obamalot any kind of discomfort, embarrassment, or “outrage” — even if you happen to be completely on the side of the new Messiah. At which point, all bets are off. From the LA Times blog: There’s probably no connection whatsoever. But the New Yorker writer Ryan Lizza, whose long, long article on Barack Obama’s early political days in Chicago’s ward politics (available here) was the

The Drudge Report dispatch on the New York Times rejection of an op-ed piece by John McCain addressing Iraq and responding to Obama’s prior NYT op-ed on the issue is atop Memeorandum at the moment, so lets get to it. ABC’s Rick Klein and Sara Just reprint more of the rejection letter from op-ed editorial page editor (and former Clinton administration official) David Shipley: “I’d be very eager to publish the Senator

Jeanne Cummings reports that $21 million came from the un-itemized small donors (below $200) throughout the month, and not all on the last day as initial summary of Obama’s donations posted on the FEC website had led some to believe.  Though I would still hypothesize that the bulk of that money came in when Obama effectively locked

In speeches at Constitution Hall and Netroots Nation (formerly Yearly Kos), former Vice President Al Gore challenged the US to shift its entire electricity sector to carbon-free wind, solar and geothermal power within 10 years.  The speech was quasi-fisked by Andrew Revkin at the New York Times, of all places.  But Revkin avoided the depths of Gore’s detachment from reality in this passage: Ten years is about the maximum time that we as

The Washington Post covers how the Yearly Kos convention has expanded and become Netroots Nation, but Kos himself knows it’s Obama’s World: “It’s not a question of who needs whom. Fact is, the Netroots are not going to be the decisive factor,” Kos says, fidgeting with his iPhone as he sits on a lounge chair at the Hilton, across the street from the convention center. “But having said that, we’re
