The notion that Barack Obama is the second coming of George McGovern is taking hold across the ideological spectrum. At TNR, John B. Judis writes that Obama’s vote in Pennsylvania took on the shape of a McGovernite coalition led by college students and minorities: Its ideology is very liberal. Whereas in the first primaries and caucuses, Obama benefited from being seen as middle-of-the-road or even conservative, he is now receiving

Yesterday several of our military readers were around, including Major John, RTO Trainer and Sgt. Ted. Major John dumps this intel from Iraq: Hi all. I am tired. I guess that about sums it up. I am about to start another day helping the totally defeated Iraqi 14th Division figure out what to do with all the captured JAM personnel and equipment…heh. The highlight of that thread, though, in response
Dems 2008: In adversity, bitter pundits cling to their Obamessiah [Karl]
The New York Times editorial board is bitter: The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result on Tuesday, was even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it. Voters are getting tired of it; it is demeaning the political process; and it does not work. It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Frankfort man was arrested on drug trafficking charges early Sunday morning after he was reportedly pumping gas into an imaginary vehicle. According to the arrest report, Metro Police arrived at a gas station at First and Jefferson streets in Louisville and immediately smelled marijuana coming from Joshua L. Moore, who station clerks contend was filling up an imaginary vehicle. The more interesting question is whether he

Catholics: Racists [Dan Collins]
Mass-going, not Mass-going, they’ve crucifuckinfied the Obamessiah in Pennsylvania, the primitive bastards. Strangely, though, many of them expressed the sentiment (apart from Thy Will Be Done) that it would be nice if Thy Will meant that we would have the first African Pope, who might do for Africa what John Paul II had done for Eastern Europe.
