Yeah. Cutting-edge, for its time. Admittedly, it lacks that essential “white horse running through a room in slow motion” quality found in most videos of the time, but then they were essentially making up the music video genre as they went along. No uniform weights and measures, as it were.
…and goodness gracious, but that song is old enough to serve in Congress.
And so we say goodbye to Mars Needs Women
Swear to God, it’s true.
If you’re into science fiction at all, you’ve probably come across the concept of the Puppet Masters
Probably much like this:
The Bay State senator was telling a group of business and civic leaders in town at his invitation about the “bizarre’’ tale of how South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford had “disappeared for four days’’ and claimed to be hiking along the Appalachian Trail, but no one was really certain of his whereabouts.
“Too bad,’’ Kerry said, “if a governor had to go missing it couldn’t have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin.’’

…Yes. Yes, she is Governor of Alaska, Senator. Well done!

…for tonight’s Reason Happy Hour is going to be. Can’t wait to find out.
Probably the focus will be on reports of a Southern politician getting involved in morally questionable behavior with an Argentinian woman while down in South America.
Good job there, Bill Clinton.

PS: Oh, did you think that I meant Sanford? Hey, not my fault that our sex scandals are less low-rent than the Democrats’…

Some time in the next year or so, the rules will be quietly changed so as to ensure that the power gaming techniques used by the current President to win the Democratic nomination in 2008 cannot be used against him in 2012. It’ll be straight primaries, winner take all, no more convoluted delegate allocation methods.
Second prediction: it will be touted as a ‘reform.’

PS: If this comes true, feel free to reward me as a prophet by hitting the tip jar. Heck, hit it anyway.

(Via Instapundit) What the frak is going on with the Cap and Trade bill is that it’s being shepherded through Congress by a government that is:
I hope that this helps clear up any lingering confusion.

PS: I note that Paul Blumenthal’s post quoted Chris Bowers. I know how the latter voted in the last election; I’m curious as to how the former did. After all, it’d be a shame to include Blumenthal in the standard Elections have consequences comment if he actually had nothing to do with compounding the problem…

LA-03: Cook has it at R+12, and McCain took the district with 61% of the vote in 2008. Its current incumbent Charlie Melancon is widely believed to be planning to challenge Senator Vitter next year, but the NRCC is going to be whaling on this one any which way:
In recent months, the NRCC had been ratcheting up the pressure on the three-term Congressman with a radio and print media campaign challenging his claims of being a fiscal conservative and criticizing him for his votes on issues such as the economic stimulus bill. In addition, the committee has continually promised to put up a well-known, well-funded challenger in 2010 regardless of whether Melancon opts to leave the House behind.
With Melancon’s jump to the Senate race now seen as likely, the committee believes it has an even better shot of flipping a district that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won with 61 percent in 2008.
“After months of being confronted with negative ads and hostile crowds, it seems clear that Charlie Melancon has decided he’d rather risk losing statewide than be defeated for re-election,” NRCC spokesman Paul Lindsay said Monday. “This is a district that has trended more conservative while Melancon has become more liberal.”
Admittedly, Ensign’s taken one heck of a drop, but he’s still at least more liked than disliked.
Favorable / Unfavorable
Sen. Ensign (R): 39 / 37 (May 12-14: 53 / 18)
Sen. Reid (D): 34 / 46Job Approval/Disapproval
Reid: 43 / 55
Ensign: 48 / 45
Jim Geraghty thinks that Reid should try having an affair; I will not be cruel and write the first three things that come to mind*. I will however, note that the Presidential numbers:
Favorable / Unfavorable
Pres. Obama: 49 / 32
Job Approval/Disapproval
Obama: 47% Excellent/Good, 50% Fair/Poor
…seem a bit weak for somebody who won Nevada 55/43.
