So, what’s the most offensive part of this missile defense cave?

I’m having difficulty working it out.  Is it because:

…or should I just embrace the healing power of ‘and?’

This will end badly.

You don’t release interviews like this unless you’re about to get hit with a scandal.  Hell, what with things happening lately it’s probably going to come out that she got the ‘raw materials’ for her coat into the country via the assistance of ACORN employees.

Via… somebody or other.

PS: “HIIII-YAAAHHH!”

Don’t look at me like that. You know you want to own that.

‘Rod Blagojevich, THOU ART AVENGED!’

Have I used that one before?

Doesn’t matter if I had: it’s worth repeating. Via @MelissaTweets comes the wonderful news that Roland Burris is giving this ‘run for election’ thing serious consideration.  Yes, I know that the conventional wisdom is that he won’t, but Roland Burris is neither conventional, nor particularly wise – and he’s not actually ruling out a run. Admittedly, right now his major problem is that he’d need to find some surefire and very public way to appeal to the liberal faction of the Democratic party.  But how to do that?

…Sen. Roland Burris just put out a statement saying he won’t vote for a bill that doesn’t include a public option, which is not supported by many of his moderate Democratic Senate colleagues.

Yeah. Yeah, that’ll do it.

PS: Just remember: if he does run, and you’re a Democrat who votes against him in the primary, it’s because you’re a racist. Just ask Jimmy Carter.

Clearly, Nancy Pelosi is a New York Times reader…

…because she hadn’t a clue about the Senate ACORN defunding amendment.  Note that the New York Post is a little more forceful than me; they called Speaker Pelosi ‘clueless.’  Which is not actually unfair of them: keeping track of things like this is part of the Speaker of the House’s job.

Then again, so is paying attention to what happens on the House floor.

Are you a Democratic legislator in a Republican-leaning seat?

Because if you are, here is an advisory: as of this moment, if the Right catches you or your staff within 100 yards of an ACORN office or worker we will cheerfully crucify you with that organization. And by ‘crucify’ I mean ‘take the metaphorical and rhetorical equivalent of long iron nails and permanently attach you to ACORN with them.” As the above link to Jon Stewart’s appalled reaction to all of this shows, public perceptions of the group shifted, and not to the benefit of the people that like to use ACORN. Now would be a good time for individual Democratic politicians to start publicly breaking with the group, in fact.

Seriously. The San Diego video is out, and this one involves a guy talking about why Tijuana is the best place to smuggle underage El Salvadoran hookers across the border (because he has contacts there). Continue reading Are you a Democratic legislator in a Republican-leaning seat?

“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it).”

Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), Beyonce

…so, yeah, I actually sat down and watched it. Good song, good video; I can see why people liked it. Not worth Kanye West imploding his career over… actually, no, it was so totally worth Kanye West imploding his career over, but that’s because I agree with the President that Kanye West is a jackass.

Just received the Photoshop from the Wish List!

The arrival of the Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 7 was completely unexpected, and very welcome. Now I guess I don’t have an excuse anymore for producing bad videos.

Many thanks to my benefactor, and to everybody who supports this site… which should definitely be extended to Neil Stevens, who very graciously hosts it for me on what’s essentially his own dime.  That link should let you show your appreciation for the venue…
