Not the guy with the hat’s. The other guy’s.
Of course, I’d probably need to exercise more. Breaking the fourth wall requires a certain amount of applied force.

A nice, soothing song for the evening.
.Breitbart’s talk on Hollywood and the GOP from Wednesday.
As I mentioned earlier, I went to the shindig that Americans for Limited Government & NetRight Nation put together that featured Andrew Breitbart (of Breitbart & Big Hollywood). The below features the question that I asked.
You can see the first two parts over at The Other McCain. Watch the whole thing: Andrew’s pretty fun in person, and he has a perspective on this sort of thing that is pretty provocative.

How to write something, and how to be a good writer.
This was sparked by a conversation with my lovely and talented wife, who by the way feels that I may have been a bit, ah, focused in my description of how to write something, and how to be a good writer. To which I can only reply that at least I’m not padding out several hundred pages here.
So, how to write something:
and How to be a good writer.
If this advice works for you, by all means: prove me right by hitting the tip jar.

Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) breaks with House Democrats on reconciliation.
While in the process of idly mentioning that the deficit’s going to be worse than originally indicated, Senator Conrad (D-Countrywide) says something very, very interesting:
Conrad also said he did not plan to include any instructions in the budget plan he is crafting for health care or the greenhouse gas initiatives. Such instructions written into the budget would give it a privileged status and make it easier to become law, but likely spark a nasty fight with minority Republicans.
This is in reference to “reconciliation,” which is a process by which the Democrats would be able to put specific legislation into bills that could be passed by a simple majority in the Senate, instead of the 60 vote system that we’ve effectively evolved over the years. The House is currently threatening to impose it over health care, if those awful Republicans don’t ‘see reason’ (translation: ‘do what the Democrats say’): we have a deadline until September.
