Own a Contemporary Religious Relic [Dan Collins; UPDATED]

Behold!  The Holy Waffle of Glider. Monstrance sold separately.  (h/t Hot Air) More: When rapture goes wrong. Searchers scanned the waters off Brazil’s southern Atlantic coast on Tuesday for a Roman Catholic priest who disappeared after floating into the sky under hundreds of helium party balloons. Rescuers in helicopters and small fishing boats spent a second day seeking signs of the Rev. Adelir Antonio de Carli, said the treasurer of

Pennsylvania midday update [Karl]

The Field’s Al Giordano (whose earlier beakdown of PA was linked this morning) has a new forecast of Clinton +4.6 as part of a roundup that runs as high as Clinton+12.  Electoral math being what it is, the forecasts all have Clinton gaining only four delegates. Of course, as noted this morning, delegate counts may not be known tonight, so people will focus on the popular vote.  Giordano also has

Fifty-eighth in a series of real-time empirical observations

In the time it takes you to read this post, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama will spend at least a minute complaining to a throng of reporters about not being able to finish his waffle — in the process, wasting at least a minute he could have spent ignoring those same reporters and quietly finishing his fucking waffle. The irony of which is, of course, racist. And — from Glenn

Important Shannon Elizabeth alert [Karl]

In light of pw’s long-standing interest in Shannon Elizabeth, I note that she and her Dancing With the Stars partner Derek Hough were caught canoodling Thursday while frolicking at the beach in Malibu.  Of course, it may be just for show — a cynical ploy for votes, much like bowling and boilermakers are for pols in Pennsylvania.

Hill-Rod? [Dan Collins]

We’ll endorse it, but only if it means hillbilly hotrod.  If you’re into that kinda thing, go check out the Old Crow Speed Shop, using the chassis of the past to rewire your ride for the future.

Dragon-Slayer Banished [Dan Collins]

Apparently, Muslims are great defenders of dragons.  Who knew that they were acting in concert with PETA?  In 2006 Church of England officials contemplated giving Saint George the boot from his perch as Patron Saint of England because he was too offensive for modern day Muslims. Now, British officials have cancelled an annual St. George’s Day Parade in Bradford in fear that Muslims will riot. Many of the youngsters had already

If it's Tuesday, it must be Pennsylvania [Karl]

Over the weekend, RCP’s Jay Cost noted that the movement in the PA polls was strikingly similar to the movement in the OH pre-primary polls.  Cost avers that past is not necessarily prologue, but notes that there are reasons to expect them to move in tandem.  So it is worth keeping in the back of the mind that Clinton outpolled the RCP average in OH. The RCP average in PA

Liberal talks to herself, lectures L.A. Times readers [Karl]

At the L.A. Times, Susan Jacoby condemns “the public’s increasing reluctance to give a fair hearing — or any hearing at all — to opposing points of view.”  After noting that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson reconciled their friendship at the end of their lives, Jacoby writes: It is doubtful that today’s politicians will spend much time trying to explain themselves to one another even after they leave office. They

Mrs. Butterworth comments on Barack Obama's refusal to answer a foreign policy question in mid-waffle [Karl]

Mrs. Butterworth:  “See how the leading syrup just runs over this stack while Mrs. Butterworth takes her own sweet time?  Same principle.” ——————— Update: Lizard-lanche!
