Oddly enough, not a recipe (that I’ll leave to Jeff G, if he is so moved), but how Camille Paglia and one of her Salon readers view Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff: I would like to get your feedback on the subject of those who end up in Hillary’s orbit. Can you conceive of a strong, leader-type male ever working under her? An alpha, if you will. And if the answer

Dems 2008: Why did Obama join the Wright church, revisited [Karl]
I just happened to have caught Rush Limbaugh flogging The Wall Street Journal piece by Lanny Davis on Barack Obama’s response to the sermons and writings of his pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, as well as Ryan Lizza’s March 19, 2007 TNR profile of Barack Obama, recently revived by Infidels are Cool for the “Was the Rev. Wright a former Muslim and black nationalist?”
PW Smacks Gleen(s) [Dan Collins]
Being a follow-up to Karl’s excellent post from earlier today, involving the other PW. It’s an outrage, he tells ya! Temerity! As if!! Glenn Greenwald, who established himself as one of the leading leftie bloggers in the blink of an eye, is building a body of substantial published work almost as quickly. Crown is about to publish his new book, Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics, and
Dems 2008: Obama's non-mythical problem with whites [Karl]
Yes, the fact that Obama campaign event coordinators at Carnegie Mellon University were demanding, “Get me more white people, we need more white people†to sit behind Michelle Obama yesterday suggests that Barack Obama thinks he needs to court the white vote in Pennsylvania. This may surprise the Obama-supporting Jed Report, which correctly notes that some polling data suggests that Hillary Clinton has a bigger problem with white voters than Obama. The flaw in the
Rick Ellensburg: The Silence of the Sock-Puppets [Karl]
Rick Ellensburg is quite upset that Megan McArdle and Dan Drezner supposedly defended the establishment media in response to another recent Ellensburg screed, which complained that the media was more interested in covering stories like Barack Obama’s bad bowling score or his relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright than the declassification of the 2003 “torture memo” drafted by John Yoo, then a deputy in the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel. In reality, Drezner and McArdle did not
Seeing as how Geordie McCredie of Vancouver BC has posted my pic on Bullshido…
It’s only fair that we turn that around, I think. “Sure, laugh. But Art Garfunkle could have beaten Paul Simon like a tiny Jew drum”
Barack Obama, uniter
Actually, I’m being serious. Because once we get to the point where we’re all either fined for speech, or else asked to give up our jobs because somebody somewhere might have taken something we said and grafted onto it their own intended meaning (either out of a sense of hurt, or — more probably — out of the kind of perverse opportunism an atmosphere of “acceptable speech” inevitably creates) in
John McCain Atrocity Files [Dan Collins]
Disgruntled Congressional Staffer: “I saw him eat a baby!” Lamarckians at the NYT: Maybe it will grow legs this time?
Anybody from around these parts familiar with British Columbia?
I’m particularly interested in Courtney (or is it Courtenay?), Comox Valley BC, round about 115 5th Street. Guy who teaches some kind of martial art there wants to smack me around a little. I think he might be part of the Cobra Kai. — Which would mean I need to find me a little Okinawan man who wants his fence painted and his cars waxed, and is willing to pay
