…no, probably not.
Anyway, Ace of Ace of Spades HQ has an interesting review up – OK, he has two interesting reviews up, but I’m working under the assumption that I’ll see Doubt

*I assume that what will happen is that it’ll be on or about to be on, somewhere, just as I’m wandering by; and then I’ll watch it. And then I’ll agree that it was a good film, and that I enjoyed it.
But you can’t afford a flight, these days? Well, Jack Murtha is ready to help! – At least, the NRCC takes the attitude that he should be making the offer, and it’s hard to fault their logic. Actually, it’s impossible to fault their logic: Murtha did funnel all that money to ‘his’ airport for his own convenience, so the least he can do is give you some, too.

And I don’t even want to know if it’s fake. Honestly, I’d rather that it was real.
I was originally going to run with the joke, but as this article points out there are some graphic images associated with it, and it’s not very nice to pull that on somebody without warning. Check out Blue Crab Boulevard for more…

[UPDATE] Welcome, Instapundit readers.
When a newspaper is associating pictures like this:
……to stories about said politician’s nephew: well, articles like this are almost redundant.
Nephew Mentioned Rep. Murtha in Dealings as Contractor
Robert C. Murtha Jr. has made a sizable living for years working with companies that rely on Pentagon contracts over which his uncle, Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.), holds considerable sway.
He has maintained that his uncle played no role in his defense-related work, much of it secured without competition. Newly obtained documents, however, show Robert Murtha mentioning his influential family connection as leverage in his business dealings and holding unusual power with the military. The documents add to mounting questions about Rep. Murtha, whose use of federal earmarks to help favored defense companies and his relationship with a former lobbying firm are under scrutiny by federal investigators.
The visual cue is fairly obvious, after all. Continue reading Murtha’s Nephew under the media microscope.
That was my wife’s immediate response to my mentioning that Rush Limbaugh responded to Ms. Sykes
But she is smart. Smarter than me, in fact; I had already worked out that Limbaugh has bigger fish to fry, but she connects the dots very quickly, sometimes.

Depressingly, this song is old enough to buy me booze. Given that I was not old enough to buy cigarettes when it came out and swiftly became our ‘clean up the Mickey Dee’s after we chased out the last drunk and closed the store’ song, well.
My wife reported that she thought that she heard this song in a McDonald’s ad, actually. I am happy to report that if so, I have not yet found it.
[UPDATE] And welcome, Weekly Standard readers.
[UPDATE] Welcome, Instapundit readers. Taking a trip, soon? Murtha’s here to help!
Examining Rasmussen’s trust-on-issues numbers from month to month is interesting enough, but I was interested in the long term trends. So I put together this chart comparing this month’s numbers with those of last October’s*:

But that’s typical for this administration.

Remember the joke about what ‘Sykes’ means in Newcomer?
Curiously… apropos, don’t you think?
