I give up [UPDATED]

Really. Abandon all hope. Because these guys are our new spokespeople. Exit question: how does one “agree with Allahpundit,” and then complain that the Democrats have taken an ad and willfully misinterpreted it to cause an outrage? I mean, does the astounding disconnect really not register? Stop being fucking victims. Christ. Conservatives deserve to wander in the wilderness so long as they continue to accept the premises that Democrats foist

Belated Expression of Deep Gratitude [Dan Collins]

I’m going to be spending some of the rest of the day thanking people for sending money when we were stuck down in Florida, helping M&D move into assisted living. It’s really inexcusable that I’ve taken this long. For those of you who were able to donate, or wished you could have, I want to say that I’m deeply grateful. You helped us out of a jam. And to Jeff,

Mixology Bleg [Dan Collins]

To celebrate Memorial Day weekend, I’d like for you all to concoct a recipe for the cocktail denominated the Sloe Joe, in honor of our VP. Rohypnol may be an ingredient only if you’ve got a reliable source of top-shelf date rape that you’re willing to share with the rest of us.

Leftists Rage Against MSM [Dan Collins]

You can look around the blogosphere a little and supply your own links, or if anybody claims I’m attacking a straw man, I guess I’ll have to go and do it. Just for an example, though (and I’ve also read some and seen numerous tweets to this effect), NPR reported on their listener mail today and said that lots and lots of people were OUTRAGED that by giving ex-VP Cheney

OW! [Dan Collins]

The folks at Viralogy yesterday were kind enough to let us know that we’d been recognized as one of the Top Ten Political Blogs, based on their way of calculating such things. I was hesitant to link back, because we finished behind . . . O-Dub. Then The Anchoress, who’s always writing stuff that appeals to my “better nature,” which I try to keep firmly under control, writes this piece

Red Meat for happyfeet’s turtles [Dan Collins]

Caleb Howe has the story, at Red State, of the anti-American commercials, apparently made for the History Channel (in theory, anyway) for use in foreign markets by Oglivy and Mather, which won a Clio award. These are the same kinds of utopian arseholes who become upset when I criticize Google for what I regard as an amazing disrespect and lack of gratitude towards our armed forces. Like all utopian arseholes,

Pelocchio CIA Lying Claims Investigation Rejected [Dan Collins]

House Democrats on Thursday defeated a Republican push to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claims that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against terrorism suspects. The House voted 252-172 to block the measure that would have created a bipartisan congressional panel. Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, sponsored the resolution. “This is partisan politics and an attempt by the Republicans to distract from the real issue

Yglesias: Deep Thoughts [Dan Collins]

on the pronunciation of Aufwiederstahan.

Dick Cheney’s Gravitas [Dan Collins]

is so great that it just ripped an enormous hole in the Moonbat Continuum. Will link when it’s available. BTW, Cheney did incorporate some stinging rejoinders to Obama’s earlier speech, so, I think The One made a mistake trying to monopolize the coverage by going first. On Twitter, Kathy Shaidle states that it’s the greatest speech of the Bush Administration, only a little late. I think that’s about right.

Shocker: Barney “There Should Be Less Regulation” Frank Lies About ACORN

In on-air debate with Michelle Bachmann, Barney says it’s a lie to state that ACORN will be eligible for billions in federal funds. At American Spectator, Matt Vadum lays out the ways that Congress seek to reward ACORN and the fuzzy accounting, internal and external, that enable the scheme.
