Obviously, this being the most important election ever — so much so that we have to stop all our Hobbity “True Believer” nonsense and get behind the Romney Technocrat Express — the RNC is going to do everything it can to pick up this Senate seat in Missouri, yes? After all, we need all the seats we can get if we’re going to repeal ObamaCare. Right? And this would seem

#WarOnWomen — indeed [Darleen Click]
The Leftwinger Democrats get their hate on Ann Romney I want to murder Ann Romney Dr. Rice Does Condi Rice go to some Spa to get some “spray-on Negro”? And Twitchy doesn’t even list the worst of the Twitter hatefest.
Did Paul Ryan “lie” about Janesville plant?
The WaPo and the liberal “fact checkers” immediately declared that yes, the Badger-faced Hitler had LIED — that the plant closed under George Bush. Except that it didn’t, unless George Bush was President in June 2009. And Ryan’s point was to highlight Obama’s declaration while a candidate that government, in particular the stimulus program, would save plants like the one in Janesville that had been slated to close — which
quick impressions of the GOP convention, as seen on C-SPAN
Jesus God. Jesus God, make it stop. Jesus God, make it stop so bad. Honestly. I never thought there existed anything that could make Mom jeans and a bike helmet on a skinny Marxist seem remotely cool. But this might just do it. And that’s after I’ve seen him throw a baseball. Jesus God. Jesus. God.
“Entitlement Reforms”
Thomas Sowell: For those of us who like to believe that human beings are rational, trying to explain what happens in politics can be a real challenge. For example, that segment of the population that has the least to fear from a reform of Medicare or Social Security is the most fearful — namely, those already receiving Medicare or Social Security benefits. […] There are people who take seriously such
“ABC News: Romneys ‘Happy to Have a Party When Black People’r Drowning’”
Maybe if we just distance ourselves from the anti-abortion nutjobs; the xenophobes who hate the best, most noble brown lettuce pickers among us, yearning to be free; and adopt the narrative that Obama is very nice, very likeable good man who it just so happens had a bit more trouble being President than he might otherwise have had had he more time to prepare for the job; then the media
It can never happen here!
Unless and until it does. And it most certainly will. Does it matter, this kind of imposed social change? Who knows. Maybe we in the West have simply been doing it wrong all these years, relying on some ancient set of mores written by desert-dwelling goat herders who, when they weren’t cowering in fear of Yahweh or hoarding shekels, likely had their dicks in the livestock. Too, there are probably
GOP Convention rule changes: forget for a moment the what; ask yourself why
As Morton Blackwell noted last evening on Mark Levin’s radio program, there is a natural impulse from those in power to try to secure and consolidate that power — and in essence, that’s what the RNC and Mitt Romney, with the cynical and dishonorable aid of Speaker Boehner (who had literally to pretend to be deaf and blind), did yesterday with their rules changes, assuring that the national Party establishment
Convention observations [Darleen Click]
Caught about 2 hours of convention coverage last night by watching CNN, since NBC/CBS/ABC refused to do more than cover 1 hour because, heaven forfend the peasants miss Stern & buds rather than being involved in making choices about their own futures. I did see the speeches by Rick Santorum, Arthur Davis, Nikki Haley, Ann Romney & Chris Christie. Santorum’s wasn’t the stemwinder I would have liked, but the rest
Twitter conservatives / leftwing sites luxuriate over newest Akin argument that feeding breastmilk to gays cures them
Except if you trace the story back, the source is the Daily Currant, which describes itself as “The Global Satirical Newspaper of Record.” But hey. The cartoon we’ve drawn of Akin in our heads is what made the story plausible in the first place, so Akin only has himself to blame for our having immediately thought that the cartoon in our heads exactly reinforced the cartoon in our heads. Most
